besides the point as "migration" has become a go-to issue oven-ready to justify aggressiveness, but if you travel to developing countries and talk to like *really* poor people, there is awareness of how much Europeans hate immigration and v little convincing that they will stop the flows.

I know there is about a hundred caveats to note re the A-S election results, ecological fallacy etc — but I really think in the media environment we are in we should never underestimate how “small” events (aka small minorities) capture big narratives, entire nations

Also you should all know that Saxony-Anhalt owns brown coal reserves. Small stuff compared to the fields of North Rhine Westphalia, but AfD is growing in the Ruhr too, so theoretically a far-right governed Saxony-Anhalt becomes a model, maybe an equivalent of the US “laboratories against democracy” [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The Meloni govt has extended for the Nth time the excise duty tax cut on diesel. Good news: this is financed by collecting taxes from large energy companies earlier. Bad news: subsidizing fossil fuels is the worst fiscal, energy and climate policy when EVs and electrification could be super cheap.
