1,000 Bulgarian nationalists protest against government plans to adopt euro currency
Police in Bulgaria’s capital clashed with nationalist protesters Saturday who demanded that the government scrap plans to bring the country into the eurozone.
...
With the euro, exchange rates mean that there is no longer any option to wait.
Combined with the higher wage development in Bulgaria, this means that Bulgaria will import more than it exports in the future and will therefore import unemployment from the eurozone.

Feed-in tariff is history: These are the new rules in detail
The federal government has implemented a revision of the feed-in tariff. There are periods without financial support, but these will be made up for at a later date. The exact procedure is now known.
In the shadow of the asylum debate in the Bundestag, the federal government and the Union have passed key energy laws. These include adjusting the CO₂ price from 2027 , but also abolishing the feed-in tariff at times when electricity prices are negative. This happens when too much electricity is produced – more than is demanded. This happens on particularly sunny or windy days, when renewables can fire on all cylinders.

Job center cuts citizen's allowance for families – Social Court makes groundbreaking ruling
The job center cuts the citizen's allowance of a single parent and demands more than 6,000 euros in repayment. The social court is clear in its ruling.
A single mother and her daughter experienced how risky it can be not to cooperate with the job center: their social benefits were completely withdrawn. But not every cut is legal, as the Karlsruhe Social Court found in this case. It declared the measure to be illegal and sharply criticized both the job center and other social courts. The Federal Social Court also made a groundbreaking ruling on widows' pensions.

Azov representative with SS symbolism in Germany – Federal government squirms and refuses to comment
The 12th Special Brigade "Azov" of the Ukrainian National Guard stationed its international battalion in Diedersdorf Castle near Berlin in February. The official reason given was that they were looking for supporters. In an interview with the Azov press spokesman by the BILD newspaper, the background images showed the wolfsangel symbol on the unit's uniforms, originally the coat of arms of the SS Panzer Division "Das Reich". Against this background, the NachDenkSeiten wanted to know who invited this special brigade, which still openly uses Nazi symbols, to Germany and financed their stay, and whether the responsible ministries share the court's assessment that this symbol is a "fundamentally prohibited symbol" in Germany.

Why did Economics Minister Habeck meet with arms lobbyists over 180 times during his term in office?
In response to a request from the BSW about revolving door effects between the Federal Ministry of Defense and "interest groups of the arms industry," the federal government replied that since 2022, over 400 members of the Bundeswehr and five ministerial officials have switched directly to arms companies such as Rheinmetall, ThysenKrupp, Diehl Defense and Krauss-Maffei. All of this without any cooling-off period. This means that an official previously responsible for weapons procurement can immediately switch to the other side as a lobbyist for arms sales. The request also revealed that Economics Minister Habeck met with arms lobbyists 181 times during his term in office. That equates to more than one meeting per week. Against this background, NachDenkSeiten wanted to know how the lack of a cooling-off period and the number of Habeck's lobby meetings are justified.
