In Spain, the housing crisis is becoming the central campaign theme, while the Left in Berlin is seen as a model and triggers a wave of activism and protests, especially after the tragic death of an 87-year-old retiree who died after an eviction. #Wohnungsnot #Mieterschutz #Protestbewegung (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that Stelter is correct in his analysis; he listens to his podcast regularly. The problem, however, is not a lack of knowledge: politicians are aware of the situation but follow systemic incentives that, in his view, favor more redistribution, social welfare, debt, taxes, and contributions, as well as a higher state quota. This secures their positions and pensions. Gorus considered a course change unrealistic. According to his portrayal, political actors benefited from the decline and did not care about decreasing prosperity. He compared them to residents of the Wandlitz forest settlement negotiating their next role among themselves. He asked how long the substance of the private sector would last and whether the euro, the EU, or the Federal Republic would collapse first. Genuine reform within the existing structures seems unlikely to him. The next government would probably be Green-Red-Red, Gorus wrote, because retirees and other recipients of transfers formed the largest voter block; after that, things would really get going in the "ghost train." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wirtschaft (translated)
