He wrote that the book includes, among other things, a detailed overall calculation of the asylum costs of past years and an overview of the number of asylum accommodations in Germany.

Germany and France "which have always moved Europe together for decades" must find joint solutions between politics and business, said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume at a prior event of the consortium ahead of the Paris fair that starts this Monday. Our plan For Europe (which they presented at the beginning of the month) does not detail what we lack but rather what we can build and improve. This means, among other things and according to Blume, that the criterion Made in Europe, the definition of which is being debated for the Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA), "should reward true value creation, not only the origin of components but also design, development, engineering, production, and employment." Industry and politics must go hand in hand. #Volkswagen #CochesEléctricos #UniónEuropea (translated)

The author criticized Donald Trump for announcing an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. He wrote that the Ukrainian side had not confirmed the conclusion of an agreement, and two hours after the American president's declaration, Russia once again attacked Ukrainian energy infrastructure. He asked on what basis Trump announced an agreement whose existence was not confirmed by one of the parties to the conflict. The author assessed that Russia once again showed how little political declarations mean without effective mechanisms for enforcing obligations. He also urged Europe to consider how long it wants to base its security on Trump's assurances, which — as he wrote — increasingly diverged from reality. #Trump #Ukraina #Rosja (translated)
