81 years ago the Wehrmacht surrendered. Europe lay in rubble and ashes. Other countries celebrate “Liberation Day.” Historians Hedwig Richter and Magnus Brechtken say how Germany should celebrate the day. A pro and con.
The extraordinary regularization approved by the Government, already underway, is a milestone for the hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants residing in Spain. But it is also a business opportunity for lawyers specialized in immigration (about 28,000). The professional associations denounce that the Administration has implied that their services are not necessary to complete the procedure. And they feel displaced by the fact that the Government has allowed accredited social entities (NGOs and unions) to issue vulnerability certificates and process the files in their entirety.Continue reading
Politicians have not done their homework. Not yet. To date, there is no draft for the Pay Transparency Act, let alone the law itself. “The EU Pay Transparency Directive will be implemented into national law during this legislative period. The legislative process will be initiated shortly.” This was announced by the Federal Ministry for Education, Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth a few days ago. Companies react very differently to the missing law or its draft. According to their own statements, the majority are already well prepared for the new transparency that will inevitably come, or have set out to…
Never has a divorce been so successful. Not even a hero had such an ideal name: Battle. Never had a fan that hated its president so much been so happy in the streets celebrating what Rayo had achieved with that same president. As if joy had been waiting for 102 years, Vallecas took to the streets this Thursday after his team’s victory against Strasbourg that gave them a place in the final of the Conference League.

The president of the Junta de Andalucía and PP candidate for re-election, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, has decided to focus his campaign on appealing to the useful vote to revalidate the absolute majority and not have to depend on Vox, and for this reason he is reluctant to say whether he would sign the same agreements with the ultras as his counterparts in Extremadura and Aragón. “I am not considering anything because we are in a position to achieve a sufficient majority,” he said this Thursday during a breakfast organized by the Nueva Economía Forum in the Andalusian capital.Continue reading
New smart SPIEGEL search function helps descendants find Nazi files. Billions of dollars invested in the German rail network have not yet had an impact. And Rheinmetall wants to save the Navy’s frigate project. This is the situation on Thursday evening.
For years she has been Carlota Saorsa, but, much to her regret, this Thursday she appeared as a witness in court under her real name, Sonia P. She was the woman who recorded for months, between mid-2018 and the end of 2019, the irregularities she observed in the company Vivotecnia, dedicated to animal experimentation, located in Tres Cantos (Madrid). Under his anonymity, he handed over the dozens of hours of recording to the NGO Cruelty Free International, which made them public in April 2021 and sparked an investigation that led to a trial. “It was very common for animals to…
AI competence is the new door opener in the application process. A study by the Oxford Internet Institute shows that applicants with AI skills on their CV are measurably more likely to be invited to an interview – regardless of whether they bring proof or state their competence themselves. Labor market researchers Fabian Stephany, Ole Teutloff and Angelo Leone from the Oxford Internet Institute conducted a study with 1,725 recruiters from Great Britain and the USA to examine the effect that AI skills have on hiring decisions. The concept: The recruiters each chose between two candidate profiles that differed in…
It’s Black-Red’s birthday: For a year now, the Union and the SPD, led by Chancellor Merz, have wanted to take on “responsibility for Germany” according to their coalition agreement. They have undertaken all sorts of things in the area of HR-relevant topics (we reported). While some things have already been implemented, much of it is still a long way off. This sometimes also causes uncertainty in human resources departments. Collective Bargaining Act? Check! The Federal Collective Bargaining Act was recently given the green light: Since the beginning of May 2026, companies that take on federal contracts have been obliged to…
In Germany, Russian agents are acting increasingly unrestrained. Foreign Minister Wadephul is unshakably optimistic about his relationship with the USA. And somewhere in the North Sea there is a whale swimming. This is the situation on Thursday morning.
