Anna Schneider wrote that the Germany Day of the JU was disappointing: Instead of criticizing the Chancellor and the government, they primarily showed toughness towards the Left and demanded their social ostracism. The JU has thus clearly positioned itself as the only force between the right and the left, which, outside of its own political circles, mainly encounters indifference, Schneider said. https://t.co/ovHLzVSQRi #Deutschland #Politik #JU (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf wrote that she filed a criminal complaint after receiving a response to a Facebook post about her criticism of anti-Semitism and Islamism in Berlin, which was published under the name of the Trier leftist politician Jörg Johann. The response stated, "Just emigrate"; furthermore, the comment contained vulgar denigrations and an anti-Semitic stereotype about the wealth of Jews. Johann denies having written the comment and suspects that someone else had access to his account, Goldstein-Wolf wrote. She has commissioned lawyer Annette Heinisch, her friend and co-moderator at Macht und Markt, with the criminal complaint. It should also be clarified who actually authored the comment. #Antisemitismus #Judenhass #Solidarität (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf asked whether the Facebook account of Jörg Johann, the chair of the Left party in Trier, may have been attacked by a right-wing hacker. She wrote that Meta, or Facebook, did not inform Johann about a login from an unknown device and that he had not received any warning messages. She described it as a striking coincidence that the alleged hacker had published an anti-Semitic comment. Goldstein-Wolf noted that the access data apparently had not been changed and that Johann had been able to delete his account himself for that reason. She urged him to disclose any report he may have filed against unknown persons and asked what he should apologize for if he was the victim. #HackerAngriff #Datenschutz #SozialeMedien (translated)

Carsten Jahn asked, referring to a previous statement that the greatest danger comes from the right, whether a change in thinking is necessary in light of the comments made by Alexander Dobrindt that he cited. According to Jahn, Dobrindt stated in the "Bild" that attacks on police officers, burning town halls, and violence on the streets do not represent a commitment to better education, but rather an armed struggle against the free society. Furthermore, Dobrindt demanded a clear categorization from the parties in Germany. Those who do not recognize that left-wing extremists and a migrant milieu are jointly opposing the democratic system on the streets do not understand the situation, Jahn quoted the CSU politician. #Deutschland #Politik #Demokratie (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that a misunderstanding in an article about his turbulent experiences with the car rental company Sixt in Mallorca had sparked speculation about his relationship. Since the article initially referred to his girlfriend and later to his wife, many readers assumed that he was vacationing with both women. Boeminghaus clarified that he had been in Mallorca with Elvira, who is both his wife and his girlfriend, as well as the mother of his daughter. He jokingly dismissed the idea that he was in an open marriage and noted that some might consider his situation nowadays to be conservative or even "far-right." He wrote that a damaged driver's license had nearly turned into a relationship scandal. #Mallorca #Sixt #Beziehung (translated)

During protests in France, the same people suddenly discovered their preference for "Law & Order," according to their portrayal. Voermann called this double standards and a political business model. https://t.co/OqfrgyjwsR #Doppelmoral #Politik #Proteste (translated)
