Germany. In the more emaciated, troubled East there have been some more intriguing items of news in recent days. In two East German states radical fringe parties made substantial gains, whilst giving a rebuke to the two main parties. By 'radical' and 'fringe' I mean far-right and far-left - including former Communist groups and Neo-Nazi's.
Read this if you are interested in why that fact is somewhat troubling if it is a sign of further things to come. Maybe it isn't, maybe it is- but I've also been reading about literal rifts between the populace in East Germany and West Germany. The West Germans think that too much of 'their' money is being poured to lift up the significantly shittier, formerly Communist state up to par with the Western part. The East Germans believe that too little money is being pumped into them to help them, and the rift is growing it seems.
Why does it matter? I suppose it doesn't, really. In a nation that has placed itself as the shining knight of Democracy I would think it might matter. Germany is an important country- an important ally. It's true that this information might not really imply anything- but I am keenly interested in Germany's history and goings on [being the possibility I'm German]. Of equal note is the crafty President of Russia. Increasing power to the Kremlin, eh? Intriguing move.
I don't know. I am keeping you informed I suppose. I worry sometimes that a lot of people are sheltered from news outside of US matters. I find it interesting to observe the goings on around the world as they are presented to me, as I might visit those places eventually.
I hope I do.
