20 Jan 2024: Three German News Stories

 1.  Demo scheduled in Berlin for the weekend....truckers this time.  Their complaint?  Higher toll fees and limited parking for evening rest.  Just in Berlin....the warning is about 1,500 truckers will be around the city.

2. Curious piece written for WELT by Julien Reitzenstein, entitled: "Like 1933? This is how much “Weimar” really lies in Germany’s current crisis." (Opinion piece, fair amount of history written into it).  Recommend a read if you can find the newspaper.

The thing is.....if you 'chop' up all the various problems, woes and emergencies....the general public of Germany is in some daze, and the political system isn't able to resolve the mess.

3.  There were some Last Generation activists engaged in shutting down the Sylt Airport....back last summer.  Well....the prosecutor has wrapped up his investigation, and will be bringing charges.
