👔 Mayor

Tübingen's Mayor Boris Palmer is facing intense criticism and pressure following new accusations of sexual harassment. The allegations are drawing significant attention across the country. In national politics, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU) have agreed to back Ilse Aigner, President of the Landtag of Bavaria, as their candidate for the German presidency. This move comes with indications of support from the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as well. Meanwhile, leaked internal documents from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) reveal long-standing concerns within the party regarding radicalization and power struggles. Other domestic news includes a fatal small plane crash on the A2 highway in Saxony-Anhalt, resulting in two deaths. Additionally, a Jewish student union has demanded an apology from Alliance 90/The Greens Member of the Bundestag Claudia Roth for statements concerning German guilt, and a trial related to Schlesinger has commenced, with proceedings against her husband concluded upon payment.
