🇩🇪 | The 2025 Federal Election in Germany
On February 23, nearly 60 million voters in Germany cast their ballots, resulting in a voter turnout of 82.5% — the highest since 1990. The CDU/CSU secured a decisive victory, positioning Friedrich Merz as the likely next Chancellor.
🎉We send our congratulations to Laurynas Kasčiūnas on becoming the new Chair of Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats (TS-LKD) with a strong mandate receiving a large majority of the vote!
🕯 Today, we pause to reflect, remembering the millions whose lives were lost during the Holocaust.
Our duty is to remember, educate, and share these stories for future generations.

Ļoti vērtīga saruna ar @KAS_Baltic vadītāju Baltijas valstīs @OliverMorwinsky un @SpelmaneUna par pieaugošajiem dezinformācijas un ārvalstu iejaukšanās draudiem Eiropā kopumā un arī tieši Latvijā. Apspriedām sociālo platformu pieaugošo nozīmi politiskajos procesos un ar to saistītos riskus vēlēšanu drošībai. Kā vairot mūsu noturību pret meliem un maldiem paliek aktuāls jautājums arī darbam nākamajā gadā.
