21 Sep 2026: Germany: 6 Stories

 1.  Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania final count.  BSW and CDU....fell below 5-percent (4.9 for the CDU, and 4.8 for BSW)....so neither get seats in the state parliament.  Dismal situation for Merz, and crew.  Odd landscape for the state....left-of-center SPD leads with a coalition of Greens and Linke Party.  AfD is the opposition (by its self).  

General belief....there's likely to be a exit-plan of some type for Merz as Chancellor....by early spring 2027.  

2.  Interior Minister said over the weekend....he wants to revoke the special-status of Syrians to stay in Germany...meaning with x-amount of time....they'd all have to exit.  Odds of this happening?  I'd say less than 50-50 chance.

3.  Oktoberfest spending?  Per-day....it's around 92 Euro per person....for beer/food/fun.

4.  Remmo.....crime-clan 'boss' in Berlin....showed up at the Linke Party victory party.  

5.  Berlin-City election odd factor....almost 50-percent of people under the age of 35...voted for the Linke Party.

6. This brief suggestion of the SPD winning in Mecklenburg?  Yeah, it's odd....polls for about 3 months had shown AfD ahead by 3-to-5 point...each time.  Then one single ending-poll concludes that the SPD had passed the AfD by 2 points....then the ARD/ZDF public TV folks appeared the week prior and did a heavy blitz of interviews to support the SPD Party. 

Invented?  Well....it makes one wonder.
