2025 in Germany will be a year more energy inflation and loss a free speech rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective today, Germany\u2019s CO2 surcharge will rise from 45 euros a tonne to 55 euros, which will further fan inflation and social discontent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already Germany\u2019s electricity prices are among the highest in the world, and the most expensive in Europe:<\/p>\n\n\n

Germany clamps down on dissenters, free speech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 2025 will not be an easy year for dissenters and critics of the government, as this is increasingly being criminalized in Germany thanks recently passed laws and acts that aim to suppress free speech in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former head Germany\u2019s Constitution Protection Authority (Bundesverfassungsschutz<\/em>), Thomas Haldenwang (CDU Party), suggested last February when presenting measures to fight right-wing extremism, that human thoughts and speech patterns need to be under surveillance and become the business of the government: \u201cIt\u2019s also about shifting verbal and mental boundaries. We have to be careful that thought and language patterns don\u2019t become embedded in our language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mocking the state now verboten<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haldenwang\u2019s boss, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD Party), wants to treat vocal conservative protesters in the same way as organized crime groups: \u201cThose who mock the state must deal with a strong state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to take account of the fact that hate on the internet also occurs below the threshold of criminal liability,\u201dsaid Federal Minister for Family Affairs Lisa Paus (Greens) at her press conference on February 13 on the topic of \u2018Hate on the Internet\u2019. \u201cMany enemies of democracy know exactly what falls under freedom of expression on social media platforms,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meant by \u201cenemies of democracy\u201d here are opposition forces, even when democratically elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unwanted election results may be annulled<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to comments in favor of the conservative made by Elon Musk, German President Frank Walter Steinmeier hinted he would annul the results of the upcoming February 23 national elections if he doesn\u2019t like the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in Germany, it\u2019s watch what you say<\/em> and, if the old parties don\u2019t like the election results, then they might just well annul them. Germany is slipping back quickly to darker times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy New Year to the rest of you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
