Communal CDU and AfD politicians apparently cooperating to have no further Stolpersteine in their town, which commemorate victims of the Nazi regime. I would not have been surprised by the cooperation as such, but on this topic...?

And this is exactly the kind of analysis we should consider for Germany, too, not the Guardian' and Economist's musing about whether we should finally have a coalition govt with the AfD and whether the firewall is to blame for their success.

Rather annoyed about this analysis by the @theguardian.com: it doesn't even consider that the AfD may be so successful in Germany not bc the firewall was implemented, but bc it wasn't sufficiently implemented, with the CDU taking over their talking-points. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...
theguardian.com
Germany’s firewall was meant to hold the far right at bay. It may have done the reverse
An AfD win in ​next month’s state election in Saxony-Anhalt would shatter a decades-long political consensus and reverberate throughout the EU

Die Bundesregierung will per Gesetz eine Vergesellschaftung von Wohnungen unterbinden. Das widerspricht den Möglichkeiten, die Art. 15 Grundgesetz bietet. Dass die SPD dies mitträgt ist historisch bemerkenswert: Denn die SPD machte damals ihre Zustimmung zum Grundgesetz von Art. 15 GG abhängig.

Wahlkampf in Sachsen - Christian Pudack, der einzige Kandidat für die Oberbürgermeisterwahl in Freiberg, der sich klar von Rechtsextremen abgrenzt, erhält öffentliche Morddrohungen. Ich wundere mich sehr über die mediale Stille dazu. 1/2
Das Bild zeigt ein Wahlkampfbanner von Christian Pudack, einem Kandidaten für das Amt des Oberbürgermeisters von Freiburg. Das Banner ist an einer Bauzaun-Plane befestigt und zeigt ein Porträt von Pudack mit dem Slogan "GEMEINSAM ZUKUNFT MACHEN". Das Bild ist mit Graffiti versehen: "KOPF SCHUB" ist darüber gesprüht, und das Gesicht des Kandidaten ist mit einem Zielscheibensymbol versehen. Der Hintergrund zeigt eine Straße und etwas Grün.
