US-Präsident mit gravierenden Geschichts- und GedächtnislückenEin Standpunkt von Wolfgang Effenberger.US-Präsident Donald Trump übte am 27. Februar 2025 erneut scharfe Kritik an der Europäischen Union und drohte mit neuen Zöllen von 25 Prozent auf Importe aus der EU an, die „für Autos und alle anderen Dinge“ gelten sollen. (1) Trump warf den Europäern vor, die USA auszunutzen, und behauptete sogar,die EU sei gegründet worden, „um die USA über den Tisch zu ziehen“.(2)Dies sei "der Zweck" der EU. (3) Die EU-Kommission reagierte prompt auf diese neuen Drohungen und kündigte an, dass Europa "sofort und entschlossen" reagieren werde. (4)Trumps Behauptung stellt die Entstehungsgeschichte der EU auf den Kopf. Provokation oder tatsächliche Unwissenheit? Trumps Parteifreund, der Republikaner und ehemalige Vizefinanzminister von Präsident Ronald Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts, versprach sich am 24. Juni 2016 – direkt nach dem BREXIT-Referendum –„ein Auseinanderbrechen der EU und der NATO und damit die Vermeidung des Dritten Weltkriegs“. (5)In EU und NATO sieht Roberts ebenso wie Trump, böse Institutionen, (6) jedoch von einem diametralen Ansatz her:„Diese beiden Institutionen sind Mechanismen, die von Washington geschaffen wurden, um die Souveränität der europäischen Völker zu zerstören. Diese beiden Institutionen geben Washington die Kontrolle über die westliche Welt und dienen sowohl als Deckmantel als auch als Ermöglicher für Washingtons Aggressionen. Ohne die EU und die NATO könnte Washington Europa und das Vereinigte Königreich nicht in einen Konflikt mit Russland zwingen, und Washington hätte in 15 Jahren nicht sieben muslimische Länder zerstören können, ohne als verhasste Kriegsverbrecherregierung isoliert zu werden, deren Mitglieder nicht ins Ausland reisen könnten, ohne verhaftet und vor Gericht gestellt zu werden.“ (7)Marksteine nach 1945 auf dem Weg in die heutige KatastropheNach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg galt es dann, Europa für den Krieg gegen die Sowjetunion fit zu machen.Am 15. Mai 1947 verkündete US-Präsident Harry S. Truman seine Doktrin zur Eindämmung der weiteren Ausdehnung der Sowjetunion.Am 6. Juni 1947 folgte der Marshallplan. Er hatte das Ziel, Westeuropa gegen den Ostblock zu stärken und der noch vom Krieg überhitzten amerikanischen Wirtschaft Absatzmärkte zu öffnen. (8)Am 26. Juli 1947 wurde der „National Security Act" für die militärische Durchdringung der Welt verabschiedet, eines der wichtigsten Gesetze der US-amerikanischen Nachkriegsgeschichte. Er ist bis heute die Grundlage weltweiter amerikanischer Militärmacht.Alle drei Ereignisse sind auf ein Ziel ausgerichtet: Die Zerstörung der SowjetunionDie heutige EU geht auf das „American Committee for European Unit" zurück.Am 23. April 1948 fand in New York ein erstes Treffen mit dem Ziel der Gründung des "American Committee for European Unit" (ACUE) statt.Dieses Komitee zur Unterstützung eines "freien und vereinigten Europa" war mit 17 Männern und zwei Frauen hochkarätig besetzt: der Diplomat William C. Bullitt, Ex-Präsident Herbert C. Hoover, der aus dem Umfeld der US-Geheimdienste zum Präsidenten des "Council on Foreign Relations" (CFR) aufgestiegene Allen Dulles oder William Joseph Donovan, der ehemalige Leiter des US-Geheimdienstes OSS...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/eklat-im-oval-office-eine-gelungene-inszenierung-von-wolfgang-effenberger/ Hosted on Acast.

Entrepreneur Arron Banks shot to prominence during and after the UK's 2016 Brexit Referendum, where financial support for ‘Leave' made him the country's largest-ever political donor. Later that year, Banks and political ally Nigel Farage were Donald Trump's first foreign visitors after the returned US President's first shock victory. In this fascinating interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg, Banks explains why South Africa is key in the Trump Administration's strategy to address global political imbalances, cautioning about likely consequences from the ANC's doubling down in its tug of the Eagle's tail feathers. He also shares his SA connections; the spectacular growth of Farage's Reform Party (now leading UK polls); and a long-running R150m fraud case against the South African miner who hosted Ramaphosa at the RWC. Banks will speak about Trump and SA at BNC#7.
In our final installation of our festive "What If" series Jon, Emily and Lewis ask what might have happened if Boris Johnson had decided to back the remain campaign rather than the leave campaign during the Brexit referendum? What if the Hong Kong handover hadn't happened? Is there a world where Hong Kong's democracy and independence could have been better protected?And finally, what if Rishi Sunak hadn't called the election early? Would the Tories have had any time to redeem themselves? Or would Reform have been able to gain more of the vote share?Tickets to The News Agents Live On Stage with HSBC UK are now on sale!

Seit etwas über 10 Jahren nehmen Trollfarmen strategisch Einfluss auf internationale, nationale und gesellschaftliche Prozesse wie die Annexion der Krim, die US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2016 und das Brexit Referendum. Mittels gezielter Online Kampagnen spielen sie eine signifikante Rolle bei der Beeinflussung der öffentlichen Meinung oder der Verstärkung bestimmter politischer Narrative. Während Social Media Plattformen wie Twitter, Facebook oder TicToc wenig Handlungsbedarf sehen (wollen) können Datenanalysten wie das niederländische Forschungsinstitut Trollrensics ebenso regelmäßige wie wirkmächtige Einflussnahmen nachweisen. Beispielsweise als bei der letzten Europa Wahl offenbar russische Trollarmeen die Stimmung zu Gunsten von beispielsweise AFD und BSW beeinflussten. Ein Gespräch mit Robert van der Noordaa und Richard Odekerken über die Entstehung von Trollrensics, die Mechanismen von Desinformationskampagnen, Yevgeny Prigorzhin und die Internet Research Agency, mithilfe welcher Mustererkennung Fake Profile identifiziert werden können und warum die Menschen auf Social Media längst in der Minderheit sind. [ENGLISH VERSION] For just over 10 years, troll farms have been strategically influencing international, national and social processes such as the annexation of Crimea, the 2016 US presidential election and the Brexit referendum. Using targeted online campaigns, they play a significant role in influencing public opinion or reinforcing certain political narratives. While social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook or TicToc (want to) see little need for action, data analysts such as the Dutch research institute Trollrensics can prove that they exert influence just as regularly as they do effectively. For example, when Russian troll armies apparently influenced public opinion in favour of the AFD and BSW in the last European elections. A conversation with Robert van der Noordaa and Richard Odekerken about the origins of Trollrensics, the mechanisms of disinformation campaigns, Yevgeny Prigorzhin and the Internet Research Agency, how pattern recognition can be used to identify fake profiles and why people have long been in the minority on social media.

GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Sean Finch is a passionate advocate for free speech and individual liberty, known for his active involvement with the Libertarian Party. Born and raised in Lewisham, Sean's political journey began unexpectedly after the 2016 Brexit Referendum, where he was dismayed by the refusal of some to accept the democratic outcome.

Dr. Anamaria Dutceac Segesten, Associate Professor in Strategic Communication at Lund University, joins a discussion of cross-cutting expression and its implications for digital campaigning on Facebook. On the theory side, we discuss concepts of online self-expression and cross-pressures. We also discuss how political ideology can be inferred from Facebook reactions such as 'likes' and 'loves'. Finally, we discuss what topic models of the Brexit debate around Facebook can reveal about how and what Facebook users discussed around the referendum.

Mit ihr blicken wir auf die aktuell verrückt anmutende britische Politik, Brexitiers auf Tinder, pragmatisch Brit:innen und fehlende Konzepte für die Zukunft.

Landslide... the whole Tory government has been a shambles since Cameron dropped the ball with the Brexit Referendum. Ever since, seeds of division have been sown amongst the 'proletariat' of this once 'shining beacon to the rest of Europe' if it ever had that tile to hold. Never forget this sordid event that took place, hounding people susceptible to the narrative that has split many apart from their families, friends, and other loved ones, as well as isolating those who need care the most, leaving them vulnerable. No accountability has been taken for a damn thing said in that Houses of Party-ment. Whilst the British people have rejected truths about themselves and have instead favoured throwing more oil on the fire, the public face the worst austerity crisis in the wake of the pandemic and botched rollouts of what appears to be a faulty vaccination program. Speaking of oil, how is one of the strongholds of the world's oil reserves holding up? Let's remember the women and allies of Iran who are protesting for their human rights to be respected.

As I am typing up the show notes for our latest podcast, news has come in that former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has been assassinated during a campaign event. A sad, sinister reminder that contrary to what the soon former prime minister of the UK would have us believe, it's not all a laugh and a half. As if we needed reminding. The murder of Sir David Amess was only nine months ago, and Jo Cox was killed just before the Brexit Referendum, in June 2016. Culture wars and wedge politics will only ever make things worse. Even The Spectator is now pushing back against the growing Trumpification of political discourse in the UK. But that was never an issue for the P.T. Barnum of British politics and his confederacy of dunces, as Sam generously labels Her Majesty's continuously thinning Government. But the times they are about to be a-changin: together with a majority of – not just the Westminster commentariat but – the great British public, the SmallDataForum punditariat on Friday rejoiced in the news that finally, FINALLY, the Shagamemnon (thanks Marina Hyde) of Downing Street, the tousled blonde cherub, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, announced his resignation on 7 July as leader of the UK's Conservative Party. He remains Prime Minister until a new party leader is voted on by Conservative MPs and party members. Continue reading -> https://www.smalldataforum.com/

Fast vier Jahre dauerte es, bis Großbritannien nach dem Brexit-Referendum im Juni 2016 aus der EU austrat. Dass die Verhandlungen sich so lange hinzogen, lag unter anderem an der Nordirland-Frage – denn durch den Brexit sollte nicht wieder eine harte Grenze auf der Insel entstehen. Der Kompromiss war, dass Nordirland faktisch Teil des Binnenmarkts und der Zollunion bleibt. Doch dieser Kompromiss – das Nordirland-Protokoll – wird nun von der britischen Regierung infrage gestellt. Was die Gründe dafür sind und was die EU dagegen unternimmt, bespricht Ole Pflüger mit Bettina Schulz, die für ZEIT ONLINE aus Großbritannien berichtet. Im allgemeinen Bewusstsein ist die Corona-Pandemie in Deutschland derzeit nicht sehr präsent. Doch die Omikron-Mutationen BA.4 und BA.5 breiten sich rasant in Deutschland aus – die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz ist derzeit doppelt so hoch wie noch vor einer Woche. Kommt es also zu einer Sommerwelle? Und wie hoch wird diese? Das erklärt Linda Fischer aus dem Wissensressort von ZEIT ONLINE. Und sonst so? Die Fantastische Riesenschildkröte galt als ausgestorben – doch sie lebt.

Zum ersten Mal habe ich mir zwei Gästinnen eingelalden, um über eine unserer gemeinsamen Lieblingsautorinnen zu reden – die Schriftstellerinnen Leona Stahlmann und Kristine Bilkau. Leonas Debüt Der Defekt hat mich durch seine poetische Kraft und gleichzeitige Sprachverspieltheit total eingenommen und ich kann ihn wirklich jedem empfehlen. Ihr neuer Roman, Diese ganzen belanglosen Wunder erscheint in wenigen Wochen, ich durfte schon mal reinlesen und kann verraten, dass wir uns auch da wieder auf große Sprachkunst freuen dürfen. Kristine ist Fempire-Wiederholungstäterin, vor ein paar Monaten haben wir hier schon einmal über unsere Liebe zur britischen Schriftstellerin Deborah Levy gesprochen. Inzwischen ist Kristines dritter Roman Nebenan erschienen, den ich nicht aus der Hand legen konnte und in 12 Stunden am Stück gelesen habe. Es ist ein ganz fantastischer, präziser, schmerzhafter Roman, den ich einfach nur jedem Leser und jeder Leserin ans Herz legen kann. In unserem Gespräch tauschen wir uns über unsere Leidenschaft für die schottische Schriftstellerin Ali Smith aus, die in den vergangenen Jahren vor allem mit ihrem Jahreszeitenquartett hohe Wellen geschlagen hat. Das Jahreszeitenquarett ist ein aberwitziges, poetisches Projekt, in dem Smith versucht, so nah wie möglich an der Gegenwart zu bleiben und quasi in Echtzeit an den Jahreszeiten entlang die Zeit in der wir leben, literarisch zu verarbeiten. Als sie anfing mit diesem Projekt, war das Brexit-Referendum gerade erst angekündigt worden. Was folgte, wissen wir alle und Smith konnte wohl kaum ahnen, was sie alles in ihren Romanen verarbeiten würde müssen – Ströme von Geflüchteten, Brexit, der Aufstieg von Diktatoren, immer häufiger werdende Klimakatastrophen und schließlich auch noch eine Pandemie. Smith hat mit großer Sprachkraft, Humor, und ganz viel Liebe zu den Menschen ein absolutes, wahnwitziges literarisches Meisterwerk geschaffen. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Bände uns persönlich am nächsten sind, ob und warum Smith eine „writer's writer“ ist und was diese Bücher mit uns gemacht haben. Spoiler: Smith schafft es mit ihrer Arbeit, uns selbst in diesen unfassbar dusteren Zeiten, ein Licht anzuzünden und Hoffnung zu geben. Ein kleiner Disclaimer: Leider hatten wir aufgrund der Dreierschalte diesmal ziemliche Technikprobleme und die Tonqualität ist leider streckenweise nicht so ganz gut. Ich hoffe, ihr verzeiht das und könnt das Gespräch trotzdem genießen. Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt, freue ich mich, wenn ihr ihn teilt, empfehlt, auf Abonnieren klickt und uns bei Instagram unter Fempire_Podcast folgt. Alles über Ali Smith findet ihr hier.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Dulcie Everitt joins us to discuss her new book BrexLit: The Problem of Englishness in Pre- and Post-Brexit Referendum Literature (Zer0 Books; 2022). Dulcie's book delves into the idea of the sub-nationalist English identity (as opposed to British identity; English identity would be different from Welsh, Scottish, or Irish identity) in literature before and after the Brexit referendum that saw the UK leave the EU. It is important to note in this regard that England had a greater "Leave" vote than either "Scotland" or "Ireland", both of which voted "Remain", on the referendum. In this conversation we delve into the issue of what English identity is and how it is amorphous, slippery, or difficult to easily define. We delve into Englishness as an identity as it relates to both empire and post-Empire Britain. This, of course, brings us to the topic of Brexit, what it was, how it was spearheaded by figures like the Tory Party's Boris Johnson and UKIP's Nigel Farage, the formation of English nationalism as a retaliation to insurgent sub-nationalisms, the role of nostalgia in the Leave campaign and Boris Johnson's famous "Take Back Control!" line, the history of Euroscepticism on both the Right and the Left, why a second referendum is unfeasible now, xenophobia and racism in relation to Brexit, Ian McEwan's Kafka inspired take on Brexit in the form of the novel The Cockroach, as well as the more hope Autumn by Scottish author Ali Smith, Jonathan Coe's The Rotters' Club and its Brexit-influenced sequel Middle England, the dystopian Perfidious Albion by Sam Byers, the question of cosmopolitanism, and much, much more!

Indra Adnan is a psychosocial therapist, founder of The Alternative Global and author of The Politics of Waking up: Power and possibility in the fractal age. She has been a journalist, a director of a political think tank and a community organiser. She is always an activist. Her passion is the creation of methods of connection that allow everyone to be fully themselves, to find the place from which meaning and purpose arise and to act from there. She gave up her job at the think tank on the day the British MP Jo Cox was murdered in the run up to the 2016 Brexit Referendum, and has spent the time since then considering and creating ways to bring about the change we need to see if we're going to address the climate, ecological and cultural chaos of our time. In this conversation, we delve deep into the ways we might do things differently - how does a different kind of politics and governance work? How does it feel? What are the logistics and how might we bring it about? On the way, we consider the creation of an alternative media system - one that brings people together instead of splitting them apart - and the ways that local citizens action networks (CANs) can join together to create a movement of movements with unstoppable momentum.

Does June 2016 seem like only yesterday? Or does it seem like an eternity? Fives years on from the referendum hosts Luke Cooper and Zoe Williams meet up with Laura Parker from the Another Europe National Committee to reflect on a period of dramatic change in UK politics. They uncover some small shoots of hope, despite all the problems we face, and lay out a strategy for the movement going forward from here. We also hear from some other members of the Another Europe National Committee with Zoe Gardner, Alex Fernandes, Julie Ward, and Shaista Aziz, offering their thoughts on five years of pain but also tremendous resistance.

Fünf Jahre nach dem Brexit-Referendum ist vieles ist komplizierter und kaum etwas besser geworden. Darüber und über Umzüge diskutieren Thomas, Vassili und Christoph.
The vote to leave the European Union on 23 June 2016 marked the start of a tumultuous period in British politics. The government was set on a collision course with parliament over what Brexit really meant. The civil service began to untangle 43 years of EU membership, building up new capabilities and preparing for new responsibilities. And the Brexit effect placed the United Kingdom under huge strain – with growing support for independence in Scotland and a new border in the Irish Sea. What impact has the referendum had on the governance of the UK? Has control really returned to parliament, or to the government? And what does Brexit mean for the future of the union? To mark five years since the end of the referendum, the Institute for Government brought together people who were either involved in, or had front-row seats to, this remarkable period in British politics. We were joined by: Katy Balls, Deputy Political Editor at The Spectator Luke Graham, former MP for Ochil and South Perthshire, 2017-19, and former head of the Union Unit in No.10 Lord McDonald of Salford, former Permanent Under Secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 2015-20 Lisa O'Carroll, Brexit Correspondent at The Guardian The event was chaired by Maddy Thimont Jack, Associate Director at the Institute for Government.

Fünf Jahre nach dem Brexit-Referendum vom 23. Juni 2016 und dem Brexit müsse sich die EU auf politische Dauerkonflikte mit Großbritannien einstellen, sagt Nicolai von Ondarza von der Berliner Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik in SWR2. Das gelte für die Handelspolitik ebenso wie für Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik. Es werde vermutlich zu dauerhaften Spannungen über das Abkommen zwischen EU und dem United Kingdom über die Wirtschafts- und Handelsbeziehungen nach dem Brexit kommen. Ein "heißer Sommer" sei allein in der Nordirland-Frage zu erwarten, weil sich die britische Regierung weigere, die im Abkommen vereinbarte faktische Zollgrenze zwischen britischer und irischer Insel wirklich zu akzeptieren. Die EU werde vermutlich allerdings Kompromisse machen und längere Übergangsfristen für eine Lösung akzeptieren müssen. Schon jetzt seien die wirtschaftlichen Folgen des Brexit zu beobachten. In den deutschen Außenhandelsbeziehungen sei Großbritannien vom dritten auf den achten Platz zurückgefallen, unter anderem hinter Italien und Polen.

In this richly observed account of migrant shopkeepers in five cities in the United Kingdom, Suzanne Hall examines the brutal contradictions of sovereignty and capitalism in the formation of street livelihoods in the urban margins. Hall locates The Migrant's Paradox: Street Livelihoods and Marginal Citizenship in Britain (University of Minnesota Press, 2021) on streets in the far-flung parts of de-industrialized peripheries, where jobs are hard to come by and the impacts of historic state underinvestment are deeply felt. Drawing on hundreds of in-person interviews on streets in Birmingham, Bristol, Leicester, London, and Manchester, Hall brings together histories of colonization with current forms of coloniality. Her six-year project spans the combined impacts of the 2008 financial crisis, austerity governance, punitive immigration laws and the Brexit Referendum, and processes of state-sanctioned regeneration. She incorporates the spaces of shops, conference halls, and planning offices to capture how official border talk overlaps with everyday formations of work and belonging on the street. Original and ambitious, Hall's work complicates understandings of migrants, demonstrating how migrant journeys and claims to space illuminate the relations between global displacement and urban emplacement. In articulating “a citizenship of the edge” as an adaptive and audacious mode of belonging, she shows how sovereignty and inequality are maintained and refuted. Suzanne M. Hall is associate professor of sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she codirects the Cities Programme. She is the author of City, Street and Citizen: The Measure of the Ordinary and co-editor of The Sage Handbook of the 21st Century City. Alize Arıcan is an incoming Postdoctoral Fellow at Rutgers University's Center for Cultural Analysis. She is an anthropologist whose research focuses on urban renewal, futurity, care, and migration in Istanbul, Turkey. Her work has been featured in Current Anthropology, City & Society, Radical Housing Journal, and entanglements: experiments in multimodal ethnography. Learn more about your ad choices.

Was ist eigentlich typisch walisisch? Das können die meisten Nicht-Waliser kaum beantworten. Wenn überhaupt kommt vielen wohl das Brexit Referendum in Erinnerung - denn damals stimmte ja nicht nur England, sondern auch Wales mit einer Mehrheit für den EU-Ausstieg. Was die meisten nicht wissen: Die Waliser wollten in der EU bleiben. Die Leave-Stimmen aus Wales kamen hauptsächlich von alten Engländern, die ihre Rente in Wales verbringen, das hat jetzt ein Geographie Professor mit Hilfe einer Studie herausgefunden. In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit verschiedenen Walisern über ihr Land, ihren Kampf um Unabhängigkeit von England und räumen mit hartnäckigen Vorurteilen auf.

Roy talked with Professor Alan Sked, founder of the UK Independence Party, about the upcoming U.K. elections, the possibility of a second Brexit referendum, and the sense of anger in the U.K. Guest: Professor Alan Sked, Professor Emeritus at the London School of Economics, Founder of UKIP.

Title: The Weaponization of Social Media This lecture is a part of The Institute of World Politics Capitol Hill Speaker Series. About the Lecture: Ethan Burger will examine the relevance of the Russian concepts ‘Hybrid War' and ‘Cyberwarfare' as applied to Russian intervention in the 2016 Brexit Referendum and U.S. Presidential Election. This lecture will focus on the similarity of Russia's social media campaigns which used false information, fake news, and other content aimed at exploiting the fears and passions of the UK and U.S. electorates. The Kremlin did not rely on the use of social media alone to obtain favorable electoral outcomes. In both cases, Russian ties to supporters of Brexit and the Trump campaign remained largely unnoticed until after voting. Finally, Mr. Burger will explore some steps that might be taken to reduce the vulnerability of countries' citizens to foreign manipulation. About the Speaker: Ethan S. Burger, Esq., is a Washington-based international legal consultant and educator, and he is an adjunct professor at the Institute of World Politics. His areas of interest include corporate governance, transnational crime (corruption, cybercrime, and money laundering), and Russian affairs. After working as an attorney on Russian commercial, investment, and risk issues, he segued into academic, research, and advisory roles. Mr. Burger has been a full-time faculty member at American University (School of International Law) and the University of Wollongong (Faculty of Law), and he has also been an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown University Law Center, University of Baltimore, and Washington College of Law. Mr. Burger has lectured in Colombia, India, and Singapore, and he has taught on cyber issues at Vilnius University on a Fulbright Foundation grant. He holds an A.B. from Harvard University and a J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center.
How could a new referendum on Britain's relationship with Europe work? As pressure mounts on Theresa May to seal an agreement on Brexit, there are growing calls for a further referendum on the issue. From across the political spectrum, MPs, trade unions and campaigners are demanding another vote on the terms of the deal, or lack of one. In the Briefing Room, David Aaronovitch examines the mechanics of this hypothetical proposition. What would the procedure be to trigger another referendum and how would it be organised? And is there enough time? Guests: Chris Morris, BBC Reality Check Alan Renwick, deputy director of the Constitution Unit, University College London Professor Catherine Barnard, Senior Fellow at the UK in a Changing Europe Initiative at King's College London Professor Matt Qvortrup of Coventry University Katya Adler, BBC Europe Editor
Andrew Adonis, a Labour member of the UK House of Lords and leading Remain campaigner, talks to Paul Adamson about stopping Brexit and preparing for a second referendum.
Das erfolgreiche Brexit-Referendum wirkt sich nicht nur auf die EU-Politik aus, auch die Wirtschaft wird voraussichtlich leiden. Die vielen Unsicherheiten, die auf Großbritannien und die EU zukommen, haben deshalb auch den DAX auf Talfahrt geschickt.
