1. Amazing....Greens agreed to debt change in the Constitution...to give CDU-CSU-SPD what they wanted.
What the Greens got? 100-Billion Euro spending for climate protection.
Criticism over this 'new' debt? Yeah, it's a fair amount of negativity dumped on Merz, and the Greens.
How the climate protection money will be dispensed? Unknown at this point. If it were entirely spent within Germany.....might be positive (like flood control).
2. New PM of Greenland says non-cooperation with Trump....but needs full support of new membership in the national assembly. I'm not sure where this leads onto. Most folks there seem to want independence, period....from Denmark....as a minimum.
3. Another knifing incident.....this near Esslingen. What the police say, a unknown guy attacked a woman with a knife on the street in Kirchheim unter Teck. Considered seriously injured. Victim considered out of danger.
No motive or known relationship. Guy just walked away.
4. Mayor election coming up in 6 months in Ludwigshafen. WELT had a piece this AM...giving some odds that a AfD candidate might be able to win the election. I should point out...at least three other parties fronting candidates as well.
Big deal? Normally, on the western half of Germany....AfD doesn't typically get beyond 10-percent on any type of vote. Stronghold is the eastern side of the country. Population of the town? Around 175,000.
Ludwigshafen for me....is this German town with the weirdest train station (of the hundred-odd stations I've been at). I'd describe the area....as a working-man's city.
