Yvonne Kussmann wrote that 22-year-old student Marius Dick was stabbed on July 15, 2026, around 10 a.m. in Trier on a pedestrian path by 22-year-old Afghan Sajad M. After the act, Sajad M. was taken to a psychiatric clinic. There is a suspicion that he was incapable of culpability or had diminished culpability due to a mental illness, Kussmann wrote. Sajad M. had already been in a psychiatric clinic before. Despite repeated inquiries, the public prosecutor's office has not yet informed Kussmann whether he was committed at that time due to a danger to others. Marius's parents gave an interview to the Trier Volksfreund. Four weeks after the death of his son, the father suffered a heart attack and had to undergo surgery. He is currently in a rehab clinic and is supposed to come home on the weekend so that his wife and younger son are not alone. Kussmann wrote that Chancellor Merz called the parents shortly after the act because Marius’s mother was politically active in the CDU. The father reportedly urged Merz to immediately deport immigrants who had committed offenses to prevent further acts. This was a promise that Merz had made before the election. The father is now disappointed because, in his view, nothing has happened. He said that such acts could happen to anyone and accused the government of not protecting citizens. He said this would tear the CDU apart and could lead to other parties taking power. Germany is currently at a turning point, he also reportedly said. As of now, Sajad M. has not commented on the act. Kussmann wrote that she is looking forward to the trial with anticipation and fears it could end with an acquittal due to insanity and placement in overcrowded preventive detention. She announced that she would ask the public prosecutor's office again in the following week about the possible conclusion of the investigation and the status of the forensic psychiatric report. The interview can be found in the comments. #Trier #Gewalt #Justiz (translated)

In the past, a psychologist was someone. Today, a master's degree is the absolute minimum, which guarantees nothing. After graduation, it turns out that you are nobody. A patient enters the office and asks: "Are you a psychotherapist or just a psychologist?" When he hears that you only have a master's, he looks at you like an intern— In the past, a psychologist was someone. Today, a master's degree is the absolute minimum, which guarantees nothing.

Robert Kwit wrote that he wanted to apologize to TVN24 for earlier doubts regarding the station's credibility. He ironically described the alleged course of the program "Loża Prasowa," which was supposed to be dedicated to the Kołodziejczak issue. He attributed outrage to Dominika Wielowiejska from "Gazeta Wyborcza," apologies on behalf of liberal journalists to Jacek Gądek from "Newsweek," refusal to comment to Agnieszka Wiśniewska from "Krytyka Polityczna," and a call for Donald Tusk's resignation to Mariusz Janicki from "Polityka." He added that the host Arleta Zalewska allegedly used offensive terms towards Kołodziejczak. Kwit then noted that he was joking: according to him, the participants of the program did not mention the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Tusk's government nor did they devote any moment to the matter. #dziennikarstwo #Polska #lożaprasowa (translated)

Press Briefs reported nearly 7,000 police custody cases, 86% of which involved minors, and indicated that the majority had not led to legal proceedings at this stage. The account described these arrests as a massive and unprecedented measure aimed at containing the mobilization of young people. Several cited observers viewed this as a form of intimidation, while Press Briefs believed this practice infringed on the right to protest and risked normalizing disproportionate police and judicial responses. The account added that the preventive use of police custody had already been documented during the Yellow Vests movement. Relying on independent press articles, Press Briefs relayed testimonies from high school students reporting violent detention conditions, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, forced undressings, and physical or psychological violence. A 15-year-old reportedly recounted being slammed against a concrete bed and hit on the head by police and then insulted. A complaint had been filed, according to the account, which also indicated that the police prefecture had not responded to Mediapart's questions about the reported statements. Mohammed, a 16-year-old high school student in Saint-Denis, reportedly stated that police had hit the bars of his cell during the night to wake up the detainees and had targeted him with a racist insult. The mother of Noham, also 16, claimed that her son had been hit in the liver and face after asking why he had been arrested. Adam's mother also denounced violence against young protesters. Press Briefs added that several teenage girls and boys reported sexist and racist remarks from police, and complaints had been filed. Anne Savinel-Barras, president of Amnesty International France, expressed her concern over the repression of the student movement, believing that the young people's demands for education and health were met with prohibitions on demonstrations and disproportionate police violence. The NGO stated that it would support people peacefully protesting and defend the right to demonstrate. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights also expressed concern about the situation in France and notably called for a proportional use of force. #jeunesse #manifestation #répression (translated)

Peťulína Markvartová described the election results as a "slap in the face" at the most opportune moment, as she believed the most important elections were three years away. She called for a return to the program and for a decisive approach towards the opposition, which she claimed they had 108 votes for. She demanded the immediate proposal to abolish fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio, as well as the FARA law, and called for firm voting without unnecessary debates. She also criticized previous concessions in the election of members of the Czech Television Council, which she believed were related to the false recording of Wolffner. She warned that if the government continued to hesitate and try to appear decent, it would disappoint its voters, and in three years, the government would be run by the Austrian party. She labeled the SPD and Motorists as written off. #volby #politika #opozice (translated)
