The account BrennpunktUA stated that the US Congress is planning to block an energy deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that a bipartisan coalition would soon introduce a bill aimed at prohibiting all purchases of Russian oil products. The draft is to be called the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act." According to Fitzpatrick, a vote in Plenary would be forced using a so-called "Discharge Petition" procedure, and the draft would be passed by an overwhelming majority. If successful, the procedure could be completed very quickly, according to BrennpunktUA. #USPolitics #Trump #Putin (translated)

For December 18, Tech stocks mentioned a vote in the Bundesrat; as of January 1, the amendment could come into effect if the CDU/CSU agrees.

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that, in his view, senior officials should represent the government's line in Parliament due to their civil service obligations. However, public broadcasting presents them as independent and objective experts, solely committed to the common good. In his opinion, this reverses the actual power relations: it appears as if politics must follow the recommendations of impartial experts. Vosgerau described this as "faux expert rule" and compared it to a practice where the government funds NGOs that demonstrate for politically left causes, initiate petitions, and engage with the media. This creates a simulated political pressure emanating from the population, which, he wrote, politics in a democracy supposedly cannot ignore. Meanwhile, "the real people" are at work, paying taxes and social contributions. #ÖRR #Demokratie #Expertenherrschaft (translated)

French democracy is very sick. Petitions that reached more than 500,000 signatures were not followed by debates in the National Assembly. This was the case for the petitions against the Duplomb law and the "permit to kill" law. The result of the 2024 legislative elections has not been respected. They say to respect democracy. We do, but not them! With us, the people will regain their power. We will implement the citizen initiative referendum and the recall referendum. #Démocratie #France #Citoyens (translated)
