1. There's a fairly long story over NDR (the German public sub-network from the northern region of Germany).....suggesting a pro-CDU slant over news topics. Network employees are now grumbling about this.
You are beginning to see various complaints being lodged in public about the way that the public TV management folks operate.
Added to this....the RBB network in Berlin has added another story....the fired 'boss' had some type of relationship with the board director....which allowed a lot of things to occur, without questions.....again, a Focus story.
2. This natural gas 'added' tax/levy....to save the failing natural gas companies? Well....it's hitting a brick wall, with the SPD Party setting up a position to counter what the Green Party is pushing (vice-Chancellor Habeck is the one who designed the levy).
Any bets on the added tax occurring? Presently? I'd say it's only 50-50.
3. If you can find a copy of WELT this AM, there's an interesting commentary by Axel Bojanowski. Topic? "Neglect Value of Domestic Agriculture."
To sum it up....it's not that wild of an idea that Germany will soon be a food importer, than a food exporter....because of regulations being handed down by the Berlin folks and the EU.
It's worth a read, but it'll also frustrate you that regulations are creating a pricing spiral .
4. Spiegel did a survey to find more Germans would prefer Habeck (Greens) or Merz (CDU) as Chancellor....than Scholz (SPD).
5. Some weird story where the German authorities admit the daughter of Putin has traveled in Germany on twenty or more occasions in recent years, with Putin's bodyguards in tow....to meet up with her 'lover' in Germany. No one seemed to notice, until the matter was brought up.
Visa cleared? Well....no one says much. Bodyguards part of the Kremlin protection staff? Well....yeah, that's an odd part of the story as well.
