Stefan Evers wrote that the planned left-wing coalition aims to grant voting rights to people after five years of residence, even without German citizenship. From his point of view, this means a renunciation of integration and accelerates illegal migration. Moreover, the plan shows how and with whom the Left wants to secure its power in the future. #Wahlrecht #Integration #Migration (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Eurowings intends to cut five percent of its planned flight program due to high fuel costs. The newly launched routes from Cologne and Stuttgart to Dubai would be discontinued, while the route from Berlin would remain unchanged. The Lufthansa subsidiary is considering short-time work for the winter and is already in discussions with the Federal Employment Agency, according to Boeminghaus. In addition, administrative costs should be reduced, and the Christmas party should be canceled. The Verdi union is demanding a possible increase in short-time work benefits. Boeminghaus noted that the cuts are planned despite the continued profits of the Lufthansa Group. https://t.co/Et6FagCpdw #Eurowings #Luftfahrt #Kurzarbeit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus stated that BMW plans to cut around 8,000 jobs by the end of 2027 and save one billion euros annually starting in 2028, according to company circles. Individual severance payments could exceed 650,000 euros. Due to high interest, the employee portal temporarily crashed. Boeminghaus cited a sales crisis as the reason: BMW deliveries in China fell by about 25 percent in the third quarter of 2026. The company had already issued a profit warning in June. The voluntary severance program provides for exit dates in March and October 2027. Boeminghaus interpreted the strong demand as a sign that many employees are willing to leave voluntarily despite the difficult situation in the German automotive industry. https://t.co/2O6jCz1zCQ #BMW #Stellenabbau #Automobilindustrie (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Ryanair is further reducing its commitment in Germany. In an interview with manager magazine on October 15, 2026, airline chief Eddie Wilson criticized the economic conditions at Berlin airport and stated that airlines were "burning money" there. Wilson mentioned high taxes and fees as reasons why investments were becoming increasingly less worthwhile. He also urged the federal government to lower costs for airlines and warned against making Germany's air supply too dependent on Lufthansa. https://t.co/GyIenpXSZP #Luftfahrt #Ryanair #StandortDeutschland (translated)
Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German industry is increasingly relocating production abroad. He referred to a recent Forsa survey of 150 managing directors: according to this, 15 percent of industrial companies have relocated or planned to relocate their production abroad. Among companies with more than 100 million euros in revenue, this figure is 31 percent; 21 percent are reducing production capacities in Germany. According to Boeminghaus, 83 percent of respondents see the high costs in Germany as a major problem, with 100 percent in the automotive industry. He mentioned Miele, which is relocating parts of its washing machine production to Poland, and Bizerba, which concentrates production capacities in Serbia. Although companies continue to invest, according to Boeminghaus, they are increasingly doing so outside Germany, where they find better economic conditions. As a source, he cited Handelsblatt from October 16, 2026. https://t.co/DTiUyKeUwN #Industrie #Mittelstand #Abwanderung (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus pointed to a significant rise in heating oil prices in Switzerland and warned of supply shortages. In the Bern region, heating oil now costs around 171 Swiss francs per 100 liters, compared to about 98 francs the previous year. About one in three residential buildings in Switzerland is heated with heating oil, he wrote. As indications of the tense supply situation, Boeminghaus cited the Rhine water level at Kaub, which was at ten centimeters on October 15, as well as nearly 80 percent lower quantities of mineral oil in the Basel ports in August compared to the previous year. The kerosene supply is also strained. The historical low water levels increasingly threaten energy supply and drive up transport costs, he wrote, referring to Handelsblatt. https://t.co/RAFhIoEyOv #Heizöl #Schweiz #Energieversorgung (translated)
