Here is some background data that shows how unprecedented Friedrich Merz's defeat in today's federal chancellor election is. It's the first since time since 1949 that a candidate is not elected in the first round.

Espero que a Greve Climática Estudantil exija ficar com o fato, a camisa e os sapatos de Montenegro para os vender em leilão público e com a receita financiar os custos jurídicos do seu ativista.
Montenegro duplicou o valor real do fato no pedido de indemnização, obrigado o tribunal a fazer uma diligência para saber que custava metade. Indicara a linha mais cara. É muito importante? Talvez não. Revela coerência com o que vamos sabendo? Sim.
