1. What is this whole thing going on with left-politician Sahra Wagenknecht?
Wagenknecht for two decades....has been a familiar face with the Linke Party (far left). About three years ago....she was out of the leadership role of the party and went into a 'pondering-stage'...while still be attached to the Linke Party.
What Wagenknecht came to....is that various people want fundamental changes to occur, and the changes aren't exactly liberal sort standard.
So she dragged up this idea that the Linke Party needed to 'morph' slightly into something else, and you started to get the idea that she wanted use the model that Macon of France had.....to create a party around one-person....one-idea. This is where a majority of the Linke Party moved away from her concept.
In the past six months....with the AfD Party taking over a lot of polls....especially in the eastern part of Germany....Wagenknecht is now seen as having a opportunity to create one single party, with people from the left and right....dissolving the threat of the AfD Party.
It's an odd political situation to develop, and I won't say that it'll go far.
2. There's a long piece in WELT this AM, written by Hannes Stein....explaining to the typical German that the US is slowly dissolving into a Yugoslavia-like situation where different 'states'/regions can't function in a unified manner. Worth a read.
3. The CDU Party General-Secretary gave a interview on Saturday, and basically said of the public pool brawl-situation existing around the country.....that the people responsible for the fights (typically in the afternoons)....ought to be already brought forward to a court-room by that evening. Yeah, he's suggesting an immediate sentence...actual jail-time (probably going past a couple of weeks).
I'll just say if you had video evidence of the brawl....it could be a fairly short case. . But anyone suggesting a brawl action involving eight people could be done in an hour of court-time...are fooling themselves.
You might be better off to limit entry to young men (age 15 to 25) at public pool, or just demand they pay a higher entry fee (say 20 Euro). They should be the ones paying for the 'bouncers' at the pool.
4. WELT reports from this week's episode at the Dusseldorf airport....48 flights had to be cancelled because of the Last Generation activists blocking the ramp/runway. The legal claims here? If you look at the airport operation, the airlines themselves, and the tourists/travels hurt by this.....it'll go into the tens of millions. This might be an interesting court episode to watch develop.
5. WELT statistic....22-percent of Germans can't afford a one-week trip....anywhere...for a vacation.
