I drove to Nancy today for a little outing and as I was leaving, the main pedestrian area was swarming with Gendarmerie, a lot of stores boarded up and the front entrances to the shopping centre closed off. Kinda crazy to watch!

Es passt so gut zur CDU, dass sie Spahns Offenheit nach rechts außen, die Maskenbeschaffung bei einer Firma, für die sein Mann arbeitete, den gesamten Maskenskandal, den fragwürdigen Kredit für seine Villa, Spendendinner für 9.999 Euro durchgehen lassen – aber bei einer Leihmutter die Grenze ziehen.
