Christlich und Sozial? Von Wegen!
Europa hat heute verloren.

Die Konservativen haben zusammen mit der extremen Rechten gestimmt und den Schutz vor Kinderarbeit und Umweltzerstörung verwässert.

Manfred Weber hat dieses Bündnis ermöglicht.

Ein Preis, den Europas Demokratie teuer zahlen wird.

"Die SPD steht an einem Scheideweg: Will sie eine sozialdemokratische Asylpolitik, die Schutz, Würde und Recht verteidigt – oder eine, die humanitäre Prinzipien der Regierungsräson opfert?"

Die Frage ist richtig gestellt, von einem Sozialdemokraten.
Leider steht die Antwort aber auch schon fest.

Die Bundesregierung knickt mit dem Geas-Gesetz vor der europäischen Abschottung ein. Dass die SPD das mitträgt, ist ein politischer Bruch. Ein Gastbeitrag von Aziz Bozkurt.

„Mamdani won with higher turnout than any mayor’s race in fifty years. At a time when leading figures in the Democratic Party seem practically complicit in the abuses and outrages of the Trump era, Mamdani offered his supporters an unsullied message of hope.“

His opponents tried to smear him for his youth, inexperience, and leftist politics. But New Yorkers didn’t want a hardened political insider to be mayor—they wanted Zohran Mamdani.
