A number of Ukrainian refugees are gaming the system and exploiting the German welfare state to obtain benefits before traveling back to their homeland, according to CDU Chairman Friedrich Merz.
The opposition leader spoke of “a larger number” who are now “taking advantage of this system.”
“We are now experiencing social tourism from these refugees ‐ to Germany, back to Ukraine, to Germany, back to Ukraine,” he told Bild.
Leaders of the parties in Germany’s federal coalition accused Merz of a lack of solidarity with Ukraine, and refused to recognize the “social tourism” he referred to, instead describing their actions as “people fleeing this terrible war of aggression.”

Швеция: установлен удручающий рекорд — 48 застреленных
В 2022 году в Швеции застрелено 48 человек. Таким образом, побит предыдущий рекорд, хотя сейчас только сентябрь.
Наибольшее число ранее было в 2020 году, когда в общей сложности было убито 47 человек. В следующем году число убитых составило 45 человек.
Первой страной, которая узаконила отпуск по уходу за ребенком, стала Германия в 1883 году. За ней это сделали Швеция в 1891 году и Франция — в 1928 году. В 1919 году Международная организация труда разработала и приняла рекомендации для защиты материнства и детства, которые строились на трех фундаментальных принципах: отпуск по уходу за ребенком, денежные выплаты и сохранение рабочего места.
Из 196 стран мира США и Папуа-Новая Гвинея — единственные страны, в которых нет утвержденной на федеральном уровне политики предоставления новоиспеченным матерям оплачиваемого отпуска.
Финляндия: Согласно закону, каждому родителю разрешено 164 дня, или около семи месяцев. Родитель-одиночка может взять отпуск, рассчитанный на двух родителей, — это порядка 328 дней.
Ингвар Эрикссон болен деменцией в тяжелой форме. У него эпилепсия, афазия, отсутствует память, он не может общаться. Несмотря на эти трудности, он зарегистрирован проголосовавшим, сообщает Шведское Телевидение.
- Он бы очень разозлился, да. Он был честным человеком. Он почувствовал бы себя ограбленным, — говорит в интервью жена Ингвара Маргарета.
Маргарета случайно узнала, что персонал проголосовал за Ингвара. Она хранила домв его карточку избирателя, так как не считала его способным голосовать.
В день досрочного голосования дом престарелых, где живет Ингвар, запретил посещения, а через несколько дней, когда Маргарета пришла навестить мужа, пациенты с легким слабоумием рассказали ей, что "мы проголосовали".
Это произошло в четыре часа дня в среду на прошлой неделе, когда в центральном Стокгольме была изнасилована девочка.
- Речь идет о девочке в возрасте до пятнадцати лет, проживающей в стокгольмском муниципалитете, сообщила прокурор Фрида Ведин.
По сообщениям СМИ, которые Ведин отказывается комментировать, жертве изнасилования всего двенадцать лет.
В четверг был выдан ордер на арест 41-летнего отца троих детей, проживающего в одном из пригородов Стокгольма, по подозрению в изнасиловании ребенка. Задержание было произведено позднее вечером того же дня.

HURRAH!!!! Our American friends have informed little Cyprus that they have decided to lift the arms embargo they had imposed on the small island nation.
But that's water under the bridge now, the embargo will be lifted some time next year and Cyprus will be able to purchase the means to defend itself against an ever aggressive neighbour who threatens to take what's left of the island.

Hamas announced on Thursday that they would resume ties with Syria, praising Syria’s support for Palestine and its cause.
An official in the Palestine Scholars Association (PSA) said that Hamas’ decision to resume ties with Syria is beneficial and unites the Axis of Resistance and worries Israel.
