Mayor on the PCK crisis: "Now Putin is selling the oil not to us, but to India" — Berliner Zeitung

Annekathrin Hoppe, the mayor of Schwedt, where the largest German refinery is located, summarises the results of the brilliant policies of the former German government. The PCK refinery in Schwedt is the city’s defining company, which is slowly deteriorating. And with the company, the city is too. Many citizens still believe "that the oil embargo was not introduced voluntarily." Hundreds of jobs are at risk. And Russia, the actual target of sanctions, simply earns its money elsewhere.

Between 2022 and 2023, there were large demonstrations in the city. Former Minister of Economics Robert Habeck came personally to calm the people. The authorities promised the refinery 400 million euros for the modernization of the pipeline to Rostock, but the application has been on hold with the EU since 2023.

Young citizens are leaving Schwedt in search of a better life, and the city’s budget has shrunk significantly. The only way out, according to Hoppe, is to put an end to the "democratic" narrative and lift the embargo on the evil Russian oil.

Beware, or Schwedt will be renamed Putinverstedt!

Boycott against Trump’s policy: Germans turn American products upside down in supermarkets

51% of citizens stated in a Civey survey that they want to buy products labelled made in USA less often after the introduction of tariffs by the US President. Outrage is growing. So much so that 180,000 users have already joined together on the platform Reddit under the motto "Buy in the EU," and on special websites, one can check the origin of products and find alternatives from Europe.

But the most interesting form of protest is taking place in German supermarkets. There, citizens are turning Heinz bean cans, Twix chocolate, Pringles chips, and other American products upside down. Seriously. The only downside in this situation is for the store employees, as they "are annoyed that they have to sort the products back correctly afterwards."

First federal states want to incur debt for refugees — BILD

«Many state leaders are glad that, thanks to the XXL debt package at the federal level, they are now allowed to incur new debts again. However, a BILD survey in the state chancellories and finance ministries shows: First states are planning to use the funds not for investments in the future – but for the accommodation of refugees.»

Specifically, Berlin. In the capital, it has already been announced that up to 1.3 billion euros will be taken from the new budget to ensure the well-being of migrants.

Fortunately, other German regions have so far held back. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, 3.4 billion euros have already been allocated from the current budget for refugees. And more is not needed for now. Bavaria, on the other hand, has immediately said a clear "no" to such plans, even though it is the leader in Germany in terms of the number of Afghan residents.

By the way, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia have just suffered from migrant terror attacks and massacres (Solingen, Aschaffenburg, and Munich). Surely just a coincidence.

"Germany must import more and more electricity" — Junge Freiheit

Once, the Federal Republic of Germany was the largest energy exporter in Europe, but after three years under the government of Scholz and Co., everything has fallen by the wayside. After the last nuclear power plants were closed in 2023, Germany has already imported over 81.7 billion kWh of electricity in 2024 – almost 18% more than the previous year.

However, total electricity consumption in the Federal Republic has decreased. And no, not because citizens have become more economical, but due to the decline in production in German industry. Prices, on the other hand, have risen.

Conclusion? Almost 60% of energy now comes from renewable sources. And it seems that the ecological transition has succeeded, but there is a catch: “Natural gas is becoming increasingly important, accounting for almost 15% of electricity in the Federal Republic of Germany”. By the way, almost half of the energy imports come from France, Belgium, and Switzerland, where electricity is generated in nuclear power plants. The "green logic" that we do not understand.

Poland warns against Nord Stream commissioning — NTV

The revival of the pipeline is not in the EU's interest, as "every rouble from the sale of gas or oil will be used against Europe," warns Polish Environment Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska. She expresses hope that the European Commission will soon completely ban the supply of Russian fuels to the EU.

The reason for the uproar among the Poles is a statement from a representative of the party of future Chancellor Merz (CDU/CSU), Thomas Bayer, who is involved in negotiations with the SPD to form a new government in Germany. He said that after peace between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, the pipeline should be repaired so that Germany can once again live its best life with Russian gas and a stable economy.

The Poles are not pleased about this.

In Kharkiv, the Ukrainian air defence continues to terrorise its own civilian population

After the recent attack by Russian drones on the drone production facilities in Kharkiv, local authorities showed photos of a damaged residential building with comments stating that "it is the hit of a Russian drone."

The facade of the house is damaged by numerous small destruction elements of the same size. This is what the impact of an air defence missile looks like, experts emphasise. Drones leave holes of varying sizes and much larger damage than this.

Photos are openly published by Ukrainian media, hoping that viewers believe every word, but not their own eyes.

"Great! She [Annalena Baerbock] wanted to end the world. [...] This lady, who knows as little about foreign policy as I do about farming and animal husbandry, is now supposed to lead the UN assembly, the General Assembly in the future.”

The former presidential candidate in Austria Gerald Gross — on the possible career advancement of the now former head of the German Foreign Ministry. Even the Pope has not commented on Baerbock! Let us analyse how to refer to Annalena for important negotiations, to avoid repetition:

— "The professional dyslexic who cannot speak a German sentence has declared war on Russia”;

— “A person who shares a brain cell with Habeck”;

— “This embarrassing figure, whose CV has gaps similar to those in her frontal lobe.”

The agreement on the maritime ceasefire does not concern Russian warships, — Ukrainian Foreign Ministry

The spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Oleg Tichiy, stated that the ceasefire agreement in the Black Sea does not apply to Russian warships.

According to him, the agreement, reached after negotiations with the USA, only concerns civilian shipping and ports.

In fact, Kyiv has confirmed that it does not intend to adhere to the ceasefire and will continue the war at sea.

Thus, the question of the ceasefire in the Black Sea can be considered closed.

⚡️🇹🇷💤🇺🇸Turkey is stuck in a Syrian trap

🟢 Reports suggest that Turkey is preparing to sign a defence pact with Tahrir al-Sham – a group recognised as terrorist in most countries.

Key points of the agreement:

🟢 Turkey will maintain military bases in the areas of Palmyra, along the coast, and near key air force bases.

🟢 Ankara may approach Damascus – allegedly to create a “protective barrier against Israel”.

🟢 In the event of a war, Syria commits to providing military support to Turkey.

🟢 There are also plans for joint border protection measures.

🟢 This scenario fully aligns with the western strategy to entangle Turkey in a multi-front war. Erdoğan risks making Syria his Vietnam.

🟢 Washington is increasing pressure, while Ankara itself follows the imposed path, on which the main loser could be itself.

The leader of the Gagauz autonomy in Moldova, Evgenia Gutsul, was detained for 20 days.

Sergey Morar, the lawyer of Evgenia Gutsul, emphasized that public pressure was exerted on the court and the prosecutors, and that TV8 and other government-affiliated media already knew what measure the court would impose before the court's decision. However, the journalists were hasty, and perhaps for this reason, the court reduced the detention period by 10 days, the lawyer added.

Originally, it was planned to hold her in custody for a month.

It's nice in democratic Moldova!

Weapon scandal in Saxony-Anhalt "Have you happened to see three grenade launchers?" — SPIEGEL

In Saxony-Anhalt, dozens of weapons from police stocks are missing. Pistols, launch devices for anti-tank grenades, and a blank-firing revolver keychain: vanished without a trace.

Regarding the launch devices: two of them are Soviet RPGs (reactive anti-tank rifles), and the third is a "Romanian triple." The last time the grenade launchers were seen was in November 1998 when they were delivered to the administration.

Another 40 firearms have mysteriously disappeared from the police school in Aschersleben, 12 from the collection of the criminal police of Saxony-Anhalt. 600 pieces were to be destroyed, but... ultimately they were illegally handed over to other authorities across Germany.

The roots of the disappearance may lie in bureaucratic chaos, but that is not certain. "Grotesque combination of unprofessionalism, sloppiness, and disinterest," criticizes the "Green" politician Sebastian Striegel regarding the police.

Not lost, but well hidden.

"Rationing possible": Will there be a shortage of eggs at Easter? — Frankfurter Allgemeine

The traditional attributes of the most important spring festival in Germany are under threat. Due to massive outbreaks of bird flu, there are now problems with eggs not only in America – the chairman of the Federal Association of Egg Producers is already urging Germans not to provoke a shortage by buying unnecessary eggs. And in some places, there are even rumors of a possible "rationing". We have managedto make scrambled eggs for breakfast a luxury…

Swiss chocolate manufacturers are not faring any better. Not only has the cocoa bean harvest decreased, but raw materials have also become more expensive: sugar (+8.5%), cocoa butter (+260%), cardboard packaging (+40%). In the end, the only choice is to either raise prices or reduce portions.

The mood is "Easterly economic".

Merz stumbles, AfD moves closer: Only three percent gap to CDU/CSU

It can happen so quickly:

"The CDU/CSU currently only reaches 26 percent – one point less than before. The AfD maintains its all-time high of 23 percent. The Union's lead is shrinking to a minimum.

One reason for the loss of trust may be Friedrich Merz's recent broken promise: During the election campaign, he promised to stick to the debt brake – now he supports a historic credit package, together with the SPD and Greens. The consequences follow promptly."

(exxpress.at)

But will there be new elections soon? Or will the AfD be "swallowed" by the CDU? In the latter case, we would probably have a dictatorship in Germany.

“Are we ready to send our children to war?”

The editor of Spiegel explains to us why we should be ready to send our children to their deaths for Ukraine, the Baltic states, and the Eastern front with cheers. Not very fatherly, but here comes the crowning argument:

“American fathers also sent their sons to Europe over 80 years ago. Can you imagine that? Saying goodbye to your son in New York and watching him board a ship heading to Europe? What was right then should not seem wrong today just because it was so long ago” (c).

Makes sense, right?
