Three Observations

 First, a German court stood up and ruled that the emergency 'powers' that were used for German border controls...were unlawful/illegal.

What happens next?  Unknown.  In polls done over the last year or two....this border control business was supported by more than 50-percent of the voters.

Second, 'retire-at-age-63' concept likely to be dumped by the CDU-CSU-SPD coalition.  Polls indicate three out of four Germans still support the idea.

Third, Bundeshaushalt 2027 (the budget plan)....finally cleared by committee after a 16-hour day yesterday.  Spending is set at roughly €561 billion with around €210 billion in new debt/borrowing.
