Lex Hoogduin wrote that he believed change was possible, but not in the way that the cabinet and the left envisioned. He advocated for a peaceful classical-liberal revolution with a smaller government, fewer rules, bureaucracy, and civil servants. According to him, the government should free citizens and protect their property, while reducing the tax burden and maintaining a limited safety net for people who faced real setbacks. He also argued for space for a revival of an independent civil society outside of the state, with communities in various fields. #liberalisme #overheid #belasting (translated)

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)

Regina Laska wrote that Henry Lindo had sent her a screenshot in the morning, in which Russia complained about Ukrainian hacker groups. The name "LASKA" had also appeared in it, which jokingly led her to check her intelligence connections. According to Laska, her namesakes were working with the Ukrainian military intelligence and, according to their information, had significantly weakened Russia's defense industry and obtained important information. Kyrylo Budanov awarded them the Bohdan Khmelnytskyi Order of the 3rd Class for this. The announcement was dated March 4, 2025, her 60th birthday, she wrote. Laska noted that "Láska" means love in Czech. She added jokingly that her future complaints about Putin should be treated with caution before asking Moneypenny for coffee. #Laska #Ukraine #Russland (translated)

Claudia van Zanten wrote that the VVD, just like D66 earlier, was seeking conflict with Israel and provoking a war with Russia. She wondered whether the party would soon also come into conflict with the United States. Van Zanten reproached the VVD for not standing up for hard-working Dutch citizens, targeting small savers, not providing financial stability, and doing nothing about the influx of asylum seekers. According to her, voters, departing members, and prominent figures were fed up with the party's and the cabinet's direction. https://t.co/Ut9DHCrph1 #Nederland #politiek #oorlog (translated)
