France, Germany, Britain, and the EU have a lot in common these days: 👉Huge pressure on executives 👉Unpopular leadership 👉Rightward shifts in voting behavior In all, a similar phenomenon complicates majority-building: voters are divided into 3 blocks of roughly equal size 👇

Dass Menschen im heutigen Frankreich so schlecht Deutsch sprechen, hat vor allem mit zu tun, dass Englisch eine massive Vormachtstellung im frz. Schulsystem genießt. 🙃 Unklar bleibt dabei allein, ob Leavitts Äußerung als eher frankophob oder eher germanophob zu deuten sei.

Clear patterns in the youngest and oldest 🇩🇪 cohorts On the left, the Bundestag if only 18-24 year-olds voted: 🔴 Linke + 🔴 SPD + 🟢 Grüne hold a slight majority On the right, the Bundestag if only 70+ year-olds voted: ⚫️ CDU/CSU + 🟡 FDP would not need any 3rd partner

Very interesting to look at the age distribution in the exit poll. The SPD which already did very poorly with young voters last time continues to loose further there - a party of pensioners. Interestingly, also huge losses for the Greens among young voters and massive gains for the Linke.

A lot of speculation why Trump is doing what he is. As I told @kyivindependent.com @chrisdyork.bsky.social on Thurs, there’s 3 options 1. Putting Europeans on notice (unlikely) 2. Splitting Russia from China (misguided) 3. Embracing the Dark side (nightmare). kyivindependent.com/how-ukraine-...

In the 2024 campaign, Musk donated $288M. You may think this was a major investment. It wasn't. $288M is 0.066% of Musk's wealth, akin to a $74 donation for a median U.S. household. Musk's only trick: His wealth is 4 million times higher than the median. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Elon Musk donated $288 million in 2024 election, final tally shows

The official count of Musk’s donations further cemented him as the country’s largest -— and most prominent — donor.

So far Merz's move has had little demoscopic effect. It has, however, fueled left-right polarization, with hundreds of thousands on the left taking to the street to protest against the center-right. This suggests that Merz (i) knows his base and (ii) is ready to break with political tradition.

Российские власти приняли беспрецедентное решение о прекращении аккредитации московского корреспондента Le Monde Бенжамена Кенеля. С 1957 года сменяющиеся друг друга журналисты издания позволяли читателям следить за политической, экономической и социальной жизнью этой ключевой геополитической державы — как во времена СССР, так и в наши дни. Теперь же, впервые за почти 70 лет, Le Monde лишается возможности напрямую освещать события в России.

Работать в стране и разбираться в её внутренней жизни — непростая, но необходимая задача. Это позволяет понять, как устроено российское общество, каковы его отношения с властью Владимира Путина и какие альянсы он выстраивает на международной арене. Уже несколько лет иностранным журналистам приходится работать в условиях всё больших ограничений, а независимые российские медиа подвергаются постоянным преследованиям и часто вынуждены покинуть страну. Лишение аккредитации нашего корреспондента — ещё одно подтверждение того, что руководство страны не хочет, чтобы журналисты выполняли свою основную миссию : информировать.

Редакция Le Monde выражает полную поддержку Бенжамену Кенелю и присоединяется к протесту руководства издания против этого несправедливого решения властей России

Self-proclaimed minimal-state advocates promoting authoritarian rule. Self-proclaimed free-market capitalists putting the richest of their kind in power. Self-proclaimed libertarians cracking down on academic freedom. Trumpism may be to liberalism what Stalinism was to socialism.

As far as I know, this is absolutely unprecedented in recent decades in any democratically ruled polity. Well-accepted *scientific* concepts being censored away from and by a government-affiliated body.

Here is what Germany's regional coalitions could look like were the CDU/CSU to abandon their “firewall” policy vis-à-vis the AfD. Except for 3 city-states, not a single region would avoid a CDU-AfD government. In most of the East, AfD officials could even serve as regional presidents.

Durchaus bemerkenswert, welche Konfliktlinien sich da innerhalb Springers auftun und dass die Redaktion (+Leitung) der WELT zumindest in Teilen noch rechter ist als die der BILD.
