Disruption in Spanish Transport Sector
Haven't stepped foot outside for a week? That's understandable, with cable thefts shutting down train services across Berlin. The city's public transportation has been hit hard, as cable vandalism affected five different locations simultaneously. Service disruptions impacted S1, S2, S25, and S26 lines, making travel between Nordbahnhof and Gesundbrunnen a nightmare.
But don't worry, the Federal Police are on the case. They're investigating the intentional cable thefts, particularly as they targeted crucial signaling systems. As of now, there are no leads or suspects to report. But hey, Berliners, keep your eyes peeled, any info could help!
Meanwhile, back in the political arena, the red-black coalition is officially up and running! Conservatives and social democrats have joined forces, and Friedrich Merz, the upcoming Chancellor, is determined to make it a success. The coalition's main priority? Facing the challenges of the ongoing war in Ukraine and modernizing Germany's army with a whopping 500 billion in special funds.
So, German folks, keep your fingers crossed for a smooth ride (digital and analog) ahead. Oh, and if you come across any shady characters near train tracks, give the cops a shout! :)
