1. Sunday evening, the 'boss' of the CDU Party (Merz) gave a big interview on ARD, and said in certain words that the CDU would NOT partner up at the national or state level with the AfD Party.
What he left out was municipalities. So this has gotten some criticism generated.
It's basically forcing the party into a corner now....going back to center-center politics (Merkel's big game), and if you had some conservative positions....well....it's going to be hard to avoid the AfD Party.
Uttering of comment 'Laschet version 2.0'? This was the last CDU 'boss' who got dumped upon and left when support dwindled.
2. Primary news last night....German tourists being 'lifted' off several Greek islands because of fires. Number? They suggest 30,000 being removed, and their vacations ending early. Both commercial and public TV ran long segments about this last night.
3. New SPD Party topic? Oddly enough, they want to forbid recruitment of temp employees under the age of 18. It's a trend I've noticed lately at grocery stores (shelf stackers) and bakery operations. These aren't full-time jobs....more like the mini-job status.
4. Jan Alexander Casper wrote an interesting piece for WELT....noting the problems of German prisons now....where increasing numbers of people are convicted and sent off to.
Added burden these day? A lot of those who show up....are actually mentally ill. The prison system was not set up to function as a mental ward. Good piece, worth reading....in today's WELT.
