The author noted that Pedro Passos Coelho would give an interview to Maria João Avillez on SIC Notícias, between 9 PM and 10 PM, and argued that his governance should be reassessed in light of the financial conditions he encountered. According to the author, Portugal had already requested external assistance when Passos Coelho arrived at the Government in 2011, and the adjustment program of 78 billion euros had been negotiated before he took office. He maintained that during the legislature, exports rose from about one-third of GDP to nearly 40% in 2015, including tourism, and that the tourism sector gained strategic momentum. Regarding privatizations, he acknowledged that some operations were questionable and warranted scrutiny but argued that they allowed the collection of billions of euros, the amortization of public debt, and reduce financing needs and interest burdens. He also considered that cuts in the public sector were painful but questioned what the alternatives would have been when the State could no longer finance itself normally. The author further highlighted that Portugal completed the financial assistance program in 2014 and returned to market financing without a precautionary program, recovering, in his view, decision-making leeway. He stated that Passos Coelho was the most relevant politician of the century in Portugal for having made unpopular decisions and contributed to an economic change whose effects surpassed his Government. #Portugal #Política #Economia (translated)

Young people need to know that with their effort and work they can achieve more. González, the wife of the former British Deputy Prime Minister between 2010 and 2015, the liberal Nick Clegg, also present at her debut as a candidate, has assured that she is running for election because she has "a monumental debt to pay back to the country" that allowed a granddaughter of farmers from Olmedo (Valladolid) to study in Belgium with a scholarship. #Democracia21 #MiriamGonzález #EleccionesGenerales (translated)

Vojtěch Pečka wrote that Donald Trump stated yesterday in New York that the planet has begun to cool. Pečka, on the other hand, noted that the years 2015 to 2025 have been the hottest eleven-year period in recorded history. He labeled the election of Trump twice by the United States, as well as the number of officials who he believes pretend that this is acceptable, as signs of the irrationality and decline of the West. https://t.co/MB5Sx8Fdi9 #klima #Trump #pokrok (translated)

He said he had known Georgescu since 2010, if he remembered correctly, although many only heard about him during the 2024 elections.

Joan Larroumec presented the tensions between France and Germany as a result of increasing competition, particularly in the defense industry. He indicated that Berlin planned military spending of €108 billion in 2026, compared to €57 billion for Paris, and nearly €140 billion in 2027. According to him, Germany was seeking to use these expenditures as a lever for economic transformation, while its historical industrial model was weakened. Larroumec notably cited the decline in German exports to China, which he claimed fell from €106 billion in 2022 to €81 billion in 2025, as well as a reduction of 142,400 jobs in the German automotive industry since 2019. He also wrote that German defense start-ups had received $3.5 billion in investments in 2026, compared to $375 million in France, and that Berlin had concluded a framework agreement with Helsing and Stark that could reach €4.3 billion. He estimated that this strategy heightened rivalries between the two countries and jeopardized their joint programs. He reported that Paris and Berlin acknowledged on June 8 that the SCAF could not be successfully executed, and that the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces announced Germany's abandonment of the MGCS tank program. He also mentioned competition in drones, artificial intelligence, and space, where, according to him, Germany was seeking to reduce France's position. Finally, Larroumec argued that France's financial difficulties limited its ability to invest in defense and risked weakening its industry. He stated that French and German interests were becoming increasingly misaligned and that this situation could lead to chaotic episodes in Europe. #France #Allemagne #Défense (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann reported, citing the spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg, that the 27-year-old Afghan entered Germany in December 2015 and applied for asylum. The BAMF rejected the application in January 2018 and threatened deportation to Afghanistan. A lawsuit by the man was dismissed by the administrative court in July 2021. Since then, he has been subject to enforceable deportation. Because deportations to Afghanistan were suspended from August 2021, he initially remained in Germany. After the federal government, under Interior Minister Dobrindt, organized regular deportations to Afghanistan again and obtained replacement documents more frequently, the government presidency of Karlsruhe initiated a passport procurement procedure for the man. His identity had been unclear until then. In early October, the local regulatory office delivered him a letter asking him to report to the General Consulate of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in mid-October. This did not happen. It is still unclear whether this is related to the incident in the Tuttlingen town hall, where the man appeared with a firearm and was shot by police officers after allegedly firing at them first, Kussmann wrote. According to Kussmann, the man had been convicted in Germany of bodily harm, trespassing, property damage, theft, and threats, resulting in fines. From October 2025 to April 2026, he served a substitute prison sentence. He was not registered with the special unit for dangerous foreigners in Baden-Württemberg. #Tuttlingen #Asylrecht #InnereSicherheit (translated)

Jonatan Pallesen wrote to Rasmus Jarlov that Jarlov voted in 2015 to grant citizenship to 5,365 people from outside Europe as well as 4,210 children who accompanied them. Pallesen wrote that this might have been the largest number ever granted through a legislative proposal. Pallesen suggested that Jarlov could write if he now regretted his vote. He encouraged him to describe that mass grants of citizenship, according to Pallesen, had the serious consequence that career criminals among foreigners could not be deported, and that it had led to many victims of violence and sexual assault. He also suggested that Jarlov call the grant a mistake and expressed hope that the Danish Parliament would avoid repeating it. #statsborgerskab #udlændinge #politikk (translated)

Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)

I was sitting with my friend in the sauna of my residence, suddenly it started to burn. I said, 'Gerhard, it's burning, we have to get out of here.' He said, 'I'm sorry, but I'll finish my beer first.' I said, 'Are you crazy? It's on fire, we have to get out of here.' But he is a man of iron. In fact, he finished his beer and only then did we leave. The sauna burned down to the walls. In 2015, for example, when Putin was asked during the annual Russian public television program 'Direct Line' if he preferred the sauna to classic conference tables, he recalled an anecdote in which "I was sitting with my friend in the sauna of my residence, suddenly it started to burn. I said, 'Gerhard, it's burning, we have to get out of here.' He said, 'I'm sorry, but I'll finish my beer first.' I said, 'Are you crazy? It's on fire, we have to get out of here.'
