- The SPD stands at 12 percent in current INSA and Forsa polls, while a single-digit result is looming for the upcoming state election in Saxony-Anhalt.
- Miersch said the debate over retirement after 45 contribution years had to be conducted in a differentiated manner, citing transitional rules, protection of legitimate expectations and a safeguard pension.
- Rosenfeld saw a leadership crisis and named Manuela Schwesig as a possible party leader, while Miersch pointed to 85 percent of members approving the coalition agreement.
- Lanz presented the citizens’ benefit scheme as a reason for rising AfD support, Miersch defended changing it, and Sundermeyer pointed to what he called massive welfare abuse and the AfD’s presence in everyday life.
And now you come around the corner like St. Martin and say: 'We'll do away with it again, and that is now a good thing'.— Markus Lanz, host of the Markus Lanz show, during the discussion with SPD politician Matthias Miersch

- More than two years after the attack, no date has been set; according to the local court, the judge is trying to coordinate dates with the defense lawyers.
- Ecke was attacked in Dresden on May 3, 2024, while putting up European election posters, suffering cheekbone and eye-socket fractures among other injuries; a Green politician nearby was also assaulted.
- In January 2025, prosecutors indicted three young men: two on two counts of dangerous bodily harm and the third for aiding the offense.
- After a change of jurisdiction in November 2025 and the rejection of a complaint against denying Ecke co-plaintiff status, the files have been back with the youth judge since late May, and the court says there is no deadline for setting dates.
