We started with only 30 people. The engineers earned twice as much as I did, and when we took a taxi instead of the bus, we had to justify it," recalls his wife Stella Li, vice president of the Chinese group and the face of the brand internationally, in Les Echos. #BYD #VoitureÉlectrique #MondialAutomobile (translated)

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)

Lucas Corsino said that Franco's bad streak was especially difficult for a driver and that the team had to work with the engineers to resolve the issues. He explained that the Reliability Engineering area was responsible for preventing failures, evaluating designs, studying deterioration, and analyzing its causes. He also noted that Franco had shown good pace that day, defending himself from Hadjar, whom he identified as a Red Bull driver, and being faster than Sainz. Corsino added that the races in Texas, Mexico, and Brazil were approaching, circuits where, he said, Franco performed well. #Fórmula1 #Pilotos #Deportes (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

Fura-Redes questioned the idea that André Villas-Boas, president of FC Porto, was upset with a meme and described that interpretation as naive and revealing of a lack of ability to read between the lines. He said that the conflict between the allies of Sporttv and LiveMode was inevitable and had started later than he expected. He added that Sporttv had not been associated without reason with the "tentacles of Pinto da Costa's octopus." #FCPorto #AndréVillasBoas #Sporttv (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

The Baron of Øresund questioned whether there had been Russian drones over Denmark or if the country had been attacked by a "capable actor," as the government had claimed according to him. He also wrote that politicians and the media had suggested or speculated that Russia was behind the explosion of Nord Stream. He further wrote that there had not been a provocation or a test of NATO when Russia fired a flare at a Danish helicopter, which according to him was flying too close to a Russian warship. He asked when what he described as lies, deception, and misinformation would be regarded as war propaganda. #Misinformation #Krigspropaganda #Rusland (translated)
