German media attention on November 13th began with the resolution of the US government shutdown, as President Trump signed the interim budget. Concurrently, a new military service model in Germany, mandating all 18-year-old men to undergo conscription, was agreed upon by the Union and SPD.
By early afternoon, focus shifted to pro-Palestine activists scaling the Brandenburg Gate, leading to police intervention. Revelations from Jeffrey Epstein's case, particularly concerning Trump's alleged knowledge, also gained traction.
In the evening, the primary focus became the coalition government's agreement on an industrial electricity price, a new power plant strategy, and a reduction in air travel tax. This decision, aimed at economic relief, generated significant criticism from climate activists.
