Germany commemorates its inaugural Veterans Day with events in Berlin and across the nation, marking a significant shift in recognizing its history with the armed forces. This day coincides with the unveiling of a memorial for victims of Nazi occupation in Poland. Additionally, political tensions arose in parliament as President Julia Klockner criticized the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Left Party for leveraging parliamentary discussions for social media notoriety instead of serious discourse. Bayern Munich also begins their Club World Cup campaign in the U.S.
"We have a strengthened Left Party and a strengthened AfD in parliament who seem to need each other to serve their respective constituencies on TikTok and other platforms," said Bundestagsprasidentin Klockner. "The floor [of parliament] is not a stage on which to produce content for digital media. This is where we confront each other using words."
Germany is marking its first ever Veterans Day with events across the country, marking a new step in recognizing its complex relationship with its armed forces.
