    Ringo Mühlmann has repeatedly asked the regional government to disclose intricate details on subjects such as local drone defenses and Western arms transports to Ukraine.

    Extremely detailed and intricate:

    “What information does the state government have about the extent of military transit transports through Thuringia since 2022 (broken down by year, type of transport [road, rail], number of transits, and known stops)?”

    One day in June, Mühlmann filed eight inquiries related to drones and the drone defense capabilities of the region’s police, who are responsible for detecting and fending off drones deemed a spy threat.

    “What technical systems for drone defense are known to the Thuringian police (e.g., jammers, net launchers, electromagnetic pulse devices), and to what extent have these been tested for their usability in law enforcement?”

    Of course the AfD is denying everything, but the accusations are justified, considering they have been linked to Russian money several times.

      But just like in Germany in the 1930s or with the US’ GOP more recently conservatives will always protect far-right lunatics as allegedly useful tools. Up the the point when they get eaten up by these radicals and then all neatly fall in line.

    “It is not up to me to limit my questions, but up to the minister to provide the answers,” he said. “If at some point such an answer poses a danger or leads to espionage, then the espionage is not my fault, but the minister’s, because he has disclosed information that he should not have disclosed.”

    So he’s admitting that he’s untrustworthy? Because why else would it not be his fault if not because he is well-known to be untrustworthy?

      This is just lawyer-gooblytalk, and it ruins our whole democracy at the moment. “If it is not illegal, I can do whatever I want. Should I? Probably not, but it’s not illegal, so it’s your fault if something happens”.
