Lemke: K question for the Greens “not decisive”

by Ethan Caldwell October 2, 2024

written by Ethan Caldwell

Berlin () – Environment Minister Steffi Lemke (Greens) rules out a one-man show by Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck with the Greens. “It is inconceivable that the Greens would align themselves with a single person – and that would not be in the spirit of Robert Habeck either,” she told the newspapers of the Funke media group (Wednesday editions).

“He already has a prominent position as vice-chancellor, and he will also have it as the Greens’ likely leading candidate.” Lemke called speculation that the Greens could turn into something like an alliance Robert Habeck nonsense. “The Greens wouldn’t let that happen to them and it’s in the party’s DNA,” she said.

Lemke emphasized: “We have a clear quota system that allows exceptions to elect individual top candidates. But we will never give up our claim to reflect the diversity of the party in leadership and to ensure that women have more than just a say.”

When asked whether the Greens would not nominate a candidate for chancellor, Lemke said: “I don’t think the question of whether we nominate a candidate for chancellor or a top candidate is crucial. The decisive factor will be who the people of our country want to give responsibility for the present and future to in the federal election.”

Lemke does not necessarily see the heating law for which Habeck is responsible as a liability for a top candidacy. “Mistakes were made in the draft of the Heating Act a year and a half ago, which Robert Habeck has since admitted – I don’t know how often,” said the minister. “These errors have been corrected, deadlines have been significantly extended and the installation of heat pumps is properly subsidized by the state. In this respect, it shouldn’t be a mortgage. But it is of course true that something has stuck there and that the opposition never tires of harping on this first draft instead of applauding and saying: It’s good that someone has the greatness to not only fix mistakes, but also admit them. ”

Lemke warned the Greens must “think and act more consistently from the reality of people’s lives and less from abstract European goals or abstract scientific findings”. At the same time, the party must “make it more clear that our goal naturally revolves around people and aims to stabilize their living conditions and their future prospects.” When it comes to the new flood protection law, she points out very specifically that it’s about property, life and limb.

Commemorating World HIV/AIDS Day: Semen Padang Hosts Mass Interactive Activities for Employees

Unique Campaign to Commemorate HIV/AIDS Worldwide: Semen Padang Holds Various Mass Interactive Educational Activities for Employees

Padang (Minangsatu) – In commemoration of World HIV/AIDS Day which is held every December 1, PT Semen Padang held joint gymnastics competitions, HIV/AIDS outreach and various quizzes which were participated in by employees within the Semen Padang Group, Friday (22/12/ 2023) morning.

The joint gymnastics competition which was held at the PT Semen Padang Head Office Plaza, was attended by hundreds of Semen Padang Group employees. The Director of Finance & General Affairs of PT Semen Padang, Oktoweri and a number of leadership staff, were also present to enliven the series of activities.

Director of Finance & General Affairs of PT Semen Padang, Oktoweri hopes that this joint gymnastics competition can become a means of education for employees. Because, in this joint gymnastics competition, there was also a presentation about HIV/AIDS by the company doctor to the gymnastics competition participants.

“Hopefully this activity will be a means of education for employees, and we also hope that the knowledge about HIV/AIDS gained at this event can be transmitted to the environment, especially to families, that the infectious disease HIV/AIDS is a dangerous disease for which there is no cure,” said Oktoweri .

Head of the Public Relations & Secretariat Unit of PT Semen Padang, Nur Anita Rahmawati added that on the momentum of World HIV/AIDS Day with the theme “Let Communities Lead” a number of activities were held by PT Semen Padang. Apart from the joint gymnastics competition, there was also socialization and education about the dangers of HIV/AIDS for high school students, a 1st ranking competition between work units and an HIV/AIDS Day billboard design competition.

“These various activities are held so that employees can understand the impact of this infectious disease, including how to prevent its spread,” said Anita.

PT Semen Padang Company Doctor Dr. Andy Riva Dana, in his presentation during the joint gymnastics competition, said that the issue of HIV/AIDS is a serious problem. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), is a disease that paralyzes the body’s defense system, so that people infected with HIV are easily exposed to other diseases.

The characteristics of HIV itself are known to only be able to survive and replicate within the human body and cannot live outside the human body. Meanwhile, AIDS, or with the abbreviation Acquired Immune, Defieciency Syndrome, are symptoms caused by HIV.

HIV/AIDS, he continued, is a deadly and contagious disease for which there is currently no cure. And, concentrated epidemics in certain populations can lead to epidemics in the general population. “This hidden epidemic has created an iceberg phenomenon. However, it needs to be emphasized that HIV/AIDS cannot be transmitted through social relationships,” he said.

Dr. Andy Riva added that HIV/AIDS can be transmitted due to several things, especially the use of non-sterile syringes and free sex. “For this reason, let’s avoid this potential. It is hoped that this socialization can instill understanding in all of us and the environment around us,” said Andy Riva.

One of the employees of PT Semen Padang, M Andeka Frandala, expressed his gratitude to the company management for facilitating employees in joint gymnastics competitions. According to him, this joint gymnastics competition activity can indirectly create a culture of morning exercise for employees.

Apart from that, this joint gymnastics competition is of course also an opportunity to increase friendship between PT Semen Padang employees, and can also increase employee cohesiveness. Because, after the joint gymnastics competition there was also a Rank I quiz which was participated in by employees between departments. “The competition for ranking 1 was very exciting, it turned out that most of the questions given came from the presentation about HIV/AIDS,” said Andeka.

Then, another benefit of this joint exercise, added Andeka, is the socialization and education activities from company doctors about HIV/AIDS. “For me personally, education and outreach about HIV/AIDS can increase my understanding of the dangers of HIV/AIDS,” concluded Andeka.

The joint exercise competition was also enlivened by the distribution of attractive door prizes from a number of sponsors such as Mandiri Inhealth, Semen Padang Hospital (SPH), and Hermina Mother and Child Hospital (RSIA). Apart from distributing door prizes, there were also free health checks from SPH.

The Ministry of Economy notes an increase in the level of well-being of Belarusians | Economy

by Ethan Caldwell December 5, 2023

written by Ethan Caldwell

This was confirmed by a study by the Scientific Research Institute of the Ministry of Economy on the achievements of socio-economic development of Belarus over the past 30 years, the press service of the Ministry of Economy reported.

Thus, in 1992, the purchase of goods and services accounted for 9 times more expenses than savings. In 2022, this ratio is already different – 6.4 to 1.

There is a decrease in the share of essential goods in favor of medical, educational and other services. If in 1992 about half of all household expenses were spent on food, then in 2022 it will be less than 40%.

Over the past 30 years, Belarusians began to consume more fruits and berries (2.5 times), vegetables (2.2 times), fish (2 times), meat (1.3 times).

“The growth in the level of well-being has made it possible to provide not only the primary needs of citizens. For our people, a car has ceased to be a luxury: the supply of passenger cars has increased more than 5 times. The housing issue was successfully resolved: the number of square meters per resident increased by 1.6 times,” the Ministry of Economy noted.

China Implements New Stimulus Measures to Boost Economy Amidst Pandemic Struggles

by Ethan Caldwell October 16, 2023

written by Ethan Caldwell

China is struggling to speed up its economy in the wake of the corona pandemic, and on Monday the central bank steps in with new stimulus. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) is injecting a net 289 billion yuan ($39.6 billion) via a 1-year lending facility, in the biggest stimulus to the interbank system since December 2020.

At the same time, it drew a net 134 billion yuan in short-term liquidity through open market operations.

Steer towards 5 percent this year?

Furthermore, the interest rate on the expected one-year loan facility (MLF) was kept unchanged at 2.50 per cent. The interest rate forms the floor for China’s reference interest rate (loan prime rate), which will be announced next Friday.

The measures come as Beijing considers a new round of stimulus to help the economy reach its official target for GDP growth of around 5 percent annually. The Ministry of Finance issued 1.2 trillion yuan worth of government bonds in September, 60 percent above the average for the same period over the past three years, figures from Bloomberg.

GDP growth in China was 6.3 per cent on an annual basis in the second quarter, up from 4.5 per cent in the first quarter. Forecasts from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last week pointed towards GDP growth on target in 2023, that is 5.0 per cent.

The billion packages are in the queue

Additional liquidity is on the way, including a 1 trillion yuan program to help regional governments refinance hidden debt – a risk Beijing is keen to reduce. The hidden debt, which originates from loans regional authorities take out “off the books” to plug funding gaps in the budgets, rose sharply during the pandemic. The loans have a shorter repayment period and much higher interest rates than in the bond market.

Beijing is also considering an additional issuance of government bonds of at least 1,000 billion yuan earmarked for infrastructure, as the news agency has mentioned previously.

– The PBOC may lower the one-year MLF interest rate by the end of the year, and the expectation is that Chinese interest rates will stay “lower for longer” because growth is likely to be weak during the current transition period, says macro strategist for China, Becky Liu, at Standard Chartered Bank .
