Sumit Kumar wrote that he had a friendly conversation with the Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernization on that day. He was interested in how people there thought about eagles; he described the employees as motivated. On that day, numerous other administrative tasks were added to FragDenAdler: changes to the board or statutes in the register of associations, disposal of hazardous substances and special waste, as well as reports on illegal telemarketing and misuse of phone numbers. This also included the registration of a power of attorney, the initiation of legal guardianship for relatives, adoptions of children, stepchildren, and adults, as well as applications for student tickets and student transportation in case of disability or illness. Other offerings concerned hunting licenses, educational assistance, educational counseling, and social-pedagogical family support. Also mentioned were certificates of eligibility for marriage abroad – even for people who had never lived in Germany – the registration of marriages concluded abroad, and the certification of births abroad. The list also included integration assistance for people with disabilities and children with mental disabilities, pregnancy conflict counseling, the certification of child support at the youth welfare office, and applications for personal bankruptcy. Additionally, there were the registration of drones and the acquisition of a drone pilot license, as well as the acquisition, replacement due to loss, and transfer of a sports boat license.

Stelter, Sie wissen ganz genau, dass Deutschlands Strukturkrise nicht 2021 mit Robert Habeck aus dem Ei geschlüpft ist. Exportverluste seit 2017, jahrzehntelanger Investitionsstau, Demografie, Bürokratie, verschlafene Digitalisierung, Autoindustrie im China-Schock und eine von Vorgängerregierungen aufgebaute Abhängigkeit von billigem russischem Gas. Man kann Habeck für konkrete Fehlentscheidungen kritisieren. Aber diesen historischen Problemberg kurzerhand zum Werk eines Ministers umzuschreiben und ihn dann gönnerhaft als „Verursacher“ vorzuführen, ist intellektuell derart billig, dass man sich fragt, wozu der Doktortitel vor dem Namen eigentlich noch dienen soll. Mich macht diese Unredlichkeit, diese völlig offenkundige Agitprop, nur noch wütend. #Deutschland #Politik #Wirtschaft
