DEUTSCHE WELLE - an independent voice to all autocratic countries

 


DEUTSCHE WELLE

A free voice to authoritarian countries

 

It is evident that authoritarian trends are on the march forward.  Free and uncontrolled media and discussions are under threat.   The development in Trump’s US is a very serious part of this development.

Therefore, it is of crucial importance that strong efforts are made to counter that trend.  Efforts to fight for free media and a free and unbiased flow of information. And efforts to fight populism.

DEUTSCHE WELLE is one of the most important and independent players in this fight.

It is a German public service broadcaster – financed by the German government and totally free from interference in its programming.

Deutsche Welle TV is broadcasting in English, Spanish and German. It is followed by about 22 mill. viewers worldwide.  Deutsche Welle Radio is broadcasting in 29 different languages – and followed by 28 mill. people daily. And Deutsche Welle Internet broadcasts in 31 different languages.

Deutsche Welle’s headquarters is in Bonn. It has studios in Washington, Moscow and Brussels.  And the total number of employees is 1500 – from 70 different countries.

In addition to its own direct broadcasting about 4.200 partner stations worldwide re-broadcast its programmes.

GREENLAND AND EUROPE: THE NEWEST DEVELOPMENTS

  WHO IS TRUMP'S RULER?! The week is in full swing – a week of crucial importance for Denmark, Greenland and for Europe! And who is Trump “commander”?   Many people's strong assumptions are becoming more and more true! Think about this! Today, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, spoke at the Davos summit. Here her message was VERY, VERY CLEAR. Total support for Denmark and Greenland. Politically, militarily and economically. Find the speech – which was in English – on YouTube. Later today, French President Macron spoke at the same venue. And German Chancellor Merz will follow very soon. No wavering in the European clear line! Tomorrow, Wednesday, President Trump will speak in Davos. What new surprises does he have up his sleeve? And how will he be received by the 3,000 participants from all over the world? At the same time, both chambers of the US Congress now seem to have gathered a majority to prohibit Trump from intervening militarily i...

CANADA - AND TRUMP's TARIFF WAR

Image
  Canada's flag I just want to tell you that our Canadian friends in Toronto have told us that the fight in Canada against Trump and his tariffs is in full swing - and is becoming more and more active. A popular movement has been created called: ELBOWS UP! On April 28th there will be a general election in the country. The new Liberal Prime Minister, Mark Carney, (former head of the Bank of Canada AND also former head of the Bank of England in London) is up against the second largest party, the Conservatives. Before Trump, the Conservatives were leading by a large margin. Now it seems to be on the balance.. The Canadian Conservatives are a long way along the line with Trump on many issues.

GREENLAND - CRUCIAL NEGOTIATIONS TODAY

Today, the Danish and Greenlandic foreign ministers are to meet with the US vice president and secretary of state in Washington. The meeting is taking place at the Danish-Greenlandic request. Here, the Danish-Greenlandic side will be very open to even closer cooperation with the Americans on security and on the exploitation of minerals. But they will NOT accept any form of American takeover of Greenland. Out of the question! In this position, Denmark-Greenland has the full support of the EU, Canada, the Nordic countries, and indeed most of the world. At the same time, work is being done to get a multinational military force to Greenland - to better defend the Arctic. And several countries will establish consulates in Nuuk. Canada did so last week. France will open its next month. And there will probably be more.
