I was drawing attention to an interview, a few hours ago, from The Economist, which is being released right now, with the leader of the AFD party in Germany, the German far-right party, Alice Weidel, who categorically states that, in the event of winning the elections, and this is not such an abstract scenario, so far removed from actually happening, she says that her policy is the policy of Germany first, Germany first, and that she views positively and states outright the cancellation of Germany's financial military support to Ukraine, noting that Germany was the country that has never contributed and therefore cannot continue to do so. #RelaçõesInternacionais #Ucrânia #Guerra (translated)

Today in the Military World stated that Ukraine was at risk of losing two of its biggest European allies. According to the author, Marine Le Pen was leading the presidential race in France and had said she would cut off financial aid to Ukraine if elected. He also wrote that Alice Weidel from the AfD promised to suspend aid if she became Chancellor of Germany. The author added that both supported resuming gas business with Putin's Russia. #Ucrânia #França #Alemanha (translated)

We need a new beginning for Germany. Also, Alice Weidel, co-chair of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), expressed solidarity with Bas but considered that the criticisms aimed at the CDU demonstrate that Merz's coalition government "is at an end." #Alemanha #BärbelBas #Luto (translated)

As a father and grandfather, I can only imagine the depth of the pain this loss represents. I wish you and your family much strength. Friedrich Merz thanked Bas for the "trust-based cooperation" in the government and expressed condolences to the minister. #Alemanha #BärbelBas #Luto (translated)

Personally, I understand this choice well. The attacks, precisely during the days of mourning, deeply affected me. They were indecent and offensive. It is not how we should treat each other. Lars Klingbeil, co-chairman of the SPD, vice-chancellor, and finance minister, lamented Bas's departure and condemned the criticisms directed at the leader while she was in mourning, classifying them as "indecent." #Alemanha #BärbelBas #Luto (translated)

The German Minister of Labor, Bärbel Bas, resigned from her positions after receiving criticism during the mourning for her stepdaughter's death, an act that provoked widespread condemnation in the government and raised questions about the deterioration of political debate in the country. #Alemanha #BärbelBas #Luto (translated)

Tekever, a Portuguese unicorn known for its drones, begins operations in Germany starting from Munich following a funding round of 518 million euros, aiming to establish a base for regional growth and strengthen its presence in the defense and security markets of the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). #Tekever #Unicórnio #ExpansãoEuropeia (translated)

The Minister of Labour, Rosário Palma Ramalho, stated that the flexibilization of labor regimes in European countries such as Germany and France is a necessary political prudence to address the challenges of artificial intelligence and the transition to the Economy 4.0, emphasizing that Portugal is lagging in this process. #InteligênciaArtificial #Trabalho #Flexibilização (translated)

Arthur Machado stated that what was happening in France was part of a project to weaken national sovereignties across Europe. According to him, after the Great Depression of 1929, neoliberals would have advocated for the end of nations as a way to reduce instability, transferring economic decisions to a global structure and leaving political and social management to the states. Machado said that tariffs bothered globalists because they presupposed borders and economic sovereignty. He also linked the proposal by Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan to strengthen Europe economically and militarily to Mario Draghi's plan, which he claimed sought to centralize European economic, financial, and military power. The author stated that the goal would be to transform Europe into a state, with an integrated financial system, army, common institutions, and centralized power, reducing the full sovereignty of France, Germany, and other countries. He attributed this project to liberals and described it as a transfer of power from nations to supranational structures. #França #Globalismo #SoberaniaNacional (translated)

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has been criticized for his presence at the celebration of Vladimir Putin's 74th birthday, while the war in Ukraine continues to cause the deaths of children, generating condemnation from political figures in Germany. #GuerraNaUcrânia #Putin #GerhardSchröder (translated)

Elias Jabbour wrote that, a day after a student protest against Flávio Bolsonaro, students from UFPE received threats in his name that mentioned a bomb. Hours later, according to Jabbour, a large fire hit the university's Innovation Directorate, responsible for intellectual property and technology transfer. He stated that the fire destroyed samples of research on cancer, autism, and COVID, as well as years of work from master's, doctoral, and post-doctoral students, attributing the destruction to intolerance and denialism. Jabbour called for an immediate investigation by the Federal Police and the Federal Public Ministry. The author also stated that the affected location was symbolic for transforming knowledge into patents, technology, and industry. In his assessment, countries like China, Japan, Germany, and Norway had understood the importance of strong universities and state planning in science and technology, while treating the university as an enemy would leave Brazil in a peripheral position. #Fascismo #Educação #Ciência (translated)

Biazita Gomes wrote that, one month after assuming power, Hitler declared a state of emergency in Germany and then emptied the country's Supreme Court. She stated that, by dominating Parliament, he approved a law that exempted his decisions from going through the legislative house and questioned whether that wouldn’t be a good day to study a bit of history. #história #históriadomundo #segundaGuerraMundial (translated)
