1. BILD went and did a survey of polling numbers.
IF the FDP Party fails to get 5-percent of the vote (now sitting at 4-percent)....then they are removed from the Bundestag, and there's a numbers situation where a CDU-CSU and Green Party coalition could occur.
There's been a fair amount of criticism of the Green Party achievements in the past three years....a lot of it from the CDU-CSU folks. But presently the only other option is the CDU-CSU and SPD coalition.
2. The EU court system is messing around with a case where a high number of German diesel cars would be 'forcibly' removed from the roads.
Across the whole EU...there's around 200-million vehicles in this group that would be 'junked'.
This decision was made in November, but there's typically three to six months of action time where member states could make a demand. So far, nothing much has happened.
Another topic for the election? Well....no one has said much but I would imagine around two-million diesel car owners in Germany will be asking questions.
These being mostly diesel cars made prior to 2017? Yes.
The 'funny' side to this? When you go back to the 1970s....the selling point of diesel was that you got tons of extra mileage, and that was a big deal out of the gas crisis period. The mileage led to a lot of Germans being hyped-up over the choice.
3. Because of a decline in stock price....Lufthansa can now pay a 15-percent dividend for the year (shocking amount, even I will admit).
