25 April 2025: Five German News Stories

 1.  Presently, by German law....your car must be inspected every two years.

There is a EU discussion going on....the EU Commission wants to introduce a mandatory annual inspection for all cars older than ten years. 

Odds of this passing?  Some folks are going to ask why.

Is there some issue existing?  In Germany, with the current TUV standards, I doubt it.

2.  That shooting I essayed about.....a week ago....where the two Turkish guys were shot dead?

Well...German cops have arrested a 28-year-old Turkish guy there in Bad Nauheim.  What they say....this guy admits having shot both victims, in relation to a a revenge  situation....for the killing of his father in Turkey in 2021.

3.  German position on Trump's design peace deal (which does not appear acceptable to Russia or Ukraine)...negative.  

4. E-cars are currently going through a nationwide sales boom in Germany. The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) published the numbers for new registrations.  Nationwide, 112,966 cars were registered in the first quarter of 2025. That's about 30k more than this quarter last year.

5.  It is curious....as the NFL draft 'show' is going on....fair number of Germans are watching it unfold.
