Basically all of this boils down to France needing more money. This is actually relativly easy to solve, by doing two things: Eurobonds and a EU finance agency regulating financial companies like banks, insurances and so forth in the EU and if need be bail them out. That would lead to borrowing costs equalizing throughout the Eurozone for private borrowers and Eurobonds would be at a lower rate. Maybe even lower then Bunds, as current USD holders will move to the Euro.

Let’s see what happens, but this is badly needed.

The US trade deal is not going to lead to higher LNG imports. It is a complete piece of bs, which both sites have no plan to actually follow. Gas consumption is going to fall and LNG is more expensive then pipeline gas. As soon as the 10% pipeline gas from Russia are cut, the EU will start cutting down on LNG. If Russia looses the war, then it is pretty likely that they start selling gas to Europe again using pipelines. That would massively cut LNG too.

Suspending the trade deal just takes half the members with half the population to agree. Germany and Italy combined have less then a third of the population of the EU.

He is in France, so he should be fine. Only the biggest opposition leaders are killed while in the West.

The Dutch government’s environmental assessment agency released new data.

Great idea to deport the Taliban out of Afghanistan!!! Oh sorry.

Lumix was hardly a disaster. From a technical and organizational level it worked. It was only rolled back due to stupid politicans.

“In the past, elite high schools sent about 80% of their graduates to Turkish universities. Today, almost as many go to Germany, and in the case of certain high schools, it’s 100%,” explained Turkish education expert Salim Unsal.

Holy crap. Talk about brain drain.

Local elections are different, because many actually know the candidates personally, lower voter turn up, the groups run on local issues and difference to the party on a federal level grow the smaller you go. For example there was a lot of media attention on Meißen in the state of Saxony getting an AfD mayor. The federal results would have made that fairly obvious, but in the end the AfD candidate lost with an 18% margin.

This is also true the other way around. Local results do not translate into state or federal results.

Honestly mostly so they can look down on other people. Some just really like hierachy, even when on the lower rangs of it.

EU Constitution with a proper Bill of Rights of some sort including not being spied on by the government, unless permitted by a court or something similar.

Looking at Qatar being bombed by both Israel and Iran, that is not always the case.

Something good coming from this government? I can not believe it.

It is for countries in the European Broadcasting Union on the map in blue.

The Arabs do not like to join, but they could if they wanted to. Also Australia was part of it one time, due to money.

WTF? First of all BRICS has 28.7% of global nominal GDP and 38.35% PPP.

R=Russia which is fighting a massive war in Ukraine

I=India common fighting against Pakistan including some this year

Please actually read up on other countries. The US has a lot of problems and is getting worse, but that still leaves the US in a pretty decent place globally, seeing as it still is insanely rich.

Volkswagen really has the best managment. Love from !fuckcars@lemmy.world

Basically there are three large coalitions one the left, center and right. Those are then made up of individual parties. All three are roughly the same size and Macrons centrist are calling the shots. As obviously the right and left have less they agree on and Macron is president. However both of those groups want to be president and the individual parties want more power for themself as well. So every once in a while the parliament gets blown up, due to the three coalitions fighting.

Add to that a culture of protests and rather strong unions and voila you get hard fights. The good part is that the French rich are genuinly worried about loosing their heads.

It really should be this article.

Given that the title of the article includes “suspends arms deliveries to Israel” I was presuming OP was surprised that there is racism in Germany and not Germany is just like the Nazis. Foolishly I forgot that Israeli propaganda loves to equate Arab resistance with the Holocaust. So obviously to an Israeli Germany by sending aid to UNRWA and suspending arms deliveries is just like the Nazis.

I do apologize.

True I missread the comment. I thought just the headline including the words “partially suspends arms deliveries” would kind of show, that there is at least some value being placed in peoples lifes and not Germany has not changed at all since the Nazi era. So I presumed he was surprised about there being racism in Germany.
