Der Politologe Oliviero Angeli vom @forum-midem.bsky.social sieht das Kneipensterben als schlechtes Zeichen für die #Demokratie. 🍻 Kneipen seien Infrastruktur gegen Polarisierung, wo Menschen über konkrete Probleme sprechen. Ohne Kneipen gingen diese Räume verloren. ℹ️ www.zeit.de/news/2026-06...

An informative article (in German) examines why EU countries declare a 'state of emergency' on asylum (with data on arrivals). I shared insights on how this narrative is a tool for radical right parties: in power, to push legal boundaries; out of power, to fuel fears and demand drastic measures.
