1. Raids took place in Koln, Madrid, and Vienna, against Jihadist terror cells. What is generally said at this time...they were planning New Year's Eve attacks in the three cities (primary targets: churches). More info likely to come today.
2. For about four days straight now....either rain or drizzle...continuously. Alerts up for flooding, and some railway services in Germany are suspended.
3. There's a call by non-coalition members of the Bundestag....to have a 'summit' to talk over asylum/immigration in Germany....in January. Basically, they want to drag Chancellor Scholz and the gov't ministers in to talks with the state's and their leadership.
I doubt if Scholz wants to engage in this discussion. On the other side of this discussion? Well....there are several eastern Germany elections this year, and this is a top-five topic...so it might be wise to engage and discuss a couple of improvements in the system.
4. The freight forwarding industry in Germany is putting out warnings that these farmer protests in Germany (set for 2nd week of January) will affect deliveries, and you might notice some empty shelves.
Most truckers will tell you that it's bad enough between autobahn blockages normally, and bad weather....but to have a three-hour protest in the middle of things....will just make deliveries worse.
