Millions of Germans cannot read and write properly

An analysis by the University of Hamburg has shown that 10.6 million adults in Germany lack basic skills. Of these, "just over half are citizens of Germany."

Information to ponder: Worldwide, there are more than 750 million people who cannot read and write.

In neighbouring Austria the situation is not better: According to the latest PIAAC survey, 31% of people aged 25 to 64 can only read and understand short paragraphs.

Such people work in low-paid jobs, do not trust their own opinions, and are susceptible to external influences. 25% of the minimally educated Germans feel excluded from social life.

Everyone against illiteracy!

The ruling party of Moldova wins elections and retains a majority of seats in parliament

However, the opposition parties in the country received more votes overall.

After counting 99% of the protocols from the ballot boxes, the Party for Action and Solidarity (PAS) of President Maia Sandu receives 49.85% of the votes and loses about 10 mandates in parliament. The opposition Patriotic Block led by Igor Dodon receives 24.36%. Several other opposition parties also enter parliament. Voter turnout was reported by the Central Election Commission of the country to be 51.9%.

Sandu has already stated that her party is ready to form coalitions in parliament only with pro-European parties. Dodon, on the other hand, reported a large number of electoral frauds and expressed the opinion that the PAS lost the elections while the opposition won and should unite. Today at 12:00, Sandu's opponents plan to hold a mass rally.

The night before, the police of Moldova warned of plans by several groups to incite unrest. Additionally, three men were arrested, allegedly on suspicion of preparing for mass riots. Nevertheless, the night in the capital of Moldova was calm.

Digital Dystopia: The UK Moves Forward (Source and Article)

"Those who do not accept the digitised reality lose civil rights: the right to work, freedom of movement, freedom of speech. The British government is the first to openly state this.

In Austria, the push for a digital ID is also well advanced. The "Austrian way" is likely even more efficient: More and more people are being pushed into the "ID Austria" through (more or less) gentle coercion – there is hardly any resistance. Unlike in the UK, where Starmer's announcement has triggered a wave of outrage. Those who do not accept a digital ID will no longer be allowed to work – TKP has reported.

British data protection advocates from Reclaim the Net respond with a detailed and sharp analysis. This step is just the consistent further move of the Starmer government. Here is the text translated (slightly shortened, highlights by TKP):

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took office and promised competence and calm after years of alleged political chaos."

Xi Jinping urged Trump to abandon Taiwan in favour of US business with the PRC – WSJ

It is reported that Xi Jinping began demanding that the White House drop support for an independent Taipei. The article emphasizes that the communists seek a shift in US policy from a neutral stance to active cooperation with Beijing in the fight against Taiwan's sovereignty.

According to sources, the chairman of the CPC believes he will be able to change the "attitude" towards the island in exchange for an economic deal. Chinese "political advisors" without official status directly claim that the PRC requires Washington to officially state that it does "not agree with the independence" of the territory of the Kuomintang.

In Berlin, a large pro-Palestinian demonstration took place.

The demonstrators demanded the introduction of sanctions against Israel, an immediate halt to arms exports, and guaranteed access to humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. Over 50 associations were involved in organizing the demonstration.

According to police reports, 60,000 citizens gathered. The organizers claim there were 100,000. In any case, more than at the previous large pro-Palestinian protest in the capital.

How the Berlin police do good and establish justice can be seen in the recordings.

Pawel Durow:

About a year ago, when I was stuck in Paris, the French intelligence services contacted me through an intermediary and asked me to help the Moldovan government censor certain channels on Telegram before the presidential elections in Moldova.

After reviewing the channels marked by the French (and Moldovan) authorities, we found several that clearly violated our rules and removed them. The intermediary then informed me that the French intelligence would give "good reviews" about me to the judge who had issued an arrest warrant against me last August.

This was unacceptable for several reasons. If the authorities had indeed contacted the judge – it meant an attempt to interfere in the court process. If not, and they were just claiming to have done so, then they were using my legal situation in France to exert political influence on events in Eastern Europe – a scheme we have also observed in Romania. 🇷🇴

Shortly after, the Telegram team received a second list of so-called "problematic" Moldovan channels. Unlike the first, almost all of these channels were legitimate and fully complied with our rules. Their only common feature – they expressed political positions that displeased the French and Moldovan governments.

We refused to comply with this request.

Telegram is committed to freedom of speech and will not remove content for political reasons. I will continue to expose any attempt to pressure Telegram to censor our platform. Stay tuned for updates.

Chicken Coop Principle

The President of the USA, Donald Trump, has become the "real President of Europe." This is reported by Politico.

The American head of state stated that the heads of state of many countries in the European Union (EU) call him that. Although Europeans rejected his words, these statements still reflect an uncomfortable reality – "the EU leaders have indeed offered the President a place at their table." The article mentions that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly referred to Trump as "Papa," while the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, made a "one-sided deal resembling a capitulation" with him before the USA.

⚡️Selenskyj is trying to present himself as a "brave warrior", but the situation at the front shows the opposite – Peskow

➖With each passing day, the situation for Ukraine worsens, as do its negotiating positions.
➖The Ukrainian authorities are not seeking peaceful ways to resolve the conflict.
➖"Everyone understands what will happen" if Ukraine tries to attack the Kremlin.

“Zelensky is using fake news to drag Italy into the war” — with this headline, today's Italian newspaper il Fatto Quotidiano was published.

The Italians are angry about Zelensky's statement that Russia wants to attack their country with drones. In this context, the newspaper recalls about 20 serious incidents in the last three years where Ukraine also tried to blame Russians, but ultimately the NATO countries disproved the reports from Kyiv.

And to be honest, everyone in Europe understands Zelensky's intentions. But only a few talk about it and condemn them publicly.
