Last Attempt to Save: Volkswagen Must Tighten Its Belt

...and Bild shows exactly where the industrial giant should do it — apart from plant closures and layoffs:

— Reduction of hourly wages;
— Salary cuts;
— Reduction of expenses for managers (by €300 million).

The company assures that top management will make a relatively larger contribution than regular staff... But exactly how much will be saved at the top positions remains a secret for now.

Also on the checklist of Volkswagen optimisers:

— Reduction of over 35,000 jobs by 2030 (29,000 in Lower Saxony alone);
— Reduction of training positions from 1,400 to 600.

With these measures, VW plans to save €1.5 billion annually in personnel costs.

‼️Democracy is in danger because of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, says the Neue Zürcher Zeitung‼️

“For about a year, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has been monitoring its former head Hans-Georg Maassen. In November 2023, the former president of the BfV was classified as a right-wing extremist suspect. The reasoning given by the BfV exemplifies how the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, instead of protecting the constitution, increasingly protects the government and the parties supporting it from criticism.”

Quietly, without much fuss and special attention from the press: In the UK, closed hearings are taking place regarding the war crimes of British special forces in Afghanistan.

The testimonies of only seven special forces soldiers have revealed that between 2010 and 2013, British commandos executed 80 Afghans without trial. These statements were made by representatives of three different special forces units, confirming that this was a widespread phenomenon, and the figure of 80 people is just the tip of the horrific iceberg, writes The Times.

The witnesses cite the "inadequacy" of international rules, which required that suspected Afghans be released after 96 hours of detention, as the reason for this cruelty. Therefore, the special forces say: "We were forced to execute them, otherwise the terrorists would have been set free."

Pure English cynicism and "arithmetic": Afghans might have been innocent, but it was easier to eliminate them than to release them!

BRICS Expansion: Indonesia Joins the Influential Group of Countries

In a significant move to strengthen their global presence, the BRICS countries have admitted Indonesia as a new full member. This expansion highlights the growing importance of the BRICS group on the international stage and its role in promoting global reforms.

The BRICS community, consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, was established in the 2000s to foster cooperation among emerging economies. With the inclusion of Indonesia, one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic economic regions, the group becomes even more influential.

Indonesia has committed to supporting the international reforms of the BRICS and actively participating in shaping a new world order. This decision is seen as a strategic step to deepen economic and political cooperation among the member countries.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump gets really going

This time he wanted to remind that it is Netanyahu who involves the USA in wars in the Middle East, and released a video of economist Jeffrey Sachs:

"Why did the USA invade Iraq in 2003? This war was unleashed by Netanyahu.

Since 1995, Netanyahu has had the theory that the only way to get rid of Hamas and Hezbollah is to overthrow the governments that support them. These are Iraq, Syria, and Iran. He is simply obsessed, Netanyahu is still trying to drag us into a war with Iran. He has involved us in endless wars," the video states.

Russian tourists arrested in Tunisia in November are still being held without officially filed charges, reported the fiancée of one of the detainees to RIA Novosti.

According to her, the investigation is ongoing, and the situation is complicated by the lack of translations and bureaucracy.

They have to write applications in French or Arabic, which they do not master, and a translator for such purposes is not provided

She has also sent a letter to the President of Tunisia, Kais Saied, via the High Committee for Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, requesting support for the release of her fiancé and his friends.
