1. Bitter fighting going on within CDU Party?
Well....you have two 'adventures' going on.
First, you have a pro-Merkel group existing within the CDU....who want Merz gone, and the NRW Premier-President (Hendrik Wüst) to replace him. Merz apparently is not Merkel-enough for this group.
Second, you have various opposition parties saying that the CDU needs to 'reform' in some way....to take votes away from the AfD Party (meaning they need to lean more right). Their suggestion is that something must happen shortly, or we end up in a crisis.
2. With all this German hype today about potential tornadoes for Thursday....is this rare?
Well....on average, between 10 and 25 tornadoes are identified in Germany each year (since 2001). Most are minor in nature....lasting a minute or two. In my region....about a mile away into the woods....a funnel cloud came down and knocked down around sixty trees (back around 8 years ago).
3. I noticed a news piece this AM....German bicycle dealers are dealing with a large inventory of bikes (ordered in the Covid era), and currently in the show-room....unsold. Prices are being discounted. You can probably get 10-to-20 percent off presently...compared to the 2022 prices.
