This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law. It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.
Gestern gedachten wir der Befreiung von Pétange vor 80 Jahren und ehrten den ersten US-Soldaten, der im Kampf gegen das Nazi-Regime in Luxemburg fiel, Hyman Josefson.
Die Erinnerung an unsere Vergangenheit ist heute wichtiger denn je.

In 🇩🇪 we have some experience in dealing with #coalition and #MinorityGovernment. Naturally, it is difficult to translate the experience of one country to another. Still, there may be some lessons that might be useful to share. - @AmbPeschke

Today is Holocaust remembrance day. I went to @yadvashem 's iremember-wall and was paired with Moshe Rikover. I sat down to draw his portrait, because this allows me to spend some time imagining what he was like and pay a small tribute. #WeRemember

Was man für die kommende Woche wissen sollte:
Wer sich in den letzten Jahren mit Extremismus und Radikalisierung beschäftigt hat, der macht sich mit Blick auf die geplanten Protestaktionen Sorgen. 🧵
