1. The Chancellor (Scholz) appeared last night on ARD (public TV, Channel One) in a live chat.....mostly about the budget crisis being resolved. It was a normal format, and at some point....the moderator (from ARD) needled at Scholz that he needed to express a 'sorry' to the nation. I thought it was kinda crappy in the way it was suggested.
At some point then, she (the moderator) comes back when he is fuming a bit to say something like 'you don't want to offer an apology?'.
My question...was there anyone much watching the ARD interview?
Where all of this is leading? I suspect all three parties of the coalition have evaluated the potential election results if forced into tossing the gov't, and decided lets just fix things enough to get by. Presently, it'd be a disaster for the Greens and SPD if a national election was scheduled.
2. There's talk that the EU intends to invent methods/rules to control electricity cost throughout Europe. I'm a bit skeptical that this will be accomplished without issues.
3. Some kind of suggestion going active....to get more people in Germany signed up for organ donation, by running a lotto of some type. I thought this was a joke, but apparently it's in a discussion stage. Where the money would come from? German gov't apparently.
