A lot of the funding was connected to the Constitutional Court action from 2 weeks ago, and there's a freeze of funding now. Added to the problems....there is some significant opposition to the project now.
Project was supposed to be resolving lack of natural gas because the Russian situation in Ukraine.
2. Decent article on Focus by Ulrich Reitz (here). Topic? Growing lack of trust with the coalition government.
No doubt, the SPD-FDP-Green coalition is at the weakest point since the election (fall 2021). Just a lot of speculation that it will collapse.
There was supposed to be a budget crisis meeting next week.....that has been cancelled.
3. Chatter of mandated mask-wearing? What you have brewing is a wave of flu and Covid mixed in together. So chatter has picked up in the last couple of days.
I would assess things and agree....if you ride a bus or train, you can hear a fair amount of coughing. Enough to mandate masks? Well....I'd say near 50-percent of people are anti-mask. On a typical day out.....I'll probably see 5-percent of Germans wearing masks (shopping, on the bus, etc).
4. Supposed to be a massive trucker protest in Wiesbaden....over increasing tolls in Germany...next couple of days. Will tie up traffic to a great extent.
