According to his assessment, Putin would have no reason to stop at the Ukrainian border, but could also threaten Georgia, Moldova, or the Baltic states.

Christian Abel wrote that the AfD parliamentary group presented its own budget concept with 1,051 amendments after the budget session for the federal budget 2027. The fiscal policy spokesman Michael Espendiller criticized the government’s plan as being associated with more debt, taxes, and burdens for taxpayers. According to Abel, the government planned expenditures of 675.7 billion euros and new debts of 210.5 billion euros. The interest costs were expected to rise from around 41.5 billion euros in 2027 to about 81 billion euros in 2030, according to the financial plan. The AfD aims to relieve citizens and companies by 43.8 billion euros in taxes and duties, among other things, through the abolition of the CO₂ price and lower taxes. For a single employee with a gross annual income of 36,000 euros, the annual relief is estimated at 660 euros, and for a family with two children and a gross income of 70,000 euros at 1,535 euros. For financing, the concept, according to Abel, includes the dissolution of two special assets, lower EU payments, cuts in defense spending, and the cessation of payments and arms deliveries to Ukraine. In addition, the AfD wants to abolish the Ministry of Development and allocate 5 billion euros for a municipal financial program. Overall, their budget would incur about 147 billion euros less in new debt than the government draft; however, the planned net borrowing would still amount to 63 billion euros, Abel wrote. https://t.co/39KcOldj4X💙🇩🇪 #AfD #Bundeshaushalt #Steuersenkungen (translated)

According to his account, this is neither about nuclear power plants, which Germany does not have, nor about bombs, which are not wanted for the time being, but about British nuclear submarines and a new generation. #Uran #Atomenergie #Bundesregierung #GB (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann recalled the attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015. She wrote that several attackers had struck in the name of Islam; the attacks lasted more than four hours and resulted in 130 fatalities as well as nearly 700 injuries. According to Kussmann, the attacks began at the Stade de France, where two attackers attempted to enter the stadium. Subsequently, attackers opened fire in bars and restaurants, including at the La Belle Équipe bar. About half an hour after the first attack, two assailants stormed the Bataclan during a concert by the Eagles of Death Metal. There, 89 people were killed; the police intervened at 12:50 AM. Kussmann wrote that ISIS later claimed responsibility for the attacks. Some attackers had come to Europe disguised as refugees; the alleged bomb maker had briefly stayed in Ulm with two other attackers. Additionally, she recounted reports from survivors who spoke of gunfire, hostage-taking, and the police operation at the Bataclan. #ParisAttentate #Gedenken #Terrorismus (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki wrote that attempts to intimidate journalists were directed not only against individual media but against democracy and the rule of law. He explained that he did not expect such a persistent climate of violence against media professionals to arise. In his estimation, left-wing violent offenders were becoming increasingly unrestrained; it apparently also contributed to the fact that their parliamentary arm wanted to take over the Berlin Senate. #Journalismus #Demokratie #Pressefreiheit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that Volkswagen had earned only 12 euros per vehicle sold after nine months in 2026. Citing a study by the Center of Automotive Management, he explained that special expenses of 8.7 billion euros had nearly squeezed the profit margin to zero; after adjustments, it had amounted to 3.8 percent. According to Boeminghaus, the average return of the automakers studied had dropped from 4 to 3.6 percent, with two-thirds of the companies reporting profit declines. Mercedes had earned 4,198 euros per vehicle, BMW 3,059 euros; the industry average had been 1,363 euros. According to study leader Stefan Bratzel, the profits had fallen almost six times more than the revenues. Boeminghaus interpreted the figures as an indication of the pressure on Volkswagen's earnings capacity and the need to improve the cost structure. He cited DER SPIEGEL as the source. https://t.co/pc34fdykFC #Volkswagen #Automobilindustrie #Gewinnkrise (translated)
