💛🖤 Love Dynamo. Hate Racism. When I fled Iraq at the age of ten and arrived in Plauen, football gave me a sense of belonging, helped me meet people, and taught me the language and culture. My coach at the time not only supported me on the pitch but also helped me with my homework. He showed me what solidarity means. Football unites – regardless of origin, religion, or language. That's why "LOVE DYNAMO – HATE RACISM" is more than just a day of action. It's an attitude we live by every day in our club and our community. For diversity, respect, and a society free from racism. Thank you @sgdynamodresden @01099official Stiftung Frauenkirche and many more 💛🖤 #LoveDynamoHateRacism #AgainstRacism

I spoke with @freiepresse.de @annelenam about my hometown of Plauen and weekends on the football pitch, West Germans in politics, the East, and mental health. The result is a long profile – in print and online. 📰

According to the latest research by Die Zeit, CDU members of parliament have allegedly promised AfD members that they will vote for the AfD candidate. Where is the uproar? @merzcdu @cdu

My first Oktoberfest. The things you do to prevent remigration! 😅 #Oktoberfest #Wiesn #Munich

🇩🇪 German Unity Day in Mödlareuth. Hardly any place embodies the division of Germany and the reunification of our country as vividly as Mödlareuth – a village through which the inner-German border ran for decades. All the more special, then, to be on stage together today at the Democracy Festival: with my colleague @badumlisa from Bavaria, @heiknopf from Thuringia, and myself from Saxony – practically a little tri-border region. 💚 And of course, I was especially pleased to have support from back home: Fiatelle from Dresden was also there and really got the crowd going. 🎺🎶 A huge thank you goes to the many associations, initiatives, and organizations that made this Democracy Festival possible – and who dedicate themselves not just today, but every single day to our democracy, diversity, and harmonious coexistence. This commitment is anything but a given and deserves our support. @coloridoplauen Thanks also to @kai_schumann_official and @this_maag_official for moderating and guiding us through this special day. October 3rd reminds us: Freedom and democracy are not something to be taken for granted. Many courageous people fought for them – especially in eastern Germany. Today, it is up to all of us to protect them and bring them to life. 36 years of German unity. Let's celebrate what unites us – and let's continue working to make our country grow together. 🇩🇪💚

Democracy thrives on dialogue and exchange across party lines. 💬🗳️ For International Democracy Day, my Bundestag colleague Markus Reichel (CDU) and I visited the @gymnasium.johannstadt in #Dresden. We spoke with students in grades 7 through 10 about direct democracy, our work in the Bundestag, and the role of members of parliament. It's important for young people to experience that democratic debate and differing political positions are part of life, but that they can be conducted respectfully and on equal footing. Thank you to the students for their open and critical questions and for the invitation! 🙏🏽

On September 29th, seven Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) were laid in front of the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden. They commemorate the exclusion and persecution of Jewish employees by the National Socialists. Here in Saxony, many people are committed to keeping the memory of the victims of the Nazi regime visible.
