Bavaria’s premier calls for early election as budget crisis roils German politics

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:17:05 GMT

Bavarian Premier Markus Söder called today for an early German federal election, arguing that voters have lost faith in the country’s ruling three-party coalition following a constitutional court ruling that has plunged Germany into a budget crisis.“The whole traffic light system [i.e. coalition] is not working,” Söder, the conservative leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. “That’s why a fundamental change is needed.” Early elections, he added, “would be the right way forward.”Söder’s call for an early election comes as the government grapples with the political fallout of a major budgetary crisis. Earlier this month, the country’s top court ruled it had been unconstitutional to repurpose €60 billion left over from an emergency COVID-19 fund for climate projects. More broadly, the ruling also limits the government’s ability to draw from a variety of special funds ...

(CNN) — That Google account you haven’t checked in years might be getting wiped this week.Beginning Friday, Google is moving ahead with its plan to delete accounts that have been inactive for at least two years.The company announced the new policy back in May, saying it’s intended to prevent security risks: Internal findings show older accounts are more likely to rely on recycled passwords and less likely to employ up-to-date security measures like two-step-verification, making them far more vulnerable to issues like phishing, hacking and spam.Google has been sending warnings to affected users since August, with multiple alerts sent to impacted accounts and user-provided backup emails.In a phased approach, the first accounts to be cut are those that were created and then never revisited by the user, Google said in May.“We want to protect your private information and prevent any unauthorized access to your account even if you’re no longer using our services,” Goog...

The Ravens again flirted with disaster thanks to a disjointed offense and a shocking 44-yard miss from kicker Justin Tucker, but their defense came up with a pair of critical fourth-quarter stops to secure a road win over the high-scoring Chargers.Here are five things we learned from the 20-10 win.This was a win to ease but not erase doubtsWe felt the dread.How could we not after similar leads evaporated, after the Ravens failed to seize similar chances, in defeats to Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and Cleveland?
