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)

Emanuel Boeminghaus warned that German gastronomy is in decline and with it, a part of German culture is being lost. Since 2019, sales nationwide have fallen by 21 percent, in Berlin even by 28 percent. McDonald's and other large chains, on the other hand, have increased by more than 13 percent. Traditional gastronomy is increasingly under pressure, while large chains are expanding; an end to this development is not in sight, Boeminghaus wrote. He spoke about this with Metin, who has worked in Berlin's gastronomy for over 40 years and is experiencing the decline firsthand. Boeminghaus referred to a new video about it on YouTube. https://t.co/HY8a92MKfh #Gastronomie #Kultur #Berlin (translated)

The author wrote that Nvidia CEO Huang said it pains him to witness the decline of Germany. Huang urged the Germans to work and labeled as "thinking too much" the fact that regulations are put in place in Germany first and then nothing is implemented. https://t.co/pWbNJ02wwO #Nvidia #Deutschland #Industrie #DE (translated)

Steffan Nethe wrote that the historic Town Hall of Limoges, built in 1883, was burning while people cheered and sneered. The building had survived two world wars unscathed; Nethe blamed leftist destructive fury for its destruction and described the incident as a sign of the decline and loss of control of Western civilization. He accused European politics of passively watching the destruction of cultural heritage and the endangerment of public safety. He wrote that anyone who downplays or ignores the events is gradually giving up their homeland and history. #KulturErbe #Zivilisation #Limoges (translated)

Volker Ketzer described the person in question as the embodiment of a self-satisfied, prosperity-shaped party-state bureaucracy.

Lexa wrote that Alice Weidel sharply criticized Friedrich Merz in the Bundestag, accusing him of having squandered a historical opportunity to restore Germany. According to Lexa, Merz left the room while she was speaking. The author claims that Weidel accused the government of propelling deindustrialization through high energy prices, taxes, bureaucracy, and state interventions. Lexa wrote that Merz continued the previous failures in migration and social policy. Weidel presented him with two options: to end collaboration with the SPD and seek bourgeois majorities, or to continue the current course and accept an AfD reform government after the next election. According to Lexa, Merz chose the second path, which described the AfD as ready for a takeover of government. #AfD #Deutschland #Politik (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the Frankfurt (Oder) city administration plans to leave every third streetlight turned off in the 2027 budget. According to the Märkische Oderzeitung he cited, the measure has so far been a proposal and has not yet been decided. Boeminghaus interpreted the plans as a sign of decline and asked what had become of the country. https://t.co/FKvXGgkXm7 #FrankfurtOder #Haushaltskrise #Sparmaßnahmen (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that BMW's sales decreased by 6.3 percent in the summer. This means that the Munich car manufacturer performed better than Mercedes with a minus of 7 percent, VW with a minus of 9 percent, and Porsche with a minus of 16 percent. This was mainly due to the success of Mini, although its returns did not match those of a 7-series BMW. Without Mini, BMW would be in a similarly poor position as Mercedes, in his view. According to Boeminghaus, the high-end segment has recently collapsed significantly. It fits that Rolls-Royce reported a 12 percent decline. While the Handelsblatt cites reasons and special effects for many developments, he sees a "decline on a broad front" and questioned who would ultimately be proven right. https://t.co/oQK2c4QKED #BMW #Automobilindustrie #Marktanalyse (translated)

The author wrote that social democracy is sinking into chaos and that the crisis is self-inflicted. The party crisis has long become a permanent government crisis. Those who cannot hold their own party together cannot lead a country but only manage the decline, he declared. In conclusion, he used the image of a sinking ship. https://t.co/KQegCeprkl #Sozialdemokratie #Parteikrise #Niedergang #DE (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that Germany, and especially Berlin, have developed into a circus event in his opinion. In a few years, the finale will follow, after which general impoverishment is threatened, he explained. In view of the current situation, this fate seems inevitable to him. His hashtags were "decline" and "crash." #Niedergang #Absturz #Berlin #Gesellschaft #Zukunft (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that VW reported today that 600,000 fewer cars were sold this year. Audi alone reported a sales decline of 20 percent for one quarter. Boeminghaus added that one might think the Germans deserved the economic downturn. #VW #Automobilindustrie #Wirtschaft (translated)

The author of the article wrote that Audi sold almost one-fifth fewer cars in the third quarter; compared to 2023, sales had even dropped by 50 percent. He explained that the decline of the German automotive industry is accelerating dramatically, and an economic turnaround is only possible with the AfD. https://t.co/8Uh0xUyoTy #Audi #Autoindustrie #Wirtschaft #DE (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the current numbers from Audi and VW have overtaken the debate about the cut of 50,000, 100,000, or 150,000 jobs. For both companies, it has now become about their own survival. The decline is happening faster than the corporations can react, and it is costing companies of this size a lot of money, he explained. The unions can no longer demand anything but can only pray, Boeminghaus wrote. #Automobilindustrie #Arbeitsplätze #Wirtschaft (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the number of visitors to the Cannstatter Volksfest has dropped from 4.2 million to 2.5 million.

Boeminghaus criticized that the decline is apparently being portrayed as a success. https://t.co/J5zEgoD7sA #Stuttgart #Volksfest #Niedergang (translated)

"In North Rhine-Westphalia, the CDU is certainly still a people's party. If we do not learn at the federal level, the decline will continue unabated," Radtke told the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger," referring to the black-green state government in Düsseldorf. #CDU #FriedrichMerz #Wahlen (translated)

The author described the government as failed and the SPÖ as broken. Anyone who continues to gloss over the situation has, in his opinion, either lost touch with reality or has an interest in continuing the previous course. He called for new elections and stated that political responsibility now means ending the management of decline. https://t.co/3yq1bo7Sft #Neuwahlen #Politik #Österreich #AT (translated)
