28 March 2024: Five German News Stories

 1.  Focus ran a piece yesterday....suggesting that by the end of summer....the Chancellor position will be 'swapped-out'.  Meaning?  Scholz will be brought into a party meeting and told that a vote has to occur within the party.  If he loses?  The party will debate over a week, and 'pick' a new person.  

Odds: Defense Minister, Pistorius.

2.  Flixbus accident....4 dead and 20-odd people wounded, near Leipzig.

3.  Chocolate inflation going on?  Well....what the business folks say is that the price of chocolate has soared 50-percent in four weeks. 

4. Chancellor Scholz talking over future political relationships....says 'no' to the SPD hooking up with the BSW Party (the newly created party).

5. Movement around Germany of mail via airplane?  It came to an end last night.....from this point on....mail moves by rail or truck.  So overnight letters getting from Hamburg to Munich.....probably comes to an end.  Supposed to be a climate-saving idea.
