1. Here in Hessen (central Germany)....a strawberry 'emergency' is coming up. Lot of farmers who prepared for the season....are shocked at customers skipping their product. Chief reason cited? Prices in the first week or two....shocked a lot of German customers, and strawberry 'hype' dropped like a rock.
2. Japan is discussing the idea of attending a NATO summit. There are forty ways to read into this, but some people are suggesting that perhaps Japan (another nation or two in the Pacific) might be of the mindset to apply for membership.
3. Some arguments popping up between the SPD, Greens and FDP....over the potential Covid season coming up in the fall. FDP doesn't want to see all the harsh conditions of 2020/2021 to suddenly pop up.
Potential to collapse the government? Well....lets say it this way....it's a fairly fragile coalition and there weren't rule conditions established when they forged this government.
Potential to fail? Most people would suggest less than a 5-percent chance. But here's the thing....if you held a new federal election now....the SPD probably wouldn't get more than 20-percent of the vote, with the CDU likely to clear near 30-percent, and the Greens might get near 25-percent.
A lot of the conditions that existed in September 2021....have evolved.
I'm not forecasting a falling-out but Covid-rule fights would probably one big condition to trigger such an event.
