Annalena Baerbock hat nach einem Jahr das Präsidentinnenamt der UN-Generalversammlung turnusgemäß abgegeben. In New York übergab sie den Zeremonienhammer symbolisch an ihren Nachfolger, Bangladeschs Außenminister Khalilur Rahman. Dieser wird nun für ebenfalls ein Jahr der Generalversammlung der 193 UN-Mitgliedsländer vorstehen.

In ihrer Abschiedsrede sagte die Grünen-Politikerin, sie verlasse die Vereinten Nationen »mit gemischten Gefühlen«. Fast 81 Jahre nach der Gründung stünde heute kein Land der Welt besser dar, wenn es die UN nicht gäbe, sagte Baerbock und bezog sich damit auf »all jene da draußen, die behaupten, die UNO sei irrelevant oder würde versagen«. Gleichzeitig herrsche in der Organisation ein dringender Reformbedarf.

Merz remains skeptical about the AfD ban process despite the election victory in Saxony-Anhalt

After the AfD election victory in Saxony-Anhalt, Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed skepticism about a possible party ban and emphasized that such a procedure represents a high hurdle and does not solve the underlying problem. Instead, he advocated a political debate with the AfD, while Hendrik Wüst suggested an open-ended working group from the federal and state governments to examine further dealings with the party.
