Julius Betschka reported that a man from the Young Union called for Friedrich Merz to resign during the Germany Day. He accused Merz of leading a de facto "plundering expedition" against the younger generation and compared his approval rating to that of Liz Truss, stating it was at 10 percent. If Merz cares about his country, he should drive to the Federal President in his official car and ask for his dismissal, the man said. According to Betschka, there were scattered cheers but also murmurs. #DLT26 #Politik #Deutschland #JU (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus, referring to anonymous tips from the BMW workforce, reported that the portal for severance offers in Munich had been overloaded for more than 24 hours. In the meantime, all available appointments have been booked and the offer on the portal is no longer accessible. According to the workforce, it was also reported that in connection with the offers, the wording "with or against BMW" was mentioned. Employees with long tenures, in particular, reacted to this with confusion. According to Boeminghaus, there is no independent confirmation of the statement. Boeminghaus interpreted the rush as an indication of a clearly significant interest in voluntary departures at BMW. #BMW #Abfindung #Stellenabbau (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus criticized that the CDU is dealing with the statements of a Civey poll expert regarding the mood in the country, a speech by 86-year-old former Federal President Joachim Gauck, and a renewed debate about the fire wall at their retreat meeting. Meanwhile, the promise of prosperity in the country is increasingly being called into question, he wrote. Boeminghaus urged the party to focus more on the economy, growth, and prosperity. Then it might have to deal less with polling figures, he argued. Instead, the CDU continues to go in circles politically and is beyond help. Even "Grandpa Kurt" might soon lose the desire to vote for them, he wrote. https://t.co/Eq6P5aMAij #CDU #Wirtschaft #Wohlstand (translated)
