1. Here in my local area (Wiesbaden)....there's a report that the cops noticed some guy speeding in a 100 kph area of the Autobahn nearby.....going 182 kph.
The driver? Well....from Morocco and apparently did not have a visa. This drew some curiosity. Examining the area under the floormat...Audi RS3 (lux sports car)...150,000 Euro in cash sitting there.
Neither the driver or passenger could explain where the money came from....so it's been confiscated for the time being under money-laundering laws.
2. Focus reports some added news on Nord Stream I/II explosions....suggesting that the Danish Navy had seen a Russian sub in the area about week prior to the explosion. Odd part to the story is that it's a mini-sub....not a regular sub. Added weight to blame the Russians? Marginal.
I do find it odd that this news comes out now....not the month after the explosion.
3. This 3 ballot business in Berlin's mayor situation? Well....if you go and dig through all the regional chatter....there was supposed to have been a deal where the SPD members would vote in the first ballot for Wegner (the CDU Party guy) as part of the coalition deal.
There is apparently discontent among the 'players' of the SPD Party NOT wanting the coalition or accepting the deal.
There is also a rumor that the small crew within the SPD on the 3rd ballot were still not wanting to support the coalition deal....and that AfD Party members crossed the line to support Wegner. Since it's all secret voting.....you can't tell if this is true. There's also a rumor that a couple of CDU members of Wegner's own party....don't like him and weren't voting him in.
Relationship between the CDU and SPD as you move forward.....shaky and fragile.
