26 Feb 2025: Three German News Stories

1. Last night via the ZDF  talk-show...."Markus Lanz"....coalition talks came up.   Guests voiced  position that these would be extremely difficult.  Youth-wing of SPD....JUSO....their comment made it pretty clear  that the CDU would  have to give upon a  number of promises.   CDU guest (Linnemann) suggested that if the talks failed....quote: "Then the AfD will be at 40 percent next time."

In general, my humble thought is that deportation has to get on-track and be more successful.  Otherwise....yeah, the AfD will be  up in mid-20s to 30 percent.

2.  Bundestag odd moment yesterday....CDU is asking questions of finance for  protest organizations....that are mostly left/far-left.   It's been a big-deal over past three months....mostly run by three organizations....Correctiv, Campact and the Antonio Amadeu Foundation.

Both the Greens and SPD were aggravated. 

3.  A group called 'Islamic State' has called for an attack on the Koln Fasching parade.
