3 Jan 2025: Four German News Stories

 1.  After reviewing attacks on police and fire department folks from the 31st of December....the Interior Minister has now said it's time to set up serious jail-time (suggesting 5 years of prison)....if you go and threaten/harm the police/fire department/ambulance crews.

Fair amount of anger from the  public about the attacks.  This might pass and shock a number of people at jail-time.

2. Germany's Foreign Minister made a surprise visit to Syria yesterday.

3.  Chancellor Scholz sent a 'letter' to the EU....asking them to lead on economic reforms.

4.  CSU Party suggesting subsidy if you go and buy an E-car...avoiding the amount  in the deal.  Even if you said it was 5,000 Euro.....I doubt if this would convince folks to go out and buy the vehicle.
