1. Noted that the Executive Council of the FDP Party all resigned....trying to find a new path on election strategy. If you can't get 5-percent or more in an election....you get no seats, and no 'respect'.
2. The statutory health insurance (public healthcare) system is facing a deficit of nearly 12 billion euros in 2027. CDU-SPD swear that no rise in cost will occur. Will be curious how they resolve this problem.
3. Election from Sunday in Munich for Mayor....long-term SPD Mayor voted out....Green Party Mayor voted in.
4. General cost of producing a liter of gas....89-Euro-cents. Five layers of German tax added....bringing cost to around 2-Euro. Germans generally know there's a fair amount of fuel taxation, but rarely do they guess on this....to the number of five.
5. Focus says....last of Gulf LNG tankers have left the region. Once they arrive....there's a long wait for natural gas.
6. After eight years of talks....EU and Australia have a trade agreement.
7. N-TV piece....Germans asked/polled about their willing nature to accept Iranian refugees....apparently not so willing to accept 'more'.
