Evelyn Palla Makes History as First Female CEO of Deutsche Bahn
Evelyn Palla has made history as the first female CEO of Deutsche Bahn. Despite the railway trade union EVG voting against her appointment, she was approved for the role. Meanwhile, Germany is looking towards the stars, investing in the Artemis program to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon.
Palla's appointment comes after a heated debate in the Bundestag. The Left and Green parties accused the government of trying to dismantle Germany's welfare state, while the AfD leader labelled Chancellor Friedrich Merz a 'bankrupt chancellor'. Merz, who has visited eastern Germany only twice, faces criticism for not engaging more with the region, where the AfD is popular.
In sports, the Berlin marathon attracted nearly 80,000 participants from around the globe. Tens of thousands of spectators lined the streets to cheer them on. Meanwhile, Oktoberfest, traditionally a Bavarian event, is gaining popularity across the country.
In other news, pro-life and pro-choice demonstrations in Cologne saw roughly equal numbers of protesters. The government is also looking to the future, planning to invest €35 billion by 2030 in a comprehensive outer space defence strategy.
Palla's appointment as the first female CEO of Deutsche Bahn marks a significant milestone. Despite the EVG's vote, she has been approved for the role. Germany's investment in the Artemis program signals a commitment to space exploration. Meanwhile, Chancellor Merz's engagement with eastern Germany remains a topic of debate.
