Sharing a translation from the German because it's so important:
"62% of Germans are afraid of the AfD. They fear that the party will destroy democracy. But almost all major parties only serve the (oversized and fictitious) concerns of 24% AfD voters. The concerns of the Germans are NOT taken seriously. They're being reinforced."

Perhaps the Biggest Winner in #GermanElections: #NuclearPower
The victorious #conservatives and the surging #FarRight both are big fans.
Alexander C. Kaufman, February 27, 2025
"Nuclear energy may be the big winner.
"Europe’s largest economy shuttered its last reactors two years ago in what was meant to be an irreversible exit from atomic energy. But surging energy prices and electricity demand are driving calls to revive Germany’s nuclear power industry.
"As the victorious Christian Democratic Union (#CDU) and its sister party in Bavaria, the Christian Social Union, wrote in their party manifesto, 'We are resolved to stick with the nuclear energy option, counting on research on nuclear energy in its 4th and 5th generation, small modular reactors, and fusion reactors. We are assessing the resumption of operation of the recently-shut-down nuclear power plants.'"

The article at top of this thread lists many examples of silencing by @germany
Your recollection may hint at an earlier incident:
#Oyoun, a migrant-led cultural center, refused to give in to political pressure and cancel the 20-year anniversary event of the Jewish anti-Zionist group Jüdische Stimme in November 2023. #Berlin’s Culture Minister #JoeChialo ended the center’s contract with the city government, effectively shuttering Oyoun.
They announced: “This decision feels like more than just a closure; it resembles the setting of a precedent that all state-funded institutions may now fear. The implications are far-reaching, impacting the very essence of artistic freedom and expression.”

Flippin’ heck, the last two days my email has come under a storm of junk mail, mostly originating in the USA or for US ‘products’.
Did someone press a button somewhere?
