16 Mar 2024: Seven German News Stories

 1.  The German Constitutional Court asked for a law to deal with underage marriages...something that lingers from migration.

So the Justice Ministry has a draft and will pursue getting the Bundestag to pass it.  Basic wording?  If a marriage from outside of Germany was performed, and either of the two were under 16....the marriage will not be recognized.

The scenario where you had a 2010 marriage where some 12-year old girl was married to a 16-year old boy?  Well....if they enter Germany.....if the law passes...the marriage would not be recognized.  

Forcing the EU to enter and create a law themselves?  Yes, I would suggest that.

2.  German C02 emissions fell by 10-percent in 2023.  You can allow up up a bottle of Champaign tonight and celebrate.

3.  The EU congratulated Putin on winning Russia election....even though the election is not completed until Sunday.  They kinda know.....already....he can only be the winner.

4.  Martin Winterkorn, former VW CEO, is facing court action...a serious high fine because of suspicion of fraud.

5.   About ten days ago....this story and images come out of France's Macron and his 'older' wife to the US.  Just as facts....she's 70 (25 years older than Macron).  So the twist to this....some BS started up that she's trans.

I've looked over this story, and find it interesting (100-percent BS).....and wonder how this suddenly comes up out of nowhere.  The age thing? Well....back at the end of 2016.....this whole story was laid out.  I have no idea how Americans missed the that story.

6.  The EU on Friday passed a law....NOT one single tree can be cut down.....to plant a coffee 'plant'....meaning not just in Europe, but you can't even import coffee from the rest of the NON-EU world....if this is the situation.

For those who haven't noticed it....steep rise in coffee prices and spiral will continue.

7.  EU suing Greece?  Well.....yes.  The accusation?  All these floods....they say Greek communities were unprepared, and they want to make an example out of them.
