Immer wieder versucht die AfD Bildungsinstitutionen unter Druck zu setzen, indem sie ihnen fehlende Neutralität vorwirft. So zuletzt an der TU in Berlin. Dieser Fall fügt sich in das Bild autoritärer Bedrohungen der Wissenschaft, meint MAX LENZ. verfassungsblog.de/vorauseilend...

Quote: “To hold such tools is to hold a general-purpose instrument of productivity, scientific discovery and economic advantage; to be cut off from them is to be relegated, quite literally, to a slower and less prosperous future, left to compete against rivals who think, code and defend themselves at a speed one cannot match.”

If Hungary is at the forefront of attacking the rule of law in Europe, Germany is emerging as the main protagonist in dismantling EU climate governance. Politically and economically wrong, and in open contradiction to what the International Court of Justice held in its climate advisory opinion.

Surrounded by her parents and siblings in the family home, she hoped they could finally enjoy the festive mood of Ramadan. Continue reading...
