On 4 May 2026, at 08:00, three parties in the German Bundestag post on X almost simultaneously. The text differs by exactly one word.
Greens in the Bundestag (@GrueneB…):
“X has descended into chaos in recent years. Political debates thrive on exchange that reaches and informs people. X, however, increasingly promotes disinformation. That is why we will no longer use this account.”
The leader of Germany’s Social Democratic Party, Bärbel Bas, on Sandra Maischberger’s talk show this week:
“People no longer know what we stand for.”
We’re happy to help, Ms. Bas. Here is the list.
On February 18, 2023, Alexander Soros posted a photo on Instagram and X. It shows him with Lars Klingbeil, then chairman of Germany’s Social Democratic Party (SPD), now Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Finance of the Federal Republic of Germany.
On March 19, 2026, Der Spiegel published a cover story about Collien Fernandes and digital violence. On the same day, Federal Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD) announced a new law. That evening, Fernandes and Hubig sat together on Caren Miosga’s ARD show.
