🇮🇷 Protesters in Iran burn state flags and police cars.
The demonstrations have been going on for the sixth day. They are caused by a sharp collapse of the national currency and rising prices. Products have risen in price by 60-70%, and the rial exchange rate has fallen to 1.4 million per dollar.

Weshalb die CDU/CSU so begierig ist, neue Atomkraftwerke zu bauen: Weil sie korruptionsanfälliger sind. Während bei PV & Wind selten mehr als 10% Mehrkosten auftreten, sind es bei der Atomkraft öfter mal 200% und mehr. Viel lukrativer Spielraum für "Berater", Mittelsmänner, Wucherer, Amigos.
