Laudelino said that he was closely following the situation in France, a country where he worked for a French company, studied the language, and had friends. In his assessment, the French situation resembled that of Brazil: although he considered the people good, he stated that they had lost the means to have their will respected. He wrote that in both countries, the parties, the press, and the state apparatus were leftist and that representative democracy had failed, leaving the interests of the population as a secondary concern. He also mentioned that there were already discussions about restoring the monarchy in France. Regarding French politics, he noted that Marie le Pen, a right-wing candidate, was emerging as the favorite, while the political structure resisted the possibility of losing space or rights. According to Laudelino, the French state consumed 57% of GDP per year, and since Mitterrand, the political proposal had been to continue spending and raising taxes. He stated that France was a Christian country but had become socialist and, for that reason, was bankrupt. As a solution for France and Brazil, he pointed to the past and cited Vendée, Louis IX, and Joan of Arc, in addition to criticizing the French Revolution, Bonapartism, and socialism. In conclusion, he said that the problem of both countries was the "software." #França #Democracia #História (translated)

Vahrenholt wrote that the political actions of the EU and Germany have exacerbated the impending gas shortage situation. The planned restructuring of gas imports according to climate standards could lead to the USA, Nigeria, and Qatar offering their supplies to other buyers. Environment Minister Schneider stated that politics can set standards. Vahrenholt criticized that climate protection is thereby put ahead of providing warm homes. He attributed the increase in electricity network charges to the energy transition. A 24 percent increase in 2027 is a sign of further rising electricity prices. Citing an EWI study from 2024, he mentioned long-term possible network charges of 13.5 €ct/kWh for industry instead of the current 2.86 €ct/kWh, as well as 27 €ct/kWh for households instead of 9.2 €ct/kWh. He wrote that these costs are unaffordable for citizens and threaten industry in Germany, and he called for the energy transition to be stopped. https://t.co/WTTq25RXMl #Energiewende #Klimapolitik #Strompreise (translated)
