Green Party leader Lang: AfD is an extension of the Kremlin in Germany
Quick Glance: AfD-Russia Money Affair: Party Leadership Backs Bystron
  • AfD MP Petr Bystron is questioned by the party's federal board regarding allegations of receiving money from the Putin circle. Bystron denies the accusations and receives support from the party leadership.

  • Bystron is suspected of receiving money in cash in Prague or through cryptocurrencies. The Bundestag administration and the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office are investigating the allegations. Bystron has denied the reports in contradictory wordings.

  • Despite the accusations, the federal board emphasizes Bystron's innocence and requests evidence. Internal discussions on sanctions do not lead to immediate actions, as the list for the European elections cannot be changed.

  • While some party colleagues trust Bystron, others find his behavior untrustworthy. Bystron himself feels validated by the support of the federal board and accuses the Czech government of a conspiracy.

Quick Glance: Green Party Power Struggle Emerges Over Chancellor Question
  • The Greens are facing a power struggle over who will be the lead candidate in the next election, after Annalena Baerbock scored 14.8% in the 2021 federal election despite higher poll numbers.

  • The question of the chancellor candidate is settled within the SPD, but a battle is brewing within the Greens between Baerbock and Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, who once stepped aside for her.

  • Habeck is actively vying to become the chancellor candidate and believes he is capable of winning the office, especially after Baerbock's stumbles in the last election campaign.

  • The Greens aim to make a decision on the chancellor candidate by the end of the year, with prominent supporters like parliamentary leader Britta Haßelmann and Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann backing the candidates.

Quick Glance: Dispute over Hunting Trophies: Botswana Offers Germany 20,000 Elephants
  • In reaction to a proposed EU regulation on hunting trophies of protected species, Botswana's President offers Germany 20,000 elephants.

  • Botswana, hosting the largest elephant population in Africa, faces concerns of overpopulation. A hunting ban was lifted, and now 20,000 elephants are planned to be sent to Germany.

  • The President emphasizes the necessity of regulating the elephant population through hunting and insists they should live in the wild in Germany.

  • Botswana, recognized as a model democracy, invites the German minister to assess wildlife conservation firsthand. The logistical challenge of transporting 20,000 elephants over 8,000 kilometers is discussed.

Quick Glance: FDP and SPD Reach Agreement on Key Issues
  • SPD and FDP have reached compromises on key issues, including the extension of the rent control measure until 2029 and the 'Quick-Freeze' data storage procedure.

  • Despite additional desired changes in rental law, no specific agreements have been made, raising concerns about the housing market.

  • The 'Quick-Freeze' data storage procedure is implemented in cases of suspicion of serious crimes, marking a departure from indiscriminate mass data storage and receiving positive reactions.

  • The next steps involve drafting proposals in the Federal Ministry of Justice for data storage and the extension of the rent control measure, which are likely to be approved by the cabinet simultaneously.
