As Germany gears up for the next federal election, the political landscape is already heating up, with tensions rising between the parties within Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition. This coalition, composed of the Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the Free Democrats (FDP), was initially built on the premise of cooperative governance and shared policy goals. However, recent setbacks and the specter of future losses are driving a wedge between them, turning allies into de facto rivals. According to senior officials in both the government and the parties, the risk of the coalition disintegrating before the federal election is higher than ever before. #EUToday #Germany #Elections2025

German authorities have detained an aide to Maximilian Krah, a leading figure in the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, on charges of espionage. The assistant, identified only as Jian G., is accused of relaying sensitive details about European Parliament deliberations to China's Ministry of State Security, as well as spying on Chinese dissidents within Germany. Arrested in Dresden by the Saxony State Criminal Police Office, Jian G. faces serious allegations of working as a foreign agent. The ramifications of these charges have prompted Krah to announce potential immediate termination of Jian G.'s position if the allegations are substantiated. Both Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and Justice Minister Marco Buschmann have expressed grave concerns about the case, labelling the espionage activities as "extremely serious" and calling for stringent consequences should the accusations hold. Chinese espionage in Germany is increasing, with a recent arrest being part of a larger pattern of such activities. This highlights concerns about ongoing surveillance, which goes beyond political espionage to include economic and military intelligence gathering. This situation adds to the complexity of Germany's diplomatic relations, particularly at a time when Chancellor Olaf Scholz is urging China to take a tougher stance on Russia in the ongoing Ukraine conflict. Source: AFP, AP So what Two days in a row; while there is no information to confirm that these two arrests are linked, it appears possible. China has taken a decent blow to its intelligence network in Europe over the last couple of days and months. Although they likely maintain a significant number of assets working at various levels, these arrests will likely cause some concern. Sadly, China is almost certainly skilled enough to have its network organised in a way that limits its exposure due to these arrests, meaning that even if the two are linked, more are unlikely to follow.

The Political Declaration creates an opportunity for states to improve and adjust their military policies and practice, ensuring compliance with IHL. "The Declaration sets an agenda for the progressive realisation of strengthened protection of civilians from the use of #explosiveweapons in populated areas and endorser states are encouraged to carefully review, consider and implement all aspects of the Declaration."

Recent violent attacks targeting politicians in Germany underscore the disturbing trend of political violence. The victims, including social democrat Matthias Ecke, face lasting repercussions, with suspects tied to the far-right scene. This violence isn't limited to attacks; instances of politicians engaging in physical altercations highlight a concerning normalization of aggression. As authorities grapple with this crisis, it's crucial to reject violence as a legitimate political tool and safeguard democratic principles. A long story by Jasper Bennink and Eli Volencová.

The #German Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion) believe that the road will stay the main transport modality in #Germany. The party said this in a parliamentary motion, which also calls for extra medium-term funding for the road sector. In defiance of #EU policy, the party does not seem to want a modal shift away from the road. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews
