This would mean four years without salary increases, he explained. However, the global salary freeze has not yet been decided. Boeminghaus said that this would make people poorer while inflation is currently rising faster. He cited a report from Handelsblatt dated October 19, 2026, as the source. https://t.co/mcUUYbyeRN #Volkswagen #Gehaltsstopp #Autoindustrie (translated)

Florian Warweg stated that the federal government has since confirmed that pensioners in Russia have 200 euros deducted from their pensions each month. When he inquired at the government press conference in September, he was initially told that this was merely his claim. As evidence, Warweg referred to a subsequent statement from the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs regarding questions from the government press conferences on September 28 and October 5, 2026. The ministry stated that fees would be deducted for transfers of statutory pensions from Germany to accounts at Raiffeisen Bank International AG in Russia. The bank justified this with higher compliance risks and additional auditing and processing efforts. Despite efforts, alternative payment methods that could avoid the fees have not been found. According to the statement, statutory pensions would be transferred free of charge within the SEPA area. For payments outside this area, the benefit provider bears the costs up to the commissioned financial institution; fees from further correspondent banks are not covered by the German Pension Insurance or the Pension Service. Affected individuals could have their pension transferred to an account in another country, provided they meet the personal requirements and can set up an account there, according to the ministry. Warweg asked why the ministry initially labeled the deduction as an unfounded claim and then acknowledged it about two weeks later. He noted that the ministry had provided the supplementary information, while the Foreign Office, despite a commitment, had not sent any follow-up and later declared itself not responsible. The inquiry was about what advice it would give to affected German pensioners in Russia. #Rentner #Bundesregierung #Russland (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus reported, citing a communication from the ifo Institute dated October 19, 2026, that between the end of 2018 and the end of 2025, Germany had lost 496,000 industrial jobs, a decrease of 7.1 percent. The automobile industry and its suppliers were particularly affected with 123,500 positions, the metal industry with 115,600, and mechanical engineering with 64,500. Including temporary jobs, the institute estimates the loss at around 628,000 positions. According to Boeminghaus, the job losses affected all federal states except for Hamburg. In the east, the loss was 8.4 percent, while in the west it was 6.8 percent. At the same time, more than 2.2 million jobs were added in the service sector, including 391,000 in healthcare, 357,000 in social services, and 329,000 in public administration. Boeminghaus pointed to the warning from ifo researcher Joachim Ragnitz, who stated that the loss of productive and innovative industrial jobs could slow down Germany's growth potential in the long term. https://t.co/5fFlHn6fnZ #Industrie #Arbeitsplätze #Deutschland (translated)
Joan Laporta stated that a team could not rely on several players dominating the locker room and that collective cohesion was essential for the success of a project. He presented the chemistry between the talents of FC Barcelona, the players from La Masia, and those from other football cultures as a strength of the club, which he attributed to the work of the coach and the sporting director. Laporta contrasted this approach with that of Real Madrid, which he accused of favoring individual stars and big transfers. He claimed that the Madrid club had lost its credibility and was spreading lies about the Negreira case in an attempt to defend it. He also stated that Real Madrid had not won anything in two years, while Barcelona was winning and could contend for all titles. #FCBarcelona #Équipe #Football (translated)
