The taxpayers stated that Pia Olsen Dyhr in a new video talked about how much an ordinary family could save with differentiated VAT. The organization claimed that she did not mention that the electricity tax was planned to rise sharply from January 1, 2028, which according to the taxpayers would cost the same family almost 4,000 crowns extra per year. The taxpayers wrote that the politicians could avoid the increase without new IT systems, more bureaucracy, or changes to the VAT system, if they refrained from raising the electricity tax. The organization encouraged people to sign a petition. https://t.co/ksVyPcmDRk #DifferenteretMoms #Elafgift #Politik (translated)

GFrei.News referred to democracy as a facade for corruption and criticized that citizens could only vote for the Bundestag every four years and for state parliaments every five years. Regardless of the election results, parties declared themselves winners and claimed a mandate to govern, the author wrote. Subsequently, they would use parliamentary procedures and loopholes to gain power and circumvent the will of the voters. GFrei.News accused politicians from established parties of profiting from high salaries, expensive hotels, chauffeurs, and private flights after taking office, and leading a taxpayer-funded life like super-rich individuals. The author also mentioned secure pensions after just a few years in office, appearances on talk shows and company visits, as well as a lack of attention in parliamentary debates. Laws would be passed behind closed doors with a government majority; committees and debates were merely a stage act for the cameras, GFrei.News claimed. The political leadership had made the state prey and was failing its mandate to the populace, the author wrote. He called for a shift to direct democracy, where citizens could stop harmful laws and remove politicians before the end of their terms. Finally, GFrei.News criticized that leaving out a tie with a suit was careless. https://t.co/FDN07LHPIX #Demokratie #Politik #Korruption (translated)

Sara Nilsson wrote that she had accepted to participate in Afterlyst special but made it clear to the editorial team that she did not want to discuss issues that Dumpen had raised since its inception over five years ago. She stated that she could consider participating if the conversation was about offenders and shortcomings in children's protection. Nilsson wrote that she had hoped the editorial team would pay attention to the influx of judgments in neighboring countries and compare them with Swedish legislation, which she believed was insufficient to prosecute individuals who actively tried to involve children in their sex lives. She also argued that individuals confronted by Dumpen had gone beyond merely viewing abusive material and were willing to risk a lot to gain access to children. Instead, the production, according to Nilsson, had developed questions about, among other things, the risk of exposing innocent people, men who had taken their own lives after confrontations, responsibility for relatives, the police's role, and her own defamation verdict. She perceived the layout as a crime special focusing on criticism of Dumpen. Nilsson wrote that she became very angry when a contact person at TV3 said that they privately thought Dumpen was doing a good job. She criticized people who, according to her, only expressed support for children's right to protection when no one else was listening, and called for adults to stand up for children openly. She stated that Dumpen had a support team with, among others, conversation therapists and psychiatrists, and asked what support Afterlyst offered. Nilsson claimed that individuals Afterlyst published information about were not more convicted than those published by Dumpen, and referred to the principle that a person should be considered innocent until a guilty verdict is announced. She asked whose right to protection was prioritized when the program created a special episode criticizing its own coverage. #Barnsäkerhet #Rättvisa #Skydd (translated)

Haintz also added that he had already had lunch with members of the SPD. #Politik #Debatte #Gespräch (translated)

Morlock No. 2 wrote that, according to his depiction, only the state and the arms industry benefit from German economic growth.

Regina Laska wrote that Henry Lindo had sent her a screenshot in the morning, in which Russia complained about Ukrainian hacker groups. The name "LASKA" had also appeared in it, which jokingly led her to check her intelligence connections. According to Laska, her namesakes were working with the Ukrainian military intelligence and, according to their information, had significantly weakened Russia's defense industry and obtained important information. Kyrylo Budanov awarded them the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Order of the 3rd Class for this. The announcement was dated March 4, 2025, her 60th birthday, she wrote. Laska noted that "Láska" means love in Czech. She added jokingly that her future complaints about Putin should be treated with caution before asking Moneypenny for coffee. #Laska #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

"I understand everyone who is angry that we only dealt with ourselves," Kucher said. "Babler is the present of the government. We are the future of the party."

Kai Nielsen jokingly asked whether it was about the political center and clarified that he meant the middle of the table. Seriously, he added that it was normal for him and his seat neighbor Pries from the AfD to talk to each other and drink coffee before meetings. It would be terrible if that were no longer possible in local politics, wrote Nielsen. #Kommunalpolitik #Gesprächskultur #Miteinander (translated)

Viktor Barth-Kron criticized a DN columnist who, according to him, lamented the existence of political conflicts in the Swedish parliament. He questioned the description of the time after the speaker election as a "bloodthirsty spiral of revenge" and wrote that the Social Democrats had been grumpy for a couple of days and that Ida Gabrielsson had talked about coffee. https://t.co/amlhFicfSw #politik #Sverige #DNkolumnist (translated)

Viktor Barth-Kron wondered if it might be good to settle the long-standing red-green conflict once and for all. He asked whether it should happen before or after a snap election, which, as he wrote, was in the constitution for a reason. https://t.co/LFONNw7ez2 #politik #extraval #konflikt (translated)

Jonathan Levi questioned why the team did not prioritize skipping the Nations League, as he believed that qualifying for the World Cup was more difficult than for the European Championship. He suggested that the team should drop down to Division C and mentioned Estonia and Moldova. According to Levi, this would guarantee a spot in the World Cup playoff. #NationsLeague #VM2026 #Fotboll (translated)

Michael wrote that in Germany a large legal action is being taken over 20 euros, while others like Spahn are not being prosecuted despite allegations amounting to billions. In the case he described, an 80-year-old man gave 20 euros for the coffee fund in a card to the ambulance service that had taken his wife to the hospital after she collapsed. The district did not return the money but forwarded it to the public prosecutor's office for corruption. As a result, an investigation was initiated against the couple for granting advantages. The husband was supposed to have the proceedings dismissed for a fee of 20 euros, which according to Michael would have meant admitting the crime. He refused. The local court rejected the admission of the charge, viewing the gesture as innocent and the accusation as disconnected from reality. Nevertheless, the public prosecutor appealed to the regional court and failed there. The costs are borne by the state, Michael wrote. #Deutschland #Korruption #Rechtssystem (translated)
