    Cultural and media affairs will be steered by Wolfram Weimer, a well-known journalist and publisher

    Meme of Axel Springer awarding a medal to Axel Springer

    (The guy used to be editor in chief of Welt, which belongs to the same infamous Axel Springer publishing house as Politico)

    Just so everyone knows what kind of guy this is, I’ll just go and translate a direct quote of his from 2018, that is found on his German Wikipedia article:

    The term “climate denier” has been used by red-green (note: this refers to Social Democrats and the Green party) people for years to stigmatize people that dare to doubt the theory of man-made climate change in its claim to be absolute. Thee term “climate denier” is meant to kill open discussion because it is reminiscent of “Holocaust denier”.
