German of the day: Hupkonzert

That means horn concert.

Horn concert wakes up the capital: Thousands of farmers demonstrate in Berlin.

Before the planned protest demonstration by farmers at the Brandenburg Gate, participants with their tractors headed toward Berlin city center on Monday morning. Loud honking could be heard in several parts of the city in the early morning hours and also during the night.

The BSW Party

With an emphasis on the BS.

Leftist remarketing tricks still work (socialist BS is the gift that keeps on giving).

The new and improved “Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance – Reason and Justice” (BSW) party, here to “save democracy,” is polling at “up to” 14% of the vote in Germany. This means, of course, it might get 4% of the vote in an actual election, which isn’t enough to be elected, but still.

New German leftist party could take up to 14% of vote, poll shows – A leftist politician who quit Germany’s Left party and this week set up her own could win as much as 14% of the vote in national elections, dealing heavy blows to both conservatives and the far right, a new poll has found.

Stay tuned…

They won’t be able to deport him.

Because, well, it will be against the law. After twisting the law on it’s head. Because, well, we live in the Age of No Consequences.

Germany seeks Cologne Cathedral attack suspect’s deportation – Authorities are seeking to expel the 25-year-old arrested on suspicion of planning a New Year’s Eve attack on the historic cathedral. The Tajik national was arrested along with three others, but they were later released.

Worthless currency?

You mean like the euro?

Or are you talking about the dollar?

Why are Germans hoarding billions of useless deutsche marks?

As everything seems to be getting more expensive through inflation, many Germans have a secret stash of cash at home. They’re holding on to their long-expired currency instead of exchanging it. What are they waiting for? …

Though these marks can no longer be used, they can be traded for euros.

German of the day: Bahnstreik

That means railway strike.

Pro tip: When you’re the guy giving the order to strike, make sure you catch the last train back to your headquarters in Berlin before the strike begins.

More German of the day: Dumm gelaufen. That means shit happens.

Train drivers’ strike – GDL boss Weselsky misses last train to Berlin.

Claus Weselsky has a problem: due to the train drivers’ strike, the head of the train drivers’ union (GDL) said he missed the last train to Berlin on Tuesday evening.

Courts in Frankfurt rejected the injunction issued by Deutsche Bahn against the strike action on Tuesday evening but after that, things went less well for the union leader, as the hearing lasted longer than initially expected.

This, too, will help reduce CO2

And that’s the main thing.

German industrial output drops unexpectedly in November – German industrial production fell unexpectedly in November by 0.7% compared to the previous month, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday.

As reported earlier, this only confirms that the Green plan to shut down Germany in order to save the planet is running like clockwork.

German of the day: Lahmlegen

That means to paralyze.

For example: Bauernproteste legen Städte und Autobahnen lahm means farmers’ protests paralyze cities and freeways.

The week of rage – What’s in store for us tomorrow?

Starting tomorrow, farmers all over Germany will be taking to the barricades to demonstrate against the government’s (subvention-cutting) policy. Expected are highway blockades, rallies, protest camps and rallies all over the country. The farmers’ association expects “tens of thousands of tractors” to take part.

“Worried?”

Worried about how heated up the atmosphere is getting?

Then why did you heat it up in the first place? Subsidies are like heroin. You don’t take heroin away from a heroin addict without expecting a reaction, do you?

Protest against German vice-chancellor shocks political class – Angry farmers attempt to stop Robert Habeck disembarking from ferry…

Deputy chancellor and economy minister Robert Habeck was on his way back from the island of Hooge on Thursday night when he faced a group of about 250-300 farmers at Schlüttsiel harbour, near the border with Denmark. They had gathered to protest against a recent government decision to slash agricultural subsidies.

“What I’m really worried about is how heated up the atmosphere in the country is becoming,” he added. “The right to protest in Germany is a precious asset. Coercion and violence destroy this asset.”
