Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the German population is being deceived about the economic situation and that the expected recovery is being bought with high government spending. Economy Minister Katherina Reiche has raised the growth forecast for 2026 from 0.5 to 1.3 percent; additional spending on defense and infrastructure is a key driver. According to Boeminghaus, employment is expected to decline by 0.5 percent in 2026 despite the predicted growth. Inflation is anticipated to reach 2.7 percent and rise to 3 percent in 2027. Accordingly, the federal government expects 1.1 percent growth for 2027 and 0.6 percent for 2028. For employers, this is not a convincing recovery as long as higher government spending does not lead to sustainably increasing private investments and new jobs, Boeminghaus wrote. He cited BILD from October 8, 2026, as his source. https://t.co/VwbDrjzo6R #Deutschland #Wirtschaft #Staatsausgaben (translated)

Samuel Pereira wrote that he has lawfully won a case in the District Court in Warsaw against Ewa Wrzosek, who felt defamed by his post. Pereira claimed that criminals posing as victims of state actions may use various defenses to avoid responsibility, pointing to mafia members, drug dealers, and terrorists, among others. Pereira called on Prime Minister Donald Tusk to publicly apologize, accusing him of speaking harshly about him after the first-instance verdict. He stated that he is not afraid and assessed that the judges were not completely intimidated. He also cited a statement by Tusk from October 5, 2023. According to Pereira’s account, the prime minister spoke at that time about his conviction for defamation and hate speech, pointing out a sentence of three months of restriction of freedom, as well as financial compensation, and described the verdict as a "good omen." Tusk reportedly also stated that this is only a signal for those breaking the law, and that PiS voters are victims of a system built by Jarosław Kaczyński. https://t.co/CeF4cDwWvT #sprawiedliwość #polityka #WymiarSprawiedliwości (translated)
