18,8 % für die Rechtsextremen bei der Wahl in Baden-Württemberg.
Auch in Darmstadt wird am Sonntag gewählt. Bei der Kommunalwahl 2021 bekam die AfD hier 4,6 % der Stimmen. Jede Stimme für Rechtsradikale ist eine zu viel – aber mit solchen Ergebnissen kann eine Demokratie umgehen.
Umso wichtiger ist es, wählen zu gehen. Mehr Stimmen für demokratische Parteien stärken unsere Demokratie.

Eläköön ihmeellinen monimuotoisuus | Luonto-Suomi
Luonnon monimuotoisuus on maapallon arvokkain ja vähiten arvostettu ominaisuus, on biologi Edward Wilson todennut. Maailmassa on miljoonia eliölajeja, erityisesti hyönteisiä on hämmästyttävä määrä, ja uusia lajeja löydetään jatkuvasti. Samaan aikaan lajeja kuolee sukupuuttoon huolestuttavaa vauhtia.

A trade deal meant to showcase the trading prowess of Brexit Britain no longer looks like such a triumph.
The announcement this week of a free trade agreement between the EU and Australia has twisted the knife.
A particularly sore point was that the U.K. deal with Australia

— will eventually allow Australian meat to enter the U.K. tariff-free, raising fears that large volumes of cheaper imported me…
