Potsdam, Lord Mayor Mike Schubert, City Hall Press Officer Mike Brunzlow and 55 euros for three minutes
The press often reports on blatant incompetence, scandals in public authorities and a whinnying trotting horse of an officialdom. These reports are often for the benefit and advantage of the general public. The Brandenburg Press Law (Brandenburgisches Landespressegesetz - BbgPG), of 13 May 1993, states under paragraph 3 on the subject: Public task of the press: "The press fulfils a public task in particular by procuring and disseminating news, commenting, criticising or otherwise contributing to the free formation of individual and public opinion. In this respect, it fundamentally protects legitimate interests within the meaning of section 193 of the Criminal Code."

Mass murderers: Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong and Putin
Kremlin tyrant Vladimir Putin (69), after stealing Western planes and hundreds of thousands of tonnes of Ukrainian grain, is an anti-social thief who is making a grab for the next Ukrainian raw material - steel - including from the famous Azov steelworks in Mariupol.The CEO of the largest Ukrainian steel company Metinvest has accused Russia of stealing steel worth a staggering 600 million dollars (approx. 587 million euros) from plants and ports in Ukraine, without any consideration, just typically in the manner of the Russians, who since the start of the terrorist war against peaceful Ukraine, are despised more and more every day on our planet!Metinvest boss Yuriy Ryzhenkov said that thousands of tonnes of steel were brought to Russia and sold on there. This is despite the fact that some of it is also destined for European customers, including some in the UK - so has already been paid for by them."They are not only stealing our products, but also some of the products that already belong to European customers. So basically they are not only stealing from us, but also from the Europeans," Ryzhenkov said in an interview on the matter, according to information from BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG.After three months of massive Russian attacks, Mariupol fell to the terrorist state of Russia in May after a heroic struggle. In the process, more than 300 employees and 200 relatives of employees were murdered by the Russians in attacks on the Azovstal plant.
Массовые убийцы: Гитлер, Ленин, Сталин, Мао Цзэдун и Путин
Кремлевский тиран Владимир Путин (69), украв западные самолеты и сотни тысяч тонн украинского зерна, является антисоциальным вором, который пытается захватить следующее украинское сырье - сталь, в том числе со знаменитого Азовского металлургического завода в Мариуполе.Генеральный директор крупнейшей украинской металлургической компании "Метинвест" обвинил Россию в краже стали на ошеломляющую сумму в 600 миллионов долларов (около 587 миллионов евро) с заводов и портов Украины, без всякого разбора, просто типично в манере русских, которых с начала террористической войны против мирной Украины с каждым днем все больше и больше презирают на нашей планете!Руководитель Метинвеста Юрий Рыженков сказал, что тысячи тонн стали были привезены в Россию и проданы там. И это несмотря на то, что часть из них предназначена для европейских потребителей, в том числе и для Великобритании, и уже оплачена ими."Они воруют не только нашу продукцию, но и некоторые продукты, которые уже принадлежат европейским клиентам. Так что, по сути, они воруют не только у нас, но и у европейцев", - сказал Рыженков в интервью по этому вопросу, по информации BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG.После трех месяцев массированных российских атак Мариуполь в мае после героической борьбы пал перед террористическим государством России. В процессе этого более 300 сотрудников и 200 родственников сотрудников были убиты русскими во время нападений на завод "Азовсталь".Перед лицом этих преступлений, то, что военный преступник и массовый убийца был приглашен президентом Индонезии Джоко Видодо на саммит G20, является моральной дерзостью!Нельзя вести переговоры с Путиным и Россией как государством-изгоем и уж тем более нельзя позволять шантажировать себя военным преступником, как это сейчас пытается сделать Путин, украв сотни тысяч тонн в надежде вызвать убийственный голод в Африке!
