Ich finde übrigens, dass Markus Lanz völlig Recht hatte mit seiner Forderung am Ende des Podcasts, dass die Europäer mit größerer Robustheit gegen die Verwendung der Daten ihrer Bürger durch systemische Rivalen auftreten und vorgehen sollten.

Offenbar wird von der #Groko die historische Ausnahmesituation für ein historisches Ausnahmebudget genutzt, das überwiegend dazu dient das Weiter-So ein letztes Mal zu verlängern. Und dafür wollen #SPD und Union die Zustimmung der @Die_Gruenen . Das ist schon bisserl ausnahmedreist, oder?!
