Do you want more political ads using Russian made by persons who worked in Russian political institutions? I would probably not write this comment if the ad included Ukrainian. But after 4 years of war, putting Russian on a poster celebrating Berlin's diversity while omitting Ukrainian is politically loaded, whether that was intended or not.

Thanks for the comment. That is in fact a terrible mistake.

Thank you for plugging StimmlosTrend and Wahlheymat. We have a bunch of volunteers and members working very hard on this, and we've managed to translate our survey into Arabic and Turkish, I'm told. According to the stats, it looks like this thing is getting momentum. There will be a write up in the Berliner Morgenpost, once we have had a chance to process the data coming in. So look for that. We're just waiting on another update on August 30th.

"at the bequest of SPD parliamentarian"

Bequest means something totally different. I think you meant request :)

Oops! Slip of the keyboard! Thanks.

“The state IT system is very large,” Hauer said. “We are surprised how large it is.”

Reminds me of ‘Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated’. What a clown.

Yeah, he's a lawyer with the usual CDU trajectory. Why didn't they get an actual IT administrator?
