The author wrote that for the first time in the history of the Federal Republic, a right-wing extremist had been elected as the President of Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt – also with votes from the CDU. He described the election as a watershed and criticized that Thierse, Fischer, and others had warned against the Left on the same day.

Dimetra wrote that on this day it was not only about a president of parliament, but also that a wall had fallen.

Baha described the excitement surrounding the events in Saxony-Anhalt as exaggerated and wrote that actions are being taken there at one's own discretion. Schulze's previous promises were seen as unrealistic; the CDU is not solely responsible, but also all those who believed they could replace a parliamentary majority with a specific stance. The author pointed out that the SPD and the Greens also voted with the AfD when it suited them, accusing them of only observing the firewall in the case of the Union. Political observers, in his view, have no connection to reality in the country. The criticism does not come from Magdeburg, but from an "ivory tower," in which the Union is collectively portrayed as the sole culprit. No one takes responsibility for the failure of their own interpretation of the firewall against the right, wrote Baha. #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #CDU (translated)

The author referred to the appointment of a man whom he described as a nationalist thinking right-wing extremist and fascist as the vice president of a German parliament as the low point of democracy and a disgrace in light of German history. He noted that the man had been democratically elected. https://t.co/ZMMBW4eQt8 https://t.co/mtwpq2ceR5 #Demokratie #Rechtsextremismus #Faschismus #DE (translated)

The article presented the vote that day in Magdeburg as more than a decision about a parliamentary president. It was a preparation for Siegmund's election as Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt and thus for the takeover of a far-right party. Moreover, the author referred to it as another step on a national level. #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #Rechtsextremismus #DE (translated)

The author wrote that relevant parts of the CDU faction in Saxony-Anhalt have apparently elected a right-wing extremist to the head of a German parliament for the first time since the Holocaust. The CDU can no longer credibly represent "never again" if they simply accept this with a shrug, he added. https://t.co/jnek5AhBwI #CDU #Rechtsextremismus #Politik #DE (translated)

The author rejected the reference to parliamentary customs and wrote that he would not have elected any politician as the President of Parliament who should represent him if that person did not explicitly distance himself from the parts of his party that are labeled as securely right-extremist and also take actions to support that stance. https://t.co/u1JeJ22IVk #Politik #Demokratie #Rechtsstaat #DE (translated)
