EFIEBER wrote that Slovakia gave the green light for Tesla FSD Supervised on October 16, 2026. According to the author, nine out of 27 EU countries would have granted or recognized the provisional approval: the Netherlands on April 10, Lithuania on May 20, Estonia on May 29, Denmark on June 9, Belgium on June 10, Slovenia on September 7, the Czech Republic on September 21, Croatia on September 29, and Slovakia on October 16, 2026. There is still no approval for Germany, EFIEBER wrote. While other EU countries have recognized the Dutch type approval, a Europe-wide decision is still pending. The author mentioned December 2026 as the next possible date. #Tesla #FSD #EU (translated)

FSD(TAD)WatcherDE wrote that Slovakia has temporarily approved Tesla FSD (Supervised). The Ministry of Transport under Jozef Ráž allowed its use on Slovak roads that day. This makes Slovakia the ninth EU country with such an approval, after the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Croatia. Ráž emphasized that it is not a fully autonomous system and that the responsibility remains entirely with the driver. There is still no EU-wide approval; a vote in the TCMV is not expected until December at the earliest. Germany will have to wait longer, wrote FSD(TAD)WatcherDE. #Tesla #TAD #FSD #Tesla #FSD #Slowakei (translated)

Marc Friedrich wrote that more and more states are going bankrupt and are introducing new taxes. For Germany, he mentioned a sugar tax and a possible cryptocurrency tax. According to him, the Netherlands wanted to impose a tax of 36 percent on unrealized profits from self-custodied gold and silver as well as from cryptocurrencies. France is planning a tax of 31.4 percent on the exchange of cryptocurrencies for stablecoins. #Steuern #Kryptowährungen #Wirtschaft (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that after France, the Netherlands has now also withdrawn a large part of its gold reserves from the USA, citing "geopolitical risks" as the reason. He asked the federal government whether it shares this assessment of its EU partners and what it means for the 1,200 tons of German gold in New York. To put the response from the Federal Ministry of Finance into context, Warweg explained that the federal government is the owner of the state assets stored at the Federal Reserve, valued at around 160 billion euros. The Bundesbank merely manages it on behalf of the federal government. #Goldreserven #Geopolitik #Bundesregierung (translated)

Germany has a significant need to catch up in the distribution of occupational pensions compared to other countries such as the Netherlands or Sweden, which is mainly due to the lack of obligation for employers and the low availability in small and medium-sized enterprises. #Betriebsrente #Altersvorsorge #Rentenlücke (translated)

Ahmad Mansour asked who had normalized the fact that anti-Semites and Islamists openly and confidently glorified terror in the middle of Europe – in this case, in the Netherlands. He also questioned how it had come to be that such actors felt safer in Europe than in most Muslim countries. #Antisemitismus #Islamismus #Europa (translated)

EFIEBER wrote that Europe is once again discussing Tesla FSD Supervised. He referred to the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, and Croatia, stating that more than 100 million kilometers had now been driven on public roads in the EU with the system. By then, no serious or fatal personal injury had been documented in Europe that could be attributed to FSD, he wrote. In his opinion, such a case would have become widely known. Despite this driving performance, discussions continue in Europe, EFIEBER added. #Tesla #FSD #EU (translated)

If Siegmund is not bluffing, he has defectors from the CDU, and not just one but at least 3+. In this case, the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt would implode, and Merz's chancellorship would mark the end of the CDU as a governing anchor of the Federal Republic in the post-war period. We would be witnessing in Germany what is already a reality in France, Italy, or the Netherlands: the death of the classical Christian (and social) democratic people's parties as a symptom of a deep systemic crisis. The goal of the radically free-market and US-aligned Alice Weidel to split the CDU at the federal level and to position herself as the replacement for the Union as a governing party - with parts of the CDU in a junior role - would be almost achieved. However, it is also certain: The AfD would not be able to maintain its support permanently, as it will dismantle the welfare state and has no program for economic dynamism. In addition, conflicts over direction within the AfD will escalate. It would be just the beginning of a new party spectrum in Germany! #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Die Benin-Bronzen gelten heute als das ultimative Symbol kolonialen Raubs. Museen und Aktivisten sprechen nur von der britischen Strafexpedition 1897 und vom „Looting“. Was systematisch verschwiegen wird: Das Königreich Benin selbst war eine Sklavenhaltergesellschaft. Es betrieb Sklavenhandel, führte Raubzüge gegen Nachbarvölker und praktizierte Menschenopfer. Die Bronzen wurden aus Messing-Manillas gegossen – jener Währung, mit der Europäer Sklaven bezahlten. Der Reichtum, der diese Kunstwerke ermöglichte, stammte zu einem erheblichen Teil aus dem Verkauf von Menschen. Mehrere Länder haben inzwischen Objekte zurückgegeben: Deutschland übertrug 2022 das Eigentum an über 1.100 Stücken und lieferte die ersten physisch. Die Niederlande übergaben 2025 119 Objekte – bisher die größte einzelne Rückgabe. Die Schweiz folgte 2026 mit 18 Stücken. Einzelne britische Institutionen (Horniman Museum, Cambridge) und US-Museen (Smithsonian) zogen nach. Viele der zurückgegebenen Bronzen sind für die Öffentlichkeit faktisch verschwunden. Sie liegen in Depots, gehen in den Palast des Oba oder warten auf ein Museum, das immer noch nicht steht und wohl auch nie stehen wird. *** Die beiden woke-linken Politikerinnen Claudia Roth und Annalena Baerbock bei der Übergabe der Benin-Bronzen in Nigeria, inszeniert für ihre Anhänger in Deutschland (2022) #BeninBronzen #Kolonialismus #Rückgabe

»ergibt sich aus der völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtung, nicht zu einer rechtswidrigen Situation beizutragen: den illegalen Siedlungen«Außenminister Tom Berendsen sagte, dass sich das Importverbot nicht gegen den Staat Israel richte, es »ergibt sich aus der völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtung, nicht zu einer rechtswidrigen Situation beizutragen: den illegalen Siedlungen«. #Israel #Niederlande #Diplomatie

Die israelische Regierung plant, niederländischen Diplomaten im Westjordanland den Status zu entziehen, als Reaktion auf ein niederländisches Importverbot für Waren aus illegalen Siedlungen, was die bereits angespannten Beziehungen zwischen Israel und den Niederlanden weiter belasten wird. #Israel #Niederlande #Diplomatie
