1. Have the German states of Thuringia, Saxony, or Brandenburg formed a coalition state government since their state elections? No. It might actually take another four weeks.
2. Leipzig has a Chinese spy episode brewing. Oddly, she was working in some way for a AfD Party official in the local area. Whether he knew of her 'mission' or not....unknown.
3. The federal Regulatory Control Council of Germany....has given the government a decent amount of praise. HOWEVER.....they noted there's still a ton of rules and procedures. In simple terms....still too much bureaucracy built into the way that the German government functions.
4. There was a federal term invented about a year ago in Germany....to handle Ukrainians in Germany and getting them jobs. 'Job-turbo' was the term.
This week....some assessment chatter came out. It's not bad criticism....just that folks thought the 'turbo' meaning....meant actual 'turbo', and that wasn't the great deal presently seen in public.
5. Next EU 'blessed' gift to society? There's talk of a digital ID....that you would load in some way on your cellphone, and it'd replace your national ID card (in some sense).
Suggesting this and delivering it.....two separate topics, I suggest.
6. CSU Party (of Bavaria) making direct hint to the CDU Party (their 'big' brother)....that they might not participate in a CDU-Green Party government.
It would be 'wild' if the CDU won the 2025 election and formed a coalition with the Greens....which the CSU would not participate in. Present numbers? Greens won't go past 12-percent, and CDU (by themselves) won't go past 27-percent....so they'd have to have a 3rd big party (either BSW or SPD) to reach 50-percent or more....without the CSU.
7. Some draft plan being developed by the gov't.....if you were on the citizen's allowance program (welfare) and employed for 12 months straight....they'd pay you a yearly bonus of 1,000 Euro.
Where the money would come from? Unknown.
8. EU Climate Commissioner spoke up yesterday.....saying the only path ahead for resolving the climate....is nuke-power. Will be interesting if the German Green Party finds some agreement.
9. New German statistic....half the people on the gov't program of citizen allowance (welfare)....are non-Germans.
