Amid a tense budget situation and a looming deficit of 440 million euros, Frankfurt is discussing whether the costly new construction of the City Theaters can still be pursued, while the existing theater buildings urgently need to be renovated due to technical deficiencies. #Frankfurt #Bühnenneubau #Haushaltslage (translated)

Marc Felix Serrao wrote that the SPD and the Greens do not defend the fire wall out of concern for democracy, but out of self-interest. If it falls, the CDU would no longer be dependent on left-wing partners, according to Serrao; everything else he described as political theater. #Politik #Demokratie #CDU (translated)

Today the Nobel Prize for Literature is awarded by the Swedish Nobel Committee and the ceremony for the Golden Televizier Ring takes place at the Royal Theater Carré, while the weather in the Netherlands is changeable with sun, clouds, and showers. #Nobelprijs #TelevizierRing #Weerbericht (translated)

Leah von Roden described Pistorius's appearance as outrageous. She wrote that he relativizes history, insults democracy in Germany, and vilifies a political competitor. Moreover, the appearance was calculated and intended to bestow a dignity on the SPD that, in her view, they had long lost. Meanwhile, the negligence of other parties was overlooked. Von Roden called the appearance "theatrical thunder" and wrote that behind it could be either ignorance or perfidy. #Politik #Demokratie #Deutschland (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt argued that the Netherlands should ask less about which ministers should resign and more about whether officials should be held accountable. According to him, a forced departure was often followed by a new position or severance pay, which meant that political responsibility could change into a career step. He cited Hugo de Jonge as an example. Von Kreyfelt stated that political incompetence or mistakes did not in themselves constitute a crime, but that willfully lying under oath, destroying documents, falsifying data, corruption, and deliberately acting unlawfully by officials should be independently investigated. A ministerial title should not provide protection against criminal investigation, according to him. He cited as examples the childcare benefits scandal, Groningen, and the COVID-19 period. He wrote that affected parents were treated as fraudsters and that after inquiries and promises in Groningen, accountability was lacking. He also stated that Rutte, De Jonge, and Grapperhaus had presented political choices during COVID as natural laws, dismissed criticism, and stretched fundamental rights. He emphasized that this did not mean they had committed criminal offenses; this should be investigated independently, according to him. Von Kreyfelt wrote that the Netherlands had had enough of inquiries and reports without consequences, while victims faded from view. Officials who broke the law and deliberately caused harm to society should be able to go to court just like other citizens, according to him. #rechtsstaat #politiek #verantwoordelijkheid (translated)

Typerend. This is the director of Avansa VZW. His organization, linked to the Catholic union, receives 13.6 million euros in subsidies each year. What do they do with it? Organize forest walks. With a left-activist approach. And as he aptly explains here: "doing things for people". Like "writing a book about the elderly" and then "touring schools with it and making a theater presentation". The man risks losing a maximum of 5% of subsidies with this government agreement. That means: instead of 13.6 million euros, he will now receive "only" 13 million euros per year (it is likely to be around 13.4 million in reality). According to the public broadcaster, this is "cold, bleak" almost inhumane. Those not invited to discuss this: working dual-income earners who struggle to save a little money. They will continue to pay the 13.4 million euros to Avansa. In this country, you are already seen as cold and bleak when you question that. Abolish the entire subsidy pot of 80 million euros. If there are a few organizations that could use some support, that can perfectly be done through a regular subsidy. #subsidies #maatschappij #vakbond (translated)

Een avond lang puur pest-theater voor de bühne. Want dat is het. Als je echt verandering wilt en als je een betrouwbare, competente overheid belangrijk vindt, dan hoeft er niet oeverloos gedebatteerd te worden als een minister de boel aan elkaar konkelt. Dan stuur je hem naar huis. Wat hebben we aan een verbale steniging, waarbij er op het laatste moment een paar tranen en een 'sorry' uit geperst worden, waarna niet het boevenbusje, maar de dienstauto vervolgens gewoon weer voorrijdt? Ze dronken een glas, ze deden een plas en alles bleef zoals het was. Maar het was wel weer een avondje hard werken natuurlijk, dat wel. https://t.co/NvJXB7nymp #PestTheater #Politiek #Verandering

Didi kämpft weiter gegen Rechts. Der 91-jährige Komiker war als Wahlkämpfer für Sven Schulze sensationell erfolglos. Am Ende verlor die CDU in Sachsen-Anhalt mehr als die Hälfte ihrer Stimmen, und die AfD konnte sich mehr als verdoppeln. https://t.co/IBA6mDiVcX Didis Nazi-Keule war so stumpf wie ein Kieselstein in der Elbe. Als Theaterintendant aber macht Hallervorden weiter, wo er als Wahlkämpfer aufgehört hat. Er zeigt in Berlin ein Stück, das vor einer rechten Machtübernahme warnt. Hallervorden will Deutschlands schrillste Alarmboje bleiben. „Kissler Kompakt“ vom 24. September sehen Sie hier: #Deutschland #Politik #Rechtsstaat

Österreich 🇦🇹 hat den Sprit fast 50 Cent billiger als Deutschland! 🇩🇪 Jetzt drückt der Kanzler Stocker von Merz-Schwesterpartei ÖVP nochmal 12 Cent runter, um die Bürger zu entlasten. Bei uns ein großes Theater um 17 Cent „historische Entlastung“. Merz und Klingbeil im Verbund mit vielen Medien. ⛽ Die CO2-Abgabe muss WEG, genau wie eine Regierung, die die eigene Bevölkerung abkassiert. #Österreich #Spritpreise #CO2Abgabe

Theatermaker Karlijn Kistemaker brengt met haar droogkomische voorstelling 'Buikzwam' endometriose bespreekbaar, een chronische aandoening die vaak jaren onopgemerkt blijft, en doet dit door middel van persoonlijke verhalen en humor, wat leidt tot overweldigende herkenning bij het publiek. #Endometriose #Theater #Buikzwam
