Saxony-Anhalt Gov. Sven Schulze of the Christian Democratic Union criticized the initiative. He noted that the resolution did not mention Russian aggression, even though Russia shells Ukrainian cities daily. Schulze said the AfD and BSW wanted to deprive Ukraine of the ability to defend itself. The state government will decide how to proceed after further discussion.

Get your shit together Germany.

    This report is borderline disinformation, of the kind Russia likes to boost.

    This was a meaningless vote on a matter that this institution has no say over and that us not even supported by the local government. It is jzst the best, Russia’s peopke coukd do in the local assembly.

    Its purpose is exclusively to spread the headline OP helped spreading.

        This is literally what Germany did not do. Have you even read the article? Is media competence that poor already that we even have to debate that? This would explain a lot about our post factual society

            This is kindergarten. How old are you? Read that article and try to understand it, form an argument, if you can.

            “Germany” did absolutely nothing, its foreign policy is the same as before that consequence free show vote by the Putin block in a single Bundesland which did nothing but create some propaganda headlines for the Russian cause.

                You still fail to even understand that Sachsen-Anhalt is not “Germany”. That is like saying that a vote of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on something that legislature has no competence on is the official policy of Canada, even though the government of Alberta opposes that vote.

                It is mind boggling, really.

                  No bro, you picked this turn of phrase I used by saying “Germany did” as a conversational simplification and are hyperfocusing on it to try to discredit my point which clearly gets under your skin.

                  I am well aware Sachsen-Anhalt is not all of Germany.

                  …and yet this is still at the end of the day something Germany did and German society created, don’t try to disown the fascism in your own backyard by minimizing the connection of your identity to it.

                    That is not hyper focusing, what you are misleading and plain false. Words mean something. Germany’s foreign policy is made in Berlin, not in Sachsen-Anhalt. Sachsen- Anhalt does not have a foreign policy and does not make one.

                    What the legislature of Sachsen-Anhalt was voting has no backing in any other Bundesland. The podition if Germany is actually the opposite. Your disinformation is trying to paint another picture.
