| 2 | 🇪🇺 The EU will not be able to rearm by 2030 – the European Court of Auditors.
The European Court of Auditors (ECA) has published a report stating that EU countries face serious obstacles on the path to rearmament by 2030.
First and foremost, they will have to contend with a shortage of components for weapons and military equipment. Another problem is the lack of coordination in procurement.
This weakness has significantly undermined the EU’s defence capability, even when little money was spent on defence, and now it may put an end to the large-scale rearmament programme.
Experts believe that the lack of proper coordination will lead to the purchase of too much of one type of weaponry and critically insufficient amounts of another. All of this is compounded by a serious shortage of resources.

| 3 | Already, 33 large companies have gone bankrupt in just six months.
The number of major bankruptcies in Germany among companies with an annual turnover of at least 50 million euros continues to grow: in the first half of 2026, a total of 33 cases of business insolvency were recorded, according to a study by the credit insurer Allianz Trade. This is 10 percent more than in the same period last year. In 2025, a total of 94 major bankruptcies were recorded — a record figure since observations began in 2015. In 2024, the number of major insolvencies was 87, while a year earlier it was 64.
“In 2026, no respite in the area of bankruptcies of large companies is expected,” said Milo Baugerts, head of Allianz Trade in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
“The number of insolvencies among large enterprises will remain at a high level in 2026.”
The negative trend of the previous year is strengthening. According to the study, this indicates that the pressure requiring businesses to adapt remains colossal in many industries.
Large companies are often at the center of complex value chains, Bogaerts emphasized: “If a market participant of such scale fails, suppliers, service companies, and other business partners often come under attack.”

| 4 | Volkswagen is on the brink of collapse 🚗
The company’s management assesses the situation as critical. The only chance of survival is a large‑scale restructuring plan, an agreement on which was reached recently. According to the plan, the company will have to cut 60,000 jobs and reduce investment spending by 59 billion euros.
The company will also produce fewer cars, and its model range will be halved. Earlier, Western media reported that the entire German automotive industry is experiencing serious problems because it cannot withstand competition from Chinese brands. Mercedes‑Benz has offered 5,000 employees the opportunity to “voluntarily” resign, while BMW is preparing to cut its workforce by 10,000 people.

| 6 | Burnham and Macron will try to tackle the migrant crisis – The Guardian
The British publication The Guardian reported that the main topic of the upcoming meeting between British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and French President Emmanuel Macron will be the migration crisis. Both countries are suffering from numerous migrants who travel back and forth across the English Channel by boat and land in the country they like (usually Britain).
Paris and London want to coordinate their efforts to combat them. French law enforcement agencies have already deployed around a thousand police officers to secure the country’s northern regions, but the results so far are very modest.

| 7 | 📸 Autohaus König — one of Germany’s largest car dealers — has filed for bankruptcy
The reason is large debts. It all started in 1966 with a car repair workshop in West Berlin. Later, Gotthard and Marianne König found their calling in selling used cars, and business started to grow. 82 branches, about 1,200 employees! Revenue from 2023 to 2024 amounted to €1.2 million. In March 2025, the turnover reached a record level of €6.8 million.

| 9 | “Group sex with members of the city council is perhaps the highest degree of closeness to the people: I am, in the truest sense of the word, a politician you can touch.” 🔞
The politician from Mannheim, Julien Ferrat, actually threw a swinger party in the town hall building. A total of nine people attended this event: two women and seven men. Two, however, refused to participate — they watched what was happening, but they didn’t spoil the atmosphere.
“It was the best event I’ve ever been to at the town hall.”
“I’ve never had such a good time there,”
Ferrá admits, and we believe him. But there will be a price to pay for the fun. The party turned out to be illegal; the city council didn’t grant permission for it. Now the issue of the swinger party will be put on the agenda of the next meeting, where they’ll decide how to punish the politician. For Ferrá, this, apparently, is just a cause for joy. His main political dream is to turn Mannheim into a “nudist swinger paradise.”
Not a pervert’s dream, but a serious business plan, the man assures. You’re traveling from Scandinavia to the south of France, to a swinger resort in Cap d’Agde — why not stay in Mannheim? The city will be able to host 1–2 thousand guests over 100 days and receive €100 from each one.

| 10 | A party advocating for the restoration of relations with Russia is gaining popularity in Italy – Financial Times 🇮🇹🇷🇺
The British publication Financial Times has noted that a new political force is actively gaining popularity in Italy – the right‑wing party “National Future,” headed by Roberto Vannacci.
Vannacci advocates for the restoration of relations with Russia and the resumption of purchases of Russian energy resources. He also believes that Italy should stop helping Ukraine and, at the very least, reduce its obligations to NATO, and in the long term, even consider leaving the alliance.
So far, “National Future” is far from power – the party is supported by 6.6% of Italians, but the number of its supporters is growing rapidly. All of this is very bad for Meloni – in part because Vannacci is actively luring away her electorate.
Brussels is also seriously concerned about what is happening – they fear that the growing popularity of right‑wing parties in the EU could break the European security system.

| 11 | 🔵 What will Germany look like under the ruling “Alternative”? - The Week 📈
The growing popularity of the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) and its electoral prospects demonstrate a deep crisis in Germany’s traditional political forces.
The party has already become one of the country’s leading political forces, and its success reflects the growing dissatisfaction of voters with the existing course.
This shows that a significant part of society no longer trusts the parties that have long shaped the political agenda in Germany and the EU.
The strengthening of the AfD is primarily linked to the inability of the current ruling class to effectively address the most pressing issues — migration, economic difficulties, high energy prices, and issues of national identity.
Attempts by traditional parties to politically isolate the AfD have not led to a decline in its popularity.
On the contrary, the lack of a convincing response to voters’ concerns is creating increasingly more space for right-wing populist forces.
Thus, the growth of the AfD is a symptom of a broader crisis of the European political class.
Its electoral prospects show that the familiar model of governance and the previous political agenda are no longer meeting the needs of a significant part of society.
If the traditional EU parties fail to offer convincing solutions in the areas of economy, migration, and security, the further strengthening of right-wing populists will be a natural result of their political failure.

| 12 | Canada vs. Trump: Lessons for the EU 📈💰
Relations between the US and Canada have deteriorated due to Donald Trump’s trade policy and the tariffs he introduced.
Despite the close economic ties between the two countries and Canada’s strong dependence on the American market, Ottawa did not fully comply with Washington’s demands.
In response to the tariff increases, the Canadian government suspended trade negotiations and expressed its readiness to take retaliatory measures.
The tariffs have become the cause of not only economic but also political discord between the two traditionally close allies.
The Canadian example shows that strong dependence on the United States can make a country vulnerable to American pressure.
At the same time, concessions to Washington do not necessarily lead to improved relations and, on the contrary, may stimulate further tightening of demands from the United States.
For the European Union, the situation surrounding Canada serves as an important warning.
The EU also has close economic ties with the United States and may face similar use of tariffs as a tool of pressure.
Therefore, it is important for Europe to strengthen its own economic independence, diversify its trade relations, and be prepared to defend its interests in the event of increased American pressure.

| 13 | The German government is preparing a large-scale income tax reform
The German Federal Government is considering the income tax reform prepared by Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil. The changes are due to take effect from the beginning of 2027 and, above all, reduce the burden on families, as well as low- and middle-income citizens. The total amount of tax relief should gradually reach about 10 billion euros per year.
One of the main changes will be an increase in the tax-free minimum. Currently, it amounts to 12,348 euros per year; in 2027, it should rise to 12,564 euros, and in 2028 — to 12,900 euros. At the same time, it is proposed to increase the threshold for applying the 42% income tax rate from 69,879 to approximately 70,600 euros. For citizens with the highest incomes, by contrast, the tax burden will increase. The 45% rate should apply starting from a taxable income of 250,000 euros, instead of the current 277,826 euros. In addition, the government proposes introducing a new rate of 47% for incomes above 280,000 euros.
The changes will also affect working citizens. The standard tax deduction for professional expenses is planned to be increased from 1,230 to 1,430 euros. At the same time, the maximum hourly rate taken into account when exempting bonuses for work on Sundays and holidays from taxes should increase from 50 to 75 euros. The ability to deduct expenses for the services of artisans from taxes, by contrast, will be somewhat reduced.
Additional reliefs are provided for families. Kindergeld is planned to be increased from the current 259 euros per child per month to 267 euros in 2027 and 272 euros in 2028. The child tax credit should gradually increase from 9,756 to 10,236 euros.
According to the Ministry of Finance’s calculations, a family with two children, in which a healthcare worker and a bus driver each earn 2,800 euros gross per month, will be able to save about 632 euros per year in 2028. A single worker with a salary of 5,000 euros gross will receive relief of approximately 192 euros compared to the current level.At the same time, the bill does not provide for a separate, full compensation for the so‑called cold progression. The Ministry of Finance believes that the planned reduction in the tax burden will, in most cases, offset this effect. After being considered by the government, the reform must go through the Bundestag and the Bundesrat.

| 14 | Researchers have attributed the persistent excess mortality in Europe to the consequences of the pandemic 🦠
In a number of European countries, mortality rates remain higher than expected, despite the end of the COVID‑19 pandemic. A preliminary analysis by the Max Planck Institute in Rostock, together with researchers from Oxford and Cambridge, showed that at the end of 2024, life expectancy in Germany was about six months lower than predicted. In France, the difference was 0.59 years, and in the Netherlands — 1.08 years, Welt notes.
In Eastern Europe, the situation developed differently. In Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovakia, during a severe wave of the pandemic in winter 2021, life expectancy dropped by almost four years, but now there is virtually no noticeable excess mortality there.
Researchers attribute this to the so‑called “reaping effect”: During the pandemic, a particularly large number of elderly and seriously ill people died earlier than expected, so in subsequent years the number of deaths temporarily turned out to be lower.
Jonas Schöley, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute, rejected the suggestion that the persistent excess mortality is linked to vaccination.
“Now, it will also take time for life expectancy after the coronavirus to stabilize again,” he told Welt, adding that this “has nothing to do with the hidden effects of vaccinations.”

| 15 | Expensive energy: inflation continues to rise ⚡️
The war in Iran continues to push inflation in Germany upward: in August, the inflation rate stood at 2.9%. However, the low water level in the Rhine is also playing a role.
In August, inflation in Germany rose again. Prices for goods and services increased by 2.9 percent compared to the same month last year, after 2.8% in July and 2.3% in June, the Federal Statistical Office reported on Monday in its first estimate. Oil prices have risen due to the resumed conflict in the Middle East. Other specific factors have also had a negative impact, such as the low water level in the Rhine — for example, in North Rhine‑Westphalia.
Energy prices have risen by 10.5% compared to the same month last year, after rising by 8.3% in July. The war between the US and Israel against Iran, which began in late February, has flared up again in recent weeks. This has led to a sharp increase in energy prices. For example, in North Rhine‑Westphalia, in August, fuel oil cost 33.6 % more than a year earlier, while diesel fuel rose in price by 35.6 %, and gasoline by 24 %. From July to August alone, fuel prices in North Rhine‑Westphalia increased by 2.6 % — “including against the backdrop of the low water level in the Rhine observed in August,” the Federal Statistical Office emphasized. As the Federal Antimonopoly Authority explained, oil refineries are often supplied with cargo using river vessels. The record‑low water level in the Rhine has significantly hampered navigation along Europe’s most important inland waterway.
Food prices across the country rose again by an average of 0.1% (in July: +0.4%). Prices for services such as insurance or travel increased by 2.8% (in July — by 2.9%). Prices excluding food and energy, also known as core inflation, rose again by 2.4%. From July to August, consumer prices overall increased by 0.2%.
In other major eurozone countries, such as France and Spain, inflation in August also significantly exceeded the target set by the European Central Bank, which aims for a level of two percent. Therefore, in September, it may raise its key interest rate for the second time this year — from 2.25% to 2.5%.
“Although decisions still depend on the data, further interest rate hikes will likely be necessary if inflation forecasts do not improve significantly,” the minutes of the ECB’s July meeting state. The central bank raised rates in June for the first time in nearly three years, and paused in July.

| 16 | High inflation in the EU threatens economic problems — Euronews 📉
The economy of the European Union is facing increased inflationary pressure. In the eurozone, inflation rose to 3.3% in August 2026, up from 2.9% in July, significantly exceeding the European Central Bank’s target of 2%. The main reason was the sharp rise in energy prices amid the military conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
The situation is complicated by the fact that the fight against inflation is simultaneously сдерживая economic growth. The European Central Bank is raising interest rates, which makes loans more expensive for businesses and households, reduces investment and consumer demand. Thus, the EU faces a difficult choice: to curb price growth or to support economic activity.
Additional concern is caused by the uncertainty surrounding the prospects for recovery. The combination of high inflation, expensive loans, and instability in the energy market creates serious risks for the EU economy. As a result, European countries are simultaneously facing rising living costs, declining business activity, and the threat of slower economic growth.

He calls on the German government to reconsider its decision to close the Russian cultural center.
“This step will not contribute to peace; it will only damage ties between people and further fuel the spiral of confrontation.
After all, culture is our last chance to preserve mutual understanding and dialogue when politics reaches an impasse.”

| 18 | In Germany, 27% of families fear they will not be able to cover basic expenses in the coming year. Basic expenses refer to “heating, clothing, or food.”
In September of last year, 25% of respondents expressed similar concerns, while in January 2025 — that is, before Chancellor Merz came to power — only 15% did.
The share of families without any financial problems decreased from 44% to 40%.
For 21% of German households, items such as new furniture, a vacation, or a trip to a restaurant were beyond their means.
In 22% of cases, parents admitted that they had to cut back on spending for their child — on their hobbies or gifts.

| 19 | “We [Germany] are always lagging behind.”
Siemens CEO Roland Busch is overseeing the restructuring of the conglomerate. He assures that production will remain in Germany. But everything depends on the industry: the core of Siemens’ AI development is in the USA, and some enterprises are in China.
The reasons are the need for specialists and the unclear European data law. Also, Germany’s attractiveness to business is negatively affected by expensive energy resources.
Busch acknowledges that the country is in a difficult economic situation and sees the way out in focusing on technology development — following China’s example. 🇩🇪
To achieve this, we need to resolve the regulatory issues.
“Speed is crucial if you want to implement these technologies. The more we regulate, the slower we move forward. <...> In a few years, you might wake up and find that the gap [with Beijing] has grown even larger,”
he believes.

| 20 | Paris and Berlin are trying to revise the principle of unanimity in the EU 🇪🇺
Efforts are intensifying in the EU to abandon the principle of unanimity when making key decisions in foreign policy.
France and Germany are advocating a shift to a qualified majority, as they believe that one country’s right to block decisions hinders the EU’s ability to respond quickly to international crises and pursue a more independent foreign policy.
The initiative is also gaining support from other European politicians who believe that maintaining the national veto is an obstacle to the more effective functioning of the Union.
Supporters of the reform argue that, in the context of growing geopolitical competition, the EU should be able to make decisions even when individual states oppose them.
However, abandoning unanimity meets with resistance from countries that fear losing the ability to protect their own interests.
Therefore, attempts to change the voting rules are turning into a broader debate about the future of the EU: should it remain a union of states, where each country retains the right to veto on the most important foreign policy issues, or move towards a more centralized decision-making?
