1. With this political turmoil going on in Turkey....doesn't it harm tourism?
YES.....even with a ton of tourism money poured into TV ads....hoping on a recovery from Covid....Erdogan's crew are creating a perfect mess for Germans to view things, and get nervous about stability.
Ever since 2016....Germans have questioned things. Prior to that....Turkey was one of the top vacation destinations.
If you asked me nightly....off commercial German TV....I'll see at least one to two Turkish tourism ads. Total waste now.
2. Talk in the coalition meetings...of a E-car rebate?
Well....there's talk to get people encouraged. Early 2024....based on new car numbers....the whole E-car trend in Germany has peaked.
The majority of Germans....even if you offered a 3k Euro rebate (only on EU-produced E-cars)....it won't influence the selection. Part of this.....charging station opinions, and part of this is simply the increasing cost of electric rates.
3. Nicolas Walter wrote an interesting piece for WELT....worth a read....entitled: “I don’t want to know how many fake driving licenses are on German roads.”
What he points out....a high number of folks are failing the drivers tests, and in recent years....there might have been some 'cheating' going on.
My German wife is often critical of drivers now....pointing out to me as we drive through town....this 'mistake' or that 'mistake'. Over a normal week....I hear this criticism of hers at least twenty times now.
