The Vienna ÖVP is in an internal party conflict, as Markus Figl advocates for liberal opening hours, while the federal ÖVP rejects general Sunday openings and internal disputes, particularly in district politics in Hietzing, continue to burden the party's image. #ÖVP #Wien #Öffnungszeiten (translated)

https://bjarnekimpedersen.blogspot.com/2026/10/22102026-verdensuordentlige-nationer.html 22.10.2026 VERDENSUORDENTLIGE NATIONER Hej hej Kleptokrater Technokrater Autokrater Oligarker. Har I lavet en forening for en ny Verdensuorden hvor I vil dele og herske. Når Trump siger ”Rusland har ærlig talt været ganske fredelig i Ukraine. De har ikke gjort ret meget.” Så står han på den forkerte side. Når Musk skruer ned for Starlink og Starshield trods god betaling står han på den forkerte side. Alt hvad Putin har lavet siden han bombede egne boligblokke i 1999 er på den forkerte side. I kan selv tilføje jeres egne navne på banditter der har magten og gerne vil medvirke til Verdensuordenens Nationer. Og de vil med alle midler bekæmpe vores liberale verden. Det er også den kamp ukrainerne kæmper når de forsvarer sig mod Putins Endlösung.

Finneko examined the economic proposals of David Lisnard, who predicted, according to him, 80 billion euros in savings as early as the first year, 200 billion in cruise mode, and up to 300 billion in the long term. He described the program as a liberal strategy aimed at reducing public spending and levies on labor and companies, while promoting investment and employment. Of the 200 billion announced, Lisnard intended to allocate 120 billion to increase net wages through a reduction in contributions, 40 billion to reduce production taxes, and 40 billion to improve public finances. Finneko pointed out that the savings would not translate into a corresponding reduction in the deficit: according to his calculation, the direct budgetary improvement would be 40 billion. Starting from the public deficit of 152 billion euros recorded in 2025, there would remain, before any other changes, a financing need of more than 110 billion. Finneko deemed that the elimination of the C3S and the reduction of production taxes could support certain companies, without guaranteeing that the saved amounts would be devoted to investment or employment. He also noted that the 120 billion intended to increase net wages required further clarification on the distribution between employee and employer contributions, as well as on the financing of social spending. He also questioned the savings achievable through the reorganization of the 1,153 national public bodies, estimating that the elimination of structures would not necessarily eliminate the expenses related to their missions. Regarding pensions, he indicated that Lisnard wished to introduce a mandatory and collective capitalization tier and mobilize the delinking of pensions exceeding 2,000 euros per month. Finneko requested clarifications on the funding of the transition and the payment of current pensions. Finally, he estimated that the adjustment of 80 billion from the first year should be evaluated in light of its possible effects on activity, particularly demand. While he considered several directions worthy of interest, he expressed skepticism about the budgetary credibility of the amounts and the timeline. He awaited details of the savings, measure by measure and year by year, a simulation of their economic effects, and a projection of the funding for the transition to capitalization. #Economie #FinancesPubliques #Salaires (translated)

The large factions in the European Parliament apparently plan to ease the ban on new cars with internal combustion engines scheduled for 2035, as Christian Democrats, Social Democrats, and Liberals have agreed on a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the new car fleet of only 87.5 percent, provided that climate-friendly produced steel is used. #VerbrennerAus #EUParlament #Klimaschutz (translated)

Martin Hagen wrote that two new polls had been published. According to him, they showed that the FDP would have realistic chances of returning to the Bundestag in an early federal election. At the same time, he emphasized that there was still much work ahead for the party, and Germany needed a liberal force. https://t.co/JAFKtgjdpi #Bundestagswahl #FDP #LiberaleKraft (translated)

The author wrote that Wolfgang Kubicki won the contested vote against MASZ at the FDP federal party convention on May 31, 2026, and became the new party chairman. After his election, Kubicki stated that there would be neither cooperation nor discussions with the AfD. The author criticized that the FDP was not cooperating with the party to which it had lost the most voters. He had already referred to this as political suicide at that time. Since then, the FDP has failed to pass the five percent threshold in two more state elections; he also believes that in April 2027, it will exit the state parliament in North Rhine-Westphalia. The "left-green liberals" sacrificed the party for their convictions, he wrote, while the base supported this. #FDP #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

In August, after a Russian bombing that also hit a pediatric hospital in Ukraine, Ivan Korčok, head of foreign policy for Progressive Slovakia (the main opposition party, liberal and pro-European), asked Fico if he had called Putin to tell him to stop bombing civilians, and if not, what the purpose of his good relationship with Russia was. #RobertFico #Russia #UnioneEuropea (translated)

Ralf Fuecks said that decoupling the right to vote from citizenship allows political participation without a commitment to the community; a registration certificate would then suffice. In his view, the ideological, religious, and ethnic diversity of a liberal democracy requires a minimum agreement on basic values and rules. He believes that the demand for voting rights for all endangers the cohesion of the republic. #Wahlrecht #Demokratie #Politik (translated)

Massimo Garavaglia announces his candidacy for the secretary of the League, proposing a return to listening to the territories and a liberal approach to the economy, emphasizing that the party is not far-right and must respond to the different political souls within it. #Lega #Garavaglia #economia (translated)

Philippe Poutou wrote that Nuñez seemed to be discovering the opposition of anti-capitalists to the capitalist order, which he believed Nuñez defended with zeal and brutality. He added that Nuñez and the people of his camp also seemed to be becoming aware of the anger against this order, which he deemed unjust, and against their ultra-liberal policies. #Anticapitalisme #JusticeSociale #Politique (translated)

The author believed that one image summed up the situation and stated that those who had instrumentalized the Palestinian cause did so out of hostility towards liberal democracies, not in favor of the Palestinians. He also accused far-left activists of manipulating public opinion by spreading misinformation. https://t.co/5iN6vW66rk #Palestine #Démocratie #ExtrêmeGauche #IL #PS (translated)
