Merkel fordert mehr Anstrengung: „Sonst werden wir es nicht schaffen!“
Beim Neujahrsempfang der CDU in #Düsseldorf am Samstag hat sich Angela #Merkel zu Europa, den USA, Russland und zur NATO geäußert. Den meisten Beifall kassierte die Politikerin laut Medienberichten für diesen Satz: Wenn die Bürger nicht mitmachen würden, werde man das – um ein Wort aus ihrem Repertoire zu nehmen – nicht schaffen.
Weltweite Herausforderungen machten es nötig, dass jeder Einzelne wieder Farbe bekennen müsse. Es gehe um die Frage, was wir bereit sind für so selbstverständlich erscheinende Werte zu tun.

Pavel Durov, Telegram's CEO, is known as "the Russian Mark Zuckerberg," for co-founding VKontakte, which is Russian for "in touch," a Facebook imitator that became the country's most popular social networking site. As a result, the pandemic saw many newcomers to Telegram, including prominent anti-vaccine activists who used the app's hands-off approach to share false information on shots, a study from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue shows. Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. At this point, however, Durov had already been working on Telegram with his brother, and further planned a mobile-first social network with an explicit focus on anti-censorship. Later in April, he told TechCrunch that he had left Russia and had “no plans to go back,” saying that the nation was currently “incompatible with internet business at the moment.” He added later that he was looking for a country that matched his libertarian ideals to base his next startup.
