🇩🇪🔽Green Policies Sends ‘Sick Man Of Europe’ Towards Recession

Berlin’s energy policies have the economy teetering on the brink of recession as once one of the world’s strongest becomes the worst performing of any leading nation in the world, according to IMF stats.

“Unfortunately, 2023 will be a year of recession,” opposition leader Fredrich Merz told Bild am Sonntag. “If the insane amount of bureaucracy isn’t stopped soon, if energy prices don’t fall quickly, then 2024 won’t be a good year either.”

The populist leader vowed to “lower the tax and levy burden on energy”, “immediately reconnect decommissioned nuclear power plants to the grid”, and “adopt a moratorium on bureaucracy,” a move supported by some as a recent poll found 73% of Germans are unhappy with the current coalition government.

🇱🇹🇷🇺Dad Takes Daughter Home, Lithuania Claims Kidnap

A Russian-Lithuanian dual national who took his newly-born daughter to Kaliningrad in Russia after crossing the border has sparked Vilnius into action who now consider the incident a “child abduction.”

Authorities are upset that the man took the child to “an unfriendly country” - despite admitting he “has a dwelling of his own” and is “taking care of” his daughter there.

Border guards on the border have been criticised for not handling the situation properly.

Since when did family issues become so politicised?
