Systematic manipulation - Hundreds of thousands are cheated out of minimum wage
The new federal government has been arguing about how much the minimum wage should increase since the coalition negotiations. Currently, all workers 18 and older are entitled to at least €12.82 gross per hour – with a few exceptions. Nevertheless, hundreds of thousands of eligible workers receive less pay for their work. Not only through illegal work, but also through the manipulation of documents and employment relationships. Fearing for their jobs, some affected individuals even actively participate in the fraud.
- Missing, incorrect or incomplete records of working hours
- Standby or preparation times as well as empty journeys are not counted as working time, contrary to labor law
- False designation of employees as interns, trainees or self-employed

Why did the head of the Bundeswehr planning staff meet with the right-wing radical Azov commander Romanov?
On May 8th, of all days, the head of the Planning and Command Staff of the Federal Minister of Defense, Major General Christian Freuding, met with Azov commander Oleg Romanov and posed for a photo with him in field uniform. Romanov and his unit, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, are known for regularly glorifying the Waffen-SS Division "Galicia" – and to this day, on his Instagram channel, he openly displays his tattoos with Nazi references, including the Black Sun, propagated by the Waffen-SS and consisting of three superimposed swastikas. Against this background, NachDenkSeiten wanted to know the motivation behind this meeting and whether there are any guidelines for Bundeswehr officers dealing with Azov representatives, bearing in mind their right-wing extremist tradition.

Federal government sees no problem with combat training for German neo-Nazis by Ukrainian army
The "German Volunteer Corps" (DFK), which recruits primarily from the milieu of the neo-Nazi party "The Third Way," was recently officially integrated into the Ukrainian army, specifically into the 49th "Carpathian Sich" Assault Battalion. The integration of the volunteer corps into the official structures of the Ukrainian army brings with it access to Western weapons and training according to NATO standards. Against this backdrop, NachDenkSeiten wanted to know whether Chancellor Merz is concerned that dozens of violent German neo-Nazis are now being trained by the Ukrainian army and supplied with US- and EU-made weapons, and whether Kyiv informed the German government of this step. The "response" will surprise even die-hard DFK viewers.

Brexit, or the freedom I never wanted
23 June 2016 was a big day. On that day, almost 52 per cent of all English people voted for freedom. They voted to leave the European Union. Charlatans like the still-active Nigel Farage had promised the people that leaving would save the country a lot of money every day and that it would flourish once it finally broke free from the shackles of Brussels bureaucracy and joined forces with other nations around the world in free trade. Nationalists and libertarians in all European countries rejoiced at this magnificent victory of reason over the compulsion to cooperate internationally and painted a rosy picture of Britain’s future.
