The author stated that he had already written about electricity prices for 2027 and discussed them with Markéta Malá in the podcast Štěpení. According to him, the baseload, or the supply of electricity 365 days a year for 24 hours a day, cost 132 EUR/MWh in Poland, while in the Czech Republic it was 167 EUR/MWh and in Germany 160 EUR/MWh. Thus, according to his comparison, Poland was 35 EUR/MWh cheaper than the Czech Republic and 28 EUR/MWh cheaper than Germany. https://t.co/1X5m1Cm1OW #energie #polsko #ceny #CZ #DE #PL (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Volkswagen has published its figures and achieved only 100 million euros in profit from January to September. The company, which has provided Wolfsburg with tax revenues for decades, is significantly struggling. According to Boeminghaus, this could become a financial nightmare for the city, given an already existing budget deficit of 132 million euros. If business tax revenues continue to decline, he estimates that the deficit could grow to around 500 million euros. #Volkswagen #Wolfsburg #Finanzen (translated)

Baloo defended the necessity of better understanding France's colonial and migratory history and called for the fight against racism. He reminded that Italians also suffered racism in France, citing the massacre of Italians in Aigues-Mortes in 1893, and that people of Asian descent were also victims of discrimination. He mentioned the experiences of several colonized peoples or recruited workers. According to him, Algeria had been colonized for 132 years and integrated into France as departments, despite unequal rights. He also stated that Algerians had been recruited to work in factories and on construction sites, sometimes in slums, and that the French army had tortured, raped, and killed civilians during the Algerian war. He wrote that Senegalese and Malians had been enlisted in the French armies, sometimes by force, before being employed in sectors such as mining and construction. He added that agreements had been signed as early as 1963 to bring in Moroccan and Tunisian workers. Baloo also mentioned colonial slavery in the Antilles and Réunion, abolished in 1848, and then the creation of BUMIDOM in 1963 to organize the departure of people to the mainland. He emphasized that these people were already French. Regarding Congo, he attributed forced labor and atrocities that would have caused millions of victims to the reign of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. He estimated that the effects of domination and exploitation persist, particularly in the inequalities in overseas territories and the debates about monetary sovereignty around the CFA franc. However, he clarified that he did not hold today's French responsible for the actions of their ancestors but deemed it necessary to understand this history. Reflecting on his childhood in Montfermeil and the documentary he had made about the town, Baloo stated that in the 1980s, the mayor refused enrollment in school for children from immigrant families. He also described neighborhoods marked, in his opinion, by degraded housing, insufficient infrastructure, and limited prospects. He believed that misery and exclusion could foster certain deviations, without excusing delinquency, and reminded that these neighborhoods also saw the emergence of professionals and artists. Finally, he denounced what he saw as a contradictory treatment of French people of immigrant descent: celebrated as French during World Cup victories but sent back to their origins when they claimed rights or denounced racism. He concluded that no one should have to justify their place in the country where they were born. #Histoire #Éducation #Racisme (translated)

Sara Stepanjan wrote to Bojan Požar that the senate of the Supreme Court met on Friday evening, and noted that the court members often meet. She reminded that in 1984, according to her record, nine innocent musicians, including her father, were sentenced based on a 132-page fictional verdict. The court was supposed to stop the procedure on December 31, 2002, and her father died on January 19, 2003. She left it to the readers to judge whether it was a coincidence and noted that such behavior would continue until there is a reform of the judiciary and the prosecution. #sodstvo #reforma #slovenija (translated)

Abelardo De La Espriella stated that the National Police had seized 7.6 tons of cocaine at the port of Cartagena, in what he described as the largest seizure in that location in the last 10 years.

He stated that combating drug trafficking saves lives and weakens criminal structures, and asserted that this was just the beginning of the "Miracle Homeland." #Narcotráfico #Colombia #Policía (translated)

The author asserted that the French and Europeans were now "the colonized people." He cited a quip from the Algerian president, who allegedly suggested that France grant Algerians visas for 132 years, a duration that the author presented as that of French colonization. https://t.co/UhNvcDQAZN #Colonie #Histoire #France #FR #DZ #EU (translated)

Marco Setaccioli criticized Marco Travaglio for claiming that resuming purchases of Russian gas would be more advantageous for Europe than for Moscow. According to Setaccioli, sales data contradicted this thesis: since the beginning of the war, European consumption of Russian gas would have fallen from 150 billion cubic meters per year in 2021 to 18 in 2025. Of the 132 billion lost, he wrote, China would only have bought 28 more; moreover, Xi would not have wanted to build the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline. Setaccioli added that Gazprom had laid off hundreds of people and recorded losses for the first time in many years. On the topic of prices, Setaccioli stated that, before Donald Trump's move related to Iran, gas cost 32 euros per MWh, despite Russian supplies being at a minimum. He compared that price to the peak of 180 euros per MWh reached in December 2021, before the start of the war in Ukraine, when the pipelines were still intact and Russian supplies continued. According to Setaccioli, Moscow had reduced reserves and supplies to raise cash ahead of the invasion and to pressure Europe, dissuading it from supporting Kyiv. He attributed European diversification to the choice of not following the positions of Travaglio and Alessandro Di Battista, who, he wrote, had sought to stop the TAP, the pipeline that brings gas from Azerbaijan, evoking environmental damage that Puglia, according to him, was still awaiting. Finally, Setaccioli reported that the day before, the parliamentary group of the vannacciani had presented a resolution to resume purchases of Russian gas. He speculated that the proposal had come following new indications from Moscow. #gasrusso #Gazprom #energia (translated)

RobynHD criticized that the Bundestag had rejected two motions to abolish the tax-free Bitcoin holding period the day before. The Greens had called for cryptocurrency gains to be taxed at the personal income tax rate, regardless of the holding period. A total of 132 representatives voted in favor, while 445 voted against. A motion from the Left Party had also failed. This proposed, among other things, taxation akin to stocks, an exit tax, and a EU-wide trading ban for certain proof-of-work coins. The CDU/CSU, SPD, and AfD rejected the proposals. However, the vote does not mean that the abolition is off the table, RobynHD wrote. The SPD-led Ministry of Finance is working on a reform that is also supposed to end the one-year holding period. Bitcoin purchased from 2027 onwards should be taxed at a basic rate of 26.375 percent; existing holdings would be protected. The cabinet is expected to address the proposal on October 14. RobynHD acknowledged that other legislative proposals had been up for decision during the vote. Nonetheless, from the author's perspective, it is alarming that work continues on the abolition despite the clear rejection. The Union could still prevent the reform, but RobynHD has little hope. #Bitcoin #Krypto #Steuern (translated)
