- Lindholz says interactions in Parliament have become markedly harsher during this legislative term and sometimes personally hurtful.
- Of 630 lawmakers, she says the clear majority behaves appropriately; some members of extremist parties deliberately provoke for social media.
- Women from various parliamentary groups have reported insecurity; she perceives particularly less respect from the AfD during women’s speeches.
- When AfD lawmaker Martin Reichardt was fined, Lindholz said enough was enough; she sees no insight among those involved.
But when speaking for TikTok, Instagram and other social media channels is put at the forefront, then a good and healthy culture of debate suffers.— Andrea Lindholz, CSU, Vice President of the Bundestag, in a ZDFheute interview about the parliament's climate and the impact of social media on debate

- Interior Minister Dobrindt finds the latest intelligence report insufficient to justify banning the AfD party.

- The AfD remains under suspicion until the Cologne administrative court rules, with the report currently withheld from publication.
- The intelligence service records a nearly 25% rise in right-wing extremists, totaling over 50,000 individuals.
Anyone who believes that one can win legally against the AfD and its agitation will experience a rude awakening.— Federal Minister of the Interior Alexander Dobrindt warns against an AfD ban procedure and emphasizes the risks of such an approach.
