Regina Laska wrote that CDA chairman Dennis Radtke (CDU) referred to Gerhard Schröder's recent appearance in Moscow in the Tagesspiegel as a "case of moral bankruptcy" and called on the SPD to expel the former chancellor from the party. Laska agreed with him. Schröder was too ill to testify before a parliamentary inquiry but fit enough to celebrate Vladimir Putin's birthday in Moscow and accept a new supervisory board position in Russia. According to Laska, the SPD state chairpersons in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are now also demanding a new expulsion procedure. The SPD district of Upper Palatinate voted unanimously in favor of it on Saturday. Schleswig-Holstein's SPD leader Ulf Kämpfer stated that the paths of the party and Schröder had parted ways many years ago. Laska asked why Schröder was still a member of the SPD. Previous expulsion procedures had failed in 2022 and 2023. It is not only about Schröder's differing stance on Russia policy, Laska wrote, but also about his demonstrative loyalty to Putin, who has been waging a war of annihilation against Ukraine for more than four and a half years. She also pointed out that SPD foreign policy expert Ralf Stegner had praised Schröder's visit to Putin. Pierre Orthen, chairman of the SPD local club in Baden-Württemberg's Leutenbach, publicly questioned whether this was in line with the responsibilities of a member of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee. Laska wrote that Stegner had held talks with Kremlin-affiliated representatives in Baku in April 2025. It apparently concerned the future of the Petersburg Dialogue, which Schröder co-founded with Putin in 2001. In June 2026, Stegner was said to have praised Schröder's connection to Putin; now he had attended Putin's birthday party. Laska asked what these contacts had achieved for peace in Ukraine and wrote that anyone justifying such talks as efforts for peace must also be able to explain what they had accomplished. #Schröder #Ukraine #SPD (translated)

The Hayek Club Weimar described socialism as a beneficial business model for politicians. State benefits and subsidies created dependency and thus secured voter support, the account wrote. Politicians would thereby become suppliers and citizens clients. In contrast, capitalism posed a threat to the political class, argued the Hayek Club Weimar, because it rewarded personal responsibility, innovation, and private initiative, making people more independent of the state. Regulations intended to tame the market served, according to the account, to limit competition and protect established interests. The account also accused politicians of portraying capitalism as unjust and antisocial while presenting the state as a moral authority. The state did not want free individuals but dependent subjects, wrote the Hayek Club Weimar, linking its criticism to calls for freedom and property as well as a rejection of taxes and state coercion. #FreiheitstattKnechtschaft #SteuernsindRaub #Eigentum #Freiheit #ParasitenwegmitEuremZwang #Freiheit #Kapitalismus #Sozialismus (translated)

GFrei.News criticized that politicians in Germany rarely step down and that parties do not demand this once someone has achieved a lucrative position. The author cited several allegations as justification: plagiarism in doctoral theses, a case where someone was caught with crystal meth, and the purchase of children from surrogacy in the USA despite a ban in Germany. He also referred to the accusation of having pretended to have a sick child in order to go on vacation and to time fraud. According to his portrayal, such cases usually remain without consequences and fall out of public attention after about two weeks. Politicians are practically like a high nobility, wrote GFrei.News. https://t.co/gipiwJyJPl #Deutschland #Politik #Skandal (translated)

The author of the entry criticized Andrzej Duda for his arguments, comparing them to party propaganda. He accused the former president of accusing Donald Tusk of inciting hatred and deliberately destroying social bonds, although he — according to the author — did not present evidence for these accusations or a causal link between the cited events. The author reminded that Duda held office for ten years and suggested that he should account for his own statements and involvement in deepening political divides. He noted that the former president had the right to criticize the government, but he should not expect that his accusations would be taken as proven facts merely because of his previous office. He also criticized his moralizing tone and pointed out the responsibility for the way he conducted the presidency. #Polityka #DebataPubliczna #Prezydentura (translated)
