The feminist magazine 'Emma', founded by Alice Schwarzer, is set to cease publication after nearly 50 years. Schwarzer, who is the founder and publisher of the journal, stated that economic reasons were not the cause for the magazine's closure, marking the end of an era for a significant voice in German feminism.
In political news, a recent poll shows the Christian Social Union (CSU) party at its lowest support in three years, while the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the largest opposition party in the Bundestag, has reached a record high in voter preference. Separately, a German ministry is reportedly planning a correction for a new tobacco tax law that was mistakenly set to take effect today.
On the international front, a German-Russian exchange has drastically reduced since the beginning of the Ukraine war, indicating a significant downturn in relations between the two countries.
