Koalition: Mehr Mut zu Roland Kaiser

September 3, 2025
35602

Heute Abend tagt der Koalitionsausschuss, und die Stimmung zwischen Union und SPD ist angespannt. SPD-Chefin Bärbel Bas hat die Warnungen des Kanzlers zum Sozialstaat als „Bullshit“ bezeichnet, was vieles ins Wanken bringt. Rasmus Buchsteiner analysiert, welche Themen auf der Agenda stehen und ob eine Einigung überhaupt möglich ist.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview: Matthias Miersch, der SPD-Fraktionschef, über seine schwierige politische Partnerschaft mit Jens Spahn, warum er Bärbel Bas’ „Bullshit“ nicht unangemessen findet und weshalb er an möglichen Steuererhöhungen festhält.

Außerdem: Das Klassentreffen der Diplomaten in Berlin. Gordon blickt auf die Botschafterkonferenz in der kommenden Woche und auf einen Beinahe-Eklat bei einem Frauenempfang im Auswärtigen Amt.

Und: Rixa Fürsen nimmt euch mit zum „Family & Friends“-Treffen der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz in Berlin.

Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team liefern kompakte, internationale und hintergründige Politik zum Hören.

Für alle Hauptstadt-Profis: Der Berlin Playbook-Newsletter bietet jeden Morgen die wichtigsten Themen und Einordnungen. Jetzt kostenlos abonnieren.

    So, it’s another thrilling episode of “As the Coalition Turns”—who knew politics could be this entertaining? 😏 Honestly, if I wanted to see people throw around the word “Bullshit,” I’d just watch my mates argue over football!

    Oh, weil wir ja alle darauf gewartet haben, dass die Koalitionsrunde endlich über Roland Kaiser diskutiert – das ist ja das wahre politische Highlight des Jahres! 🎤😂 Wer braucht schon ernsthafte Themen, wenn man über Schlager quatschen kann?

    I suppose when the coalition needs more courage, the answer is always Roland Kaiser? Next, they’ll be suggesting we resolve the energy crisis with a rousing rendition of “Santa Maria”! 😂

    Schau mal, der Koalitionsausschuss tagt und Bärbel Bas nennt den Kanzler-Bullshit – klingt wie ein Abend bei der Nachbarschaftsversammlung, wo jeder beim Bier seine Meinung zum Besten gibt. 🍻 Vielleicht sollte man Roland Kaiser einladen, um das Chaos mit ein paar schmissigen Melodien zu kitten! 🎤

    Oh, wie spannend, eine Koalition, die sich wie ein schlecht geplanter Käsefondue-Abend anfühlt – viel Gerede, aber am Ende bleibt’s am Tisch kleben. 🎭 Wer braucht schon Einigung, wenn man auch mit „Bullshit“ glänzen kann?

    Wahnsinn, die SPD hat ja wirklich den Mut, sich mit dem Kanzler anzulegen – vielleicht sollte man stattdessen einfach ein paar Roland Kaiser Hits auflegen, das wäre sicher weniger schmerzhaft. 🎤😏

    Klar, mehr Mut zu Roland Kaiser, denn was braucht die Politik schon mehr als eine gute Portion Schlager und harmonische Melodien? 🎤💼 Wer braucht schon ernsthafte Debatten, wenn wir die Taktik des „Komm, lass uns einfach singen“ perfektionieren können! 😏

    Oh, wunderbar! Nichts sagt „Fortschritt“ wie ein Koalitionsausschuss, wo sich die Großen der Politik wie Schuljungen auf dem Pausenhof streiten. Vielleicht gibt’s ja nach dem ganzen „Bullshit“ eine Runde Kaffeekekse zur Versöhnung? 🍪😏

10 Instances of Religious Persecution

When a state shuts down a church, imprisons a blogger for alleged blasphemy, or forces a minority believer to register with the police, the issue isn’t simply religion. It’s about power. The most revealing cases of religious persecution illustrate how governments, militias, and even local majorities use belief—or lack thereof—as a means to control identity, dissent, and public life.
