Nobody is surprised. The FDP knows exactly what they’re doing, which is make as much politics blatantly in favour of their donors as long as they’re in power. They don’t care about what that does to the general populace or even how they’re perceived for it. One or two elections later everyone will have basically forgotten about it again anyway and the whole shtick repeats.
There have been numerous reports about EU officials/MPs considering stripping Hungary of its voting rights preceding this. So most likely Orban as just beenade aware that there’s a limit to which degree he can block stuff while still being allowed to play ball.
Well, other EU countries already sell insect-based food countries.and I’m not sure to what degree they can completely ignore the EU regulations.

Some day, sure. But we need reliable and clean energy now, not in the distant future.
Exactly! That is why renewable energy (+storage) is the only solution a they are both significantly quicker to build up and significantly cheaper than nuclear already and getting ever more competitive, while the running costs for nuclear have been at the same relatively high level for ages.
If we are the only ones imposing climate regulation, businesses and industries will move abroad where it’s cheaper to operate
What are you even talking about exactly. EU regulations for what cars are allowed will be exactly the same whether the cars are manufactured in the EU or elsewhere. And carmakers already have different factories in different regions of the world to serve each market.
Honestly, without some strict rules for European and US car manufacturers to get their shit together, they’re only going to fall ever further behind China, which has the biggest EV manufacturer already. Fossil fuel burning combustion engines don’t have any future anyway, because fossil fuels are finite, the climate crisis is accelerating ever further and EV are getting more and more competitive (they’re already cheaper in the long run for mid and higher class cars). Carmakers aren’t being done any favours by allowing them to drag their feet and become ever more obsolete.
Yes, they aren’t dumb enough to attend it in person precisely to avoid it falling back on them in a court of law. That’s my whole point. Everybody with half a brain can still see what’s going on of course.
Thanks! Will take a look.
In combination with these and many more statements made by high ranking AfD members there is no plausible deniability left.
Well, that certainly is a much better and more comprehensive point. It’s also just a claim of course and personally I don’t have a good enough overview of all the statements made, their relations etc to meaningfully judge that.
You’re free to expand on that point in more detail of course. Other than that, I can’t meaningfull contribute much here at this point.
Who’s “they”? The afd related person sitting most closely to the Afd leadership was “let go” from his position in response to the revelations. And all of them claim they were there in private capacity.
Without further evidence that is hardly worth all that much in front of a court.
that is in davger of being “conquered” by inferior races that have to be deported or murdered to prevent this alleged conquest.
While that’s a common talking point on the right, that’s not even what the statement is saying. The only ones who are clearly villified in it are the people in power and they’re even brandished as supposedly “unconstitutional” (implying the Afd is on the side of the constitution).
It’s still complete hogwash of course and pure conspiracy thinking that is gross and detestable in several different ways.
The point is that their ideology gives way to murderous violence.
I don’t disagree. My point is only that just saying/claiming that by itself isn’t going to hold up in court. If it were, Weidel would have long been sued and found guilty of “Volksverhetzung” for statements like that. But these people, at least the more cunning ones, know how to couch their hate in words that generate some degree of plausible deniability and let their followers fill out the blanks.
It is classic Nazi rhetoric and uses the same scapegoat that Anders Breivik used to justify the mass murder of more than 70 teenagers in Norway.
It’s awful, but I’m not sure how exactly you think that would factor in or be relevant in a possible court case. I’m fairly certain the bar of evidence is a bit higher than “they share talking points with other Nazis”.
Yes, because doing it right now or waiting until it’s entirely too late are the only two options. Not sure what that post is trying to accomplish.
And yet they don’t want to initiate the procedure to ban the fascist part
I’m for doing that in general, but I think doing that now would be pretty dumb. If you want to initiate the procedure you better make sure your case is air tight, everything else would be a desaster. Only some regional organizations have been designated extremist so far and some only recently. So a lot of the gathering of evidence has started and surely there will be more to come.
If I spend 100€ now to avoid 10000€ in damages later, spending more money NOW will actually leave me with LESS debt in the long run. And we just so happen to be in the midst of a global catastrophe where every Euro not spent as early as possible to prevent it will make it infinitely more expensive for us in the long run.
SPD, FDP and Greens also want a #klimageld. Comes 2025.
Well, about that… https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/gesellschaft/klimageld-106.html
“Yeah, the affluent people can come on over, climate be damned, oh and also please take in our refugees while you’re at it.”
Absolutely despicable ghouls.
Indigenous groups have always fairly reliably voted KMT. The DPP tends to have much more progressive policies and portray themselves as more concerned about the indigenous struggle. But the KMT being the direct successor of the authoritarian government that ruled Taiwan for decades tends to have much deeper local structures and have thus been present in indigenous territories much more/for much longer.
(Also portraying the parties as Chinese or Taiwanese nationalists probably is a bit strong, as they’ve both moved towards more moderate, pro-status quo positions, although from different ends of the spectrum)
