Frederik Vad wrote that he did not know Søren Gade personally and had not worked closely with him either. After Vad's speech about his "third realization" in the Parliament in April 2024, which according to him triggered a massive storm with shouts in the street, media criticism, and harsh comments on anonymous debate boards, Gade wrote to him. Vad shared the text message with Gade's permission and noted that only a few colleagues had reached out that early. He believed that some had waited to see if it would be worth it, while Gade contacted him before the situation was clarified. Vad wrote that the experience had taught him something about good collegiality and thanked Gade as he was now leaving Christiansborg. #dkpol #dkpol #kollegaskab #fællesskab (translated)
Private Corporations make £680bn profit a year in the UK. £12,350 from every single adult. On this they pay just 13.2% tax. Every penny of that comes from wages they don't pay, taxes they don't pay, and bills they overcharge you. This is what is unsustainable.
Claudia Wittig, MdL, wrote that she was harassed today by ZDF reporters and criticized the reporting as, in her opinion, deceitful, one-sided, and designed to provoke outrage. She attended an event of a local peace alliance, to which all parties in the state parliament had been invited. BSW and AfD had confirmed their attendance; among the guests were Gabriele Gysi and Tino Eisbrenner. According to Wittig, reporters were waiting for her with a running camera at her private vehicle, even though she had declined an interview in writing. For the article, a photo of her and Ulrich Siegmund is to be reused, which originally was part of a group photo with other leading candidates. Siegmund did not participate in the event. Wittig accused the media of primarily scandalizing a supposed closeness to the AfD and not reporting on the content of the event. #Journalismus #Meinungsfreiheit #Faktenchecker (translated)
A recent IHS study shows that patients who pay privately for their treatment receive an operation date significantly faster, while a possible solution to combat this injustice would be a ban on side jobs for hospital doctors, which seems unrealistic. #Gesundheitssystem #Wartezeiten #PrivateZuzahlung (translated)

"Calenda has a problem: he thinks much more of himself than he really is. This applies to polls, and not only that. If it were just a personal problem, it would remain a private issue. But the point is that with this attitude he prevents the birth of a true liberal democratic pole. Everyone has already realized this, except for him," commented Marattin in response. #politica #centrodestra #alleanza (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that the Federal Constitutional Court had recently emphasized that public broadcasting is more important today than ever. The original argument for it, that there were only television frequencies for one or two channels and that a private television market was therefore inconceivable at first, no longer applies. At the same time, Vosgerau criticized the reasoning that citizens only receive reliable, correct, and politically balanced information through public broadcasting, while disinformation lurks on the internet. He ironically portrayed the reporting on France as if students were protesting there because they wanted to learn more and receive more homework. #ÖRR #Information #Frankreich (translated)
