While the world is distracted by a staged phonecall, Erdoğan is creating facts in Turkey & imprisoning his main challenger, Istanbul Mayor İmamoğlu. I find it particularly tragic that the University is participating in this by stripping İmamoğlu of his acad. diploma. www.politico.eu/article/ista...

Erdoğan’s top rival detained, faces block to presidential candidacy

The reported arrest of Istanbul’s mayor and earlier annulment of his diploma are seen as a bid by Turkey’s president to prevent his main challenger from running for president.

Sehr bitter, dass in Deutschland überhaupt keine Berichterstattung zu Georgien stattfindet. Da sind heute 100.000 Menschen auf der Straße, kämpfen um Demokratie und Eintritt in die EU. Meine Reportage erscheint morgen bei netzpolitik.org, ich berichte weiter bis Anfang Januar aus Tiflis.

0.4% to 31.3% of GDP – that’s the range of Local Government Expenditures in the EU! 🇪🇺 The EU average is 11,1 % (10% in the Euro-countries). => diversity of local government expenditure => consequences on regional policies, local democracies, public service delivery and decentralisation.

Gesundheitspolitisches Ergebnis der Steiermarkwahl: Spitäler die weder qualitativ noch von der Ressoucenausstattung einem zeitgemäßen Spital entsprechen müssen erhalten bleiben. Wer die Versorgung auf zeitgemäße Beine stellen möchte wird abgestraft. Gut zu wissen.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
