Marcel Fratzscher: „Wir brauchen jetzt einen Pakt zwischen Politik und Wirtschaft“

Nach den Landtagswahlen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Berlin kommentiert Marcel Fratzscher, Präsident des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin), die Wahlergebnisse wie folgt: 

Dieser Wahltag war ein weiterer schlechter Tag für unsere Demokratie. Die AfD hat in beiden Bundesländern stark zugelegt. Da in beiden Ländern nun Dreierkoalitionen zur Regierungsbildung nötig sein werden, dürfte die Umsetzung dringend notwendiger Reformprogramme noch schwieriger werden.

Diese Wahlergebnisse sind ein weiteres Misstrauensvotum für die Bundesregierung. Für die Bundesregierung wird es nun noch schwieriger werden, den Mut und die politische Unterstützung für ein grundlegendes Reformprogramm zu mobilisieren. Wenn CDU, CSU und SPD weiterhin an ihren roten Linien festhalten, wird sich die politische Lähmung verfestigen, die wirtschaftliche Schwäche fortsetzen und die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Wahlsiegs der AfD 2029 weiter steigen.

Das Versprechen eines Tankrabatts zwei Tage vor der Wahl hat wohl weder der CDU noch der SPD entscheidend geholfen. Die falsche Lehre für die Bundesregierung wäre nun der Versuch, die Bürgerinnen und Bürger mit Wahlgeschenken wie dem Tankrabatt ruhigzustellen. Die Energiekrise wird sich mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit verschärfen. Die Bundesregierung braucht jetzt einen überzeugenden Plan, wie sie Menschen und Unternehmen sozial und wirtschaftlich ausgewogen entlastet. Dafür wird sie das Steuersystem reformieren und Subventionen abbauen müssen. Genauso wichtig sind Strukturreformen, die Deutschland wirtschaftlich voranbringen und die Sorgen der Menschen nachhaltig beantworten.

Deutschland hat noch immer alle Karten in der Hand, um seine eigene Zukunft zu bestimmen. Dafür braucht es jetzt jedoch einen Pakt zwischen Politik und Wirtschaft: mutige Reformen umzusetzen und auch seitens der Wirtschaft mehr Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Stetes Klagen über die Politik wird nicht ausreichen, um Deutschland zukunftsfähig zu machen.

Un apprenti boucher condamné pour viol sur mineure

24 Heures au Bénin - Mon, 09/21/2026 - 10:44

A Bassila, dans le département de la Donga, un apprenti boucher a été condamné à une peine de 8 ans de prison pour viol sur une fille mineure.

Un apprenti boucher habitant le quartier Zongo Haoussa à Bassila, est en prison pour viol sur mineure. Les faits selon le bulletin d'information de l'Institut national de la femme (INF), remontent au mardi 20 août 2019.
Ce jour-là, aux environs de 19h, une voisine du quartier aperçoit une fillette devant la chambre du prévenu. Surprise, elle interpelle la fillette qui lui explique que sa sœur aînée, âgée de 8 ans, y serait enfermée avec l'apprenti boucher âgé de 35 ans. Ainsi, la dame ouvrit la porte et vit la fillette « toute nue, allongée sur un pagne blanc étalé au sol ». A ses côtés, le mis en cause, accroupi, et « tout aussi nu ».

Interpellé et placé en détention, l'apprenti boucher a été situé sur son sort le 6 février 2024. La Chambre des infractions commises à raison du sexe de la Cour de répression des infractions économiques et du terrorisme (CRIET), l'a condamné à une peine de 8 ans de prison et 500 000 francs de dommages et intérêts pour la victime.

Ne voulant pas s'en tenir à cette décision de la justice, le prévenu a interjeté appel. Le 2 avril 2026, la Chambre d'appel de la CRIET statuant en matière criminelle des infractions commises à raison du sexe confirme la première décision en toutes ses dispositions.

Le prévenu habite dans un studio communément appelé « Entrée coucher », situé en bordure d'une ruelle très empruntée par la plupart des enfants du quartier. Il profite de cet emplacement et de l'absence ou de l'inattention des parents pour attirer « régulièrement les fillettes avec des biscuits et quelques pièces de monnaie afin d'abuser sexuellement d'elles ».

Disruption & Reform: Sustainable futures at stake? The case for politics of cooperation and perseverance

In a world undergoing tumultuous transition, sustainable futures are at stake. Disruptive policy-making is on the rise, taking the form of new waves of authoritarian nationalism and the systematic erosion of rules-based politics. Yet, reform initiatives are simultaneously taking shape. Rather than proclaiming the collapse of the multilateral order or focusing on disruptive trends, this volume highlights the institutions, actors and coalitions that are advancing and shaping reform to sustain and rebuild cooperation in a multipolar world. It builds on the premise that,
in this era of concurrent disruption and reform, Germany and Europe need to invest in politics of cooperation and perseverance. Drawing on research and policy engagement by the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and its partner networks, the publication identifies practical and political pathways for reform. These include opportunities for middle-power coalitions; new forms of plurilateral cooperation and institutional adaptation; reconfigured partnership and financing architectures; and new cultures of cooperation and political leadership. These pathways are explored across four thematic sections: geopolitics, partnerships and a new global order; multilateralism in a multipolar world; sustainable transformation architectures; and (social) innovation and transformative capabilities. The volume does not seek to resolve the tension between disruption and reform, but to equip its readers to understand where reform is already taking shape and the actors who may need to be persuaded or supported to take the lead. It thereby aims to offer the expertise and inspiration needed to turn disruptive change into reform dynamics that enable the pursuit of sustainable futures.

Can local elections help to strengthen societal peace after civil war? Evidence from municipal elections in Mozambique

How do local elections affect societal peace after civil war? Existing research focuses on national elections or secession risks. This article examines municipal elections in post-war Mozambique and their impact on social cohesion (positive horizontal and vertical societal relations). Based on 33 semi-structured interviews conducted in Maputo and Nampula in 2019, the analysis finds limited but positive effects, mainly through improved state-society relations, more inclusive representation, and a greater sense of belonging. However, these gains are constrained by an autocratic context and centralised party structures. Against theoretical expectations, local elections neither enhanced inter-party cooperation nor intensified social divisions.

Direkte Zahlungen entlasten betroffene Haushalte zielgenauer als Eingriffe in den Spritpreis

Zusammenfassung:

21. September 2026 – Die Bundesregierung will die hohen Kraftstoffpreise mit einem Tankrabatt und einem Preisdeckel abfedern. Der Tankrabatt kostet Bund und Länder rund 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Eine Auswertung der 1,6 Milliarden teuren Maßnahme vom Frühsommer zeigt, dass davon ein dreistelliger Millionenbetrag nicht bei den Verbraucher*innen ankam, sondern bei den Mineralölunternehmen blieb. Am stärksten profitiert zudem, wer am meisten verbraucht. Ein Preisdeckel belastet den Staatshaushalt zwar nicht, wird in der Praxis aber oft zum Zielpreis, an dem sich auch die günstigen Tankstellen nach oben orientieren. Und er bedeutet erheblichen bürokratischen Aufwand: Er muss laufend festgelegt, angepasst und kontrolliert werden. Wenn man entlasten will, wären direkte Zahlungen an einkommensschwache Haushalte und kleine Betriebe zielführender als Eingriffe in den Preis. Der Auszahlungsweg dafür steht seit Ende 2024 bereit und wurde bislang nicht genutzt.
