Although neither Trump nor Musk want to be held responsible for the throttling of Starlink, the satellite communication in Ukraine was still limited at the beginning of the week – and that despite the fact that Musk's business customer is not Ukraine itself, but Poland, which largely finances the Ukrainian Starlink terminals as part of its support. #Satellitennetz #EU #ElonMusk (translated)

Mikkel Andersson wrote that in the early 2010s he met a group of young university students in a pub in Lublin in eastern Poland. He described them as left-leaning, inclusive, and critical of the national conservative party Law and Justice (PiS), but stated that they did not reject non-Western immigration to Poland. According to Andersson, they then referred to Sweden's experiences with immigration. He wrote that the meeting came to his mind after Hungary's and Poland's leaders, who according to him had succeeded markedly more right-leaning predecessors, had linked the riots in France to immigration. Andersson described that connection as correct. #Polen #Indvandring #Venstreorienteret (translated)

Dr. Jan van de Beek stated that, in his opinion, the Netherlands largely allowed hopeless asylum migrants who formed a burden on society in various ways. He argued that Poland repeatedly suspended asylum rights and called it a smart idea as long as the laws and treaties were not amended. According to him, this seemed possible within the EU, allowing the Netherlands to adopt this policy. #asielbeleid #immigratie #Polen (translated)

Wolfgang Kubicki accused the SPD and the Greens of deliberately breaking down the last taboos regarding organized left-wing extremism in collaboration with the Left. He wrote that both parties believed they could attain the chancellorship sooner or later by doing so. While there are repeated calls for a firewall against the AfD, the SPD and the Greens themselves are becoming part of a fire. According to Kubicki, Germany is to be polarized between a Red-Red-Green coalition and a völkisch front. The left-wing camp could thereby present itself as the last bastion against the political opponent in light of a possible AfD government and gain power. He referred to this as a dangerous plan worth fighting against daily. He stated that the goal should be prosperity for all instead of equality in misery. #Politik #Deutschland #Wohlstand (translated)
