1. ARD (public TV) last night....ran roughly two hours of German civil service job chatter....mostly that Germany has too many gov't workers. I'd say close to 80-percent of Germans agree....there is a problem, but selecting the solution or who to 'let-go'....is near impossible. Total of those counted? Near 1.8-million.
2. Chancellor Merz gave a talk yesterday....says that Germans are not taking the threat of Russia serious. I might agree....average German does not put the Russia-threat-chatter in a top ten thing to worry about.
3. Italy is trucking 500 Italian soldiers to Milan....to send the message....no riots desired. Police detained 270-plus folks from yesterday's demonstration. Some commentary....indicating even 12-year-old kids were among the 'bad-boys'.
4. Iran called in the German ambassador to Iran....some negative comments.
5. Berlin-City: Linke Party talking of forcing acquisition of 160,000 apartments (to be city property)......would need 10-billion Euro to accomplish this. Doesn't say where the money would come from. Belief is....they'd control rent costs.
6. Curfew rules set for some French cities now.
