Furkan Yildirim wrote that US consumer inflation expectations had risen to 3.9 percent, reaching the highest level since May 2023. A month earlier, they had been at 3.6 percent. For the next twelve months, Americans expected price increases of 9.2 percent for medical costs, 7.5 percent for education costs, 6.8 percent for rents, 5.5 percent for food, and 4.8 percent for gasoline. Wages were expected to rise by only 2.6 percent during the same period. At the same time, households planned to spend 5.5 percent more – the highest figure since May 2023. Their income was only expected to grow by 3.1 percent, according to Yildirim. He also wrote that more households reported a worse financial situation than a year ago and that loans were harder to obtain. Prices were outpacing wages, he summarized. #Inflation #Wirtschaft #Verbraucherpreise (translated)

The author of the article asked whether Ferat Koçak paid potential voters to vote for Die Linke in Berlin. Referring to Apollo News, he wrote that new research raises the question of whether Koçak improperly used his expense allowance and his constituency office in Neukölln for party work and election campaigning. According to the article, the Neukölln district board held an election debate in Koçak's office in March, even though Die Linke has its own premises on Wipperstraße. If the party did not cover rent or operating costs, the author's representation suggests that party work would have been financed with tax money. Koçak and the Neukölln head of Die Linke, Jorinde Schulz, left a request from Tagesspiegel unanswered. The author also referred to documents from spring 2026, which suggested that the Neukölln Linke had considered distributing taxpayer-funded mandate funds through its social fund to potential voters with outstanding bills. In the documents, this was justified as a possible contribution to the party's popularity. It remains unclear whether money was actually disbursed. Furthermore, the Neukölln Linke deleted several Telegram posts, including announcements of campaign activities from Koçak's office on Schierker Straße. The author described Koçak as a left-wing extremist. #BerlinerPolitik #DieLinke #Wahlkampf (translated)
