The biggest problem is not BDW (the acronym of the Prime Minister, Bart De Wever) or BTW (VAT in Dutch) but perhaps GLB," said Mr. Prévot, paraphrasing Mr. Bouchez who was interviewed Thursday by VTM. The seriousness of the budgetary and financial situation requires that solutions be found. We must accept to make choices that are not pleasant but are necessary for the interest of the country," emphasized Mr. Prévot. We cannot exclude it but I hope that everyone today comes to the table with a constructive spirit. #NégociationsBudgétaires #MaximePrévot #GeorgesLouisBouchez (translated)

The user sparbookfoes wrote that the federal government, consisting of the Union and SPD, is planning another tax increase despite their agreement in the coalition contract against tax hikes: the tobacco tax is set to rise. A pack of Marlboro cigarettes with 20 cigarettes currently costs 9.40 euros; according to him, the price will be around 10.50 euros in 2027 and about 12.10 euros in 2030. The specific additional state revenues are difficult to predict. The German Customs and Finance Union (BDZ) predicts that more and more smokers will turn to the black market, he wrote. #Steuern #Tabaksteuer #Rauchen (translated)

This was stated by the founder of Amazon and the space company Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos. "This time we are going to the Moon to stay, and we will do it at lower costs," Bezos said yesterday to Fox News. It will not just be another mission after which we return home. It will be a real, sustainable lunar base from which we can explore the Moon and discover interesting things. Bezos compared today's commercial space flights to the lunar program of 1969 and reminded that nearly three percent of the then American GDP was needed for that first endeavor. He emphasized that establishing a system for regular cargo delivery remains a key prerequisite for landing astronauts. There are every reason to believe that we will be able to send people to the Moon by 2028. Bezos specifically highlighted the strategic competition with China and stated that Washington must be faster than Beijing. We must beat China in the return to the Moon. I believe we will succeed in that. Working on the Moon's surface requires 28 times less energy to lift cargo due to lower gravity, and the Moon also offers an abundance of local resources. Bezos briefly reflected on artificial intelligence and advocated for targeted limitations instead of strict regulation of fundamental models. #Mjesec #NASA #JeffBezos (translated)

The newspaper P – Paukner Media claimed that the Kolín company Draslovka continued to operate in the Russian market despite a statement from March 2022 about halting supplies to Russia. It identified Jan Dobrovský as a co-owner, describing him as a significant supporter of the STAN movement and other politicians. The author stated that according to a study by the Russian institute Агентство Плодородия, Draslovka's exports to Russia increased from 300 tons of pesticides worth $500,000 in 2021 to 1,000 tons for $1.9 million in 2022. Records from the customs database Volza reportedly also captured shipments of the product Retacel 750 in 2022, including three shipments of 21,396 units, valued at $49,817.25, $49,414.29, and $49,168.93. The post further claimed that Draslovka made additional supplies in 2023 and obtained an extension of its license to sell pesticides in Russia until 2034 in 2024. According to the author, the company collaborated with Russian authorities during the licensing process, and its products were sold to both farmers and retail in Russia. The newspaper P – Paukner Media also stated that the owners of Draslovka and Dobrovský supported political entities and personalities that, according to him, acted against Russia. It attributed a donation of over 300,000 crowns to Dobrovský for Petr Pavel and noted that the group BPD Partners was the largest patron of STAN. In 2025, Dobrovský was reported to contribute 1.7 million crowns to the movement from his own funds. The author also mentioned support for the coalition SPOLU, Danuše Nerudová, and Jan Farský. The post criticized the contradiction between the declared termination of operations in Russia and the described supplies and licensing process. It noted that neither the group BPD Partners nor Draslovka responded to its inquiries about business in Russia. It also asked whether STAN or the coalition SPOLU would take a stance on their supporter’s business activities. #RuskáFederace #Politika #STAN (translated)
