1. From Hungary....Orban (on his way out) and Magyar (on his way in)....had connections between the two for almost two decades. They were never 'enemies'.
If you ask me....based on commentary by Magyar....the election almost seems like a rigged-up deal where you simply exchanged red-pill-one with red-pill-two...getting the same result, but feeling good that some pro-EU guy is there. Three months down the line....you (the Hungarian-voter) will wake up from this dream, and realize Magyar is very much identical to Orban (except 70 pounds lighter).
2. The beginning of the end for the CDU-CSU-SPD coalition? It'll be the day that a survey is done and reveals that half of German society wants the Scholz coalition back (SPD-Green-FDP).
3. I suspect if you sat down with most Germans and asked them to rank the tempo-limit (bringing the autobahn speed down to 120/130 kph), and among problems to 'FIX'....it won't be even in the top 700 issues. Potholes....might even rank above tempo limit.
4. Sometimes....late at night....I'm channel-flipping for German TV options, and Frau W's show is on.
Basically, she's a fortune-teller....with cards, and Germans call in....asking if they should do something really 'stupid'. Live-show....you (the caller) are paying something like 99-cents (per minute), and she lays out these cards to tell you the best option to take.
I'll typically watch for ten minutes....thinking 'Ingrid' (the caller) ought to dump the boyfriend, or trade in the 'junker', or tell-off the boss, or just seek better advice.
Lately, I've had this feeling that Chancellor Merz should call, and seek advice.
