1. Berlin, some party boat had a roof-collapse to occur. 29 folks wounded.
2. Ricarda Lang, boss of the Green Party of Germany....made a statement yesterday...."It's become a national sport to hate the Green Party."
I would suggest the hype of the Green Party peaked around 3 years ago, and because of the economy and migration....there's a fair amount of disdain for the party. Trending now? Back in 2021 (election), they were near 14.7-percent of the national vote. Presently, with polls....I'd say they are trending near 10-percent (meaning they've lost around one-third of their voters).
3. Coalition gov't says the pension/social security tax has to go up in 2025.
4. The AfD Party (right-wing) made a accusation against ARD (the public-TV network)....saying for their documentary piece 'The 100 - What Moves Germany'....used 'actors' instead of regular people.
ARD went on the defensive....saying no....these were regular people.
I'll just say...up to this point, unlike US news services who DO use actors on occasion....neither ARD or ZDF has done any of this trick-business for news interviews. If they were caught in doing so....some people would be fired rather quickly.
5. Talks within the CDU-CSU Parties concluded yesterday....Soder (Premier-President of Bavaria and CSU 'boss') agreed to support Merz (CDU 'boss') as the chancellor candidate...in the 2025 national election.
Just a humble guess....as the CDU-CSU wins (at least 30-percent of the vote)....I think Soder gets the Finance Minister job.
Who ends up in the partnership deal of a coalition gov't? Some people think the cards are being laid out for the BSW to get invited (ahead of the SPD Party). I don't think that the Green Party will get an invitation to the coalition.
Also, just a guess here, but because Merz's age....I think he's a one-term Chancellor....meaning when the 2029 election comes around....Soder might get the full support to be the chancellor candidate.
