Selected citizens have given insights into their state of mind for this “report on the quality of life”. For the respondents, the “good life” includes, above all, the absence of war and decent pay. Who would have thought that? So the ideas of the “good life” did not seem to be as post-material as it is often claimed. The whole…

Friedrich Merz has now been elected by the grassroots and the CDU leadership as the new CDU chairman, who could also be the next candidate for Federal Chancellor.

Friedrich Merz ist nun von der Basis und der CDU-Führung zum neuen CDU-Vorsitzenden gewählt worden, der auch den nächsten Bundeskanzlerkandidaten abgeben könnte. Viele Linke erwarten jetzt aufgrund der Ankündigung von Merz, Wähler der AfD zurückholen zu wollen, rechtsradikale und völkische Slogans, eine Ordnungszelle 2.0  Bayern ala Kahr oder Schlimmeres. Nichts könnte fälscher sein. Friedrich Merz ist im Kern erst einmal ein Neoliberaler, dann ein Wertekonservativer. Merzens  Strategie besteht erst einmal darin die neoliberalen Teile der AfD und der FDP samt…

Europe’s far-right has so far been divided. But now the AfD is looking for its place in a future united front of right-wing populists. The biggest obstacle of the EU opponents in the European Parliament for a common group: the „Russophobia“ of the Eastern European right.

Autor: Thomas von der Osten-Sacken Für die Menschen in Syrien kann man nur hoffen, dass die Luftschläge gegen Produktionsstätten für Chemiewaffen In Syrien ebenso erfolgreich waren, wie jene gegen den irakischen Reaktor Osirak im Jahr 1981 – und dass dies auch bei möglichen Interventionen gegen das iranische Atomprogramm der Fall sein möge. Da sich in Zeiten, in denen das Assad-Regime erneut hofiert wird und kaum noch berichtet wird von dem Elend, der Gewalt und Unterdrückung, die in Syrien herrscht, vermutlich…

While the danger of a great war is real because of the Russian troops marching up on the Ukrainian border, Europe is threatened with trouble again in the Balkans. The leadership of the Bosnian Serbs wants to terminate the agreement that ended the Bosnian War in 1995. A repetition of this bloody nightmare is unlikely, but a breakup of Bosnia-Herzegovina would result in a destabilization of the entire region with political consequences that are difficult to assess.
