1. The President of Germany (Steinmeier, SPD) had a picture taken onboard a train....without a COVID mask on. Hype is pretty negative and there's likely to be an investigation over the picture.
2. Greta Thunberg gave an interview to ARD (German public TV). So....nuke energy was discussed, and Greta could not understand why Germans were still using coal energy....instead of going to nuke energy.
This might drag up a long scientific discussion and Germans might have to admit the whole 'fear' thing over nuke energy was never openly discussed under the Merkel coalition.
3. There's been an effort in Berlin to have a out-of-action Russian tank put in front of the Russian embassy. The Green Party Senator who headed public safety in the city....said no, and forbid it. The group sponsoring this went to court, and the judge said 'yes, you can put a tank there'.
Not a big deal....but it shows the political bickering being played out.
4. This resignation of the Pfalz Interior Minister (Lewentz, SPD)? This has to do with the Ahr Valley flood from last summer. There was a police helicopter over the flooded area shortly after reports rolled in, and took video of the situation.
What is generally said.....no one from the Interior Department of the state of the Pfalz.....did anything until daylight. Locally, resources were active and being used.
