The power of images is enormous. Armin Laschet can sing a smile about it, the Union has flooded to 20 percent. Maybe the man has real qualities, but let's be honest, who wants to see them? The general election is only a fortnight away, so there is no reason for the CDU and its Bavarian sister party to panic. Meanwhile, its chairman Markus Söder was delighted to have brought the International Motor Show IAA to Munich and held it. A mere 4,500 police officers have secured the fair; Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann has set the largest police force on the march for twenty years. The Federal Chancellor and the Bavarian Prime Minister have not against Corona, such a pandemic, but because of the activists.They like to rappel off motorway bridges or jump into the pond at the exhibition grounds, which with an outside temperature of 25 degrees was perhaps not as heroic as plunging into the football stadium with a paraglider. Either way, rampaging activists deserve more attention than toiling cops. Or even innovative engineers.

This Sunday, 70,000 want to see the race in Monza.

It's good that such balanced reporting is secured by compulsory fees.

The days we were in a beer garden, there was a sign on the wall: "Service staff wanted: with a penchant for friendliness and humor".
