Each and every year, in various cities in Romania, especially in the capital city of Bucharest, the National Day is celebrated with a Great Military Parade, where thousands of soldiers from all the fields of the romanian army are marching in a synchronized manner, for which they have practiced for more than a month. Along with the troups, a long line of military machines is present, also from the various parts of the romanian army, and since Romania is part of NATO, this year, we had integrated into the parade, teams from Spain, France, USA.
At the parade were present a great deal of officials from the political apparatus, but also from the administrative, and the religious field. The Official Ceremony was opened by the Romanian President, His Excellency Klaus Werner Johannis, who salutted the audience and also laied down a corrona of flowers in the memory of the romanian soldiers that died in the two world wars. At the ceremony was also present the Mayor of Bucharest, Nicusor Dan.
The entire parade lasted for no more than an hour, but for this a lot of people, had prepared estimatively for two months in advance. From the official data, it seems that more than one hundred thousand people were present in the audience at the Military Parade. Funny enough, immediately after the parade all the public transport was put to a standstil, because of the huge crowds present in the area. In the end, everything went well, and we remained with some very nice memories. Long live Romania!

UNTOLD Dubai promises to take the already well-known spirit of the UNTOLD Festival to new heights.
After they launched Armin van Buuren's super recital on the Burj Khalifa in August, in a super production that meant placing a stage on one of the upper platforms of the skyscraper, exposing the UNTOLD logo on the entire tower and a spectacular series of footage from the drone, until now, those from UNTOLD Dubai have already launched three stages of ticket sales, the last of them being launched on the 13th of this month. It is estimated that around 25-30 thousand tickets have been sold so far.
What is even more surprising is that the tickets were put on sale, without presenting any information about the line-up of the great festival in Dubai, which will actually be the first musical
experience of this kind in Dubai. All the forums, even the official page of the event, are full of questions about the line-up, but the only information available until this moment is that the list
of artists who will participate in UNTOLD Dubai will be an incendiary one.
So far, there have been a series of hints, quite veiled about a possible line-up, on the official Facebook page of the event, namely David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Robbie Williams, Bebe Rexha, or
Hardwell, but it is possible that they are just some suggestions, thrown in to keep our interest burning. Not that there is any need to throw gas on the fire, especially since it is the first
large-scale Romanian event to move internationally and not anywhere else but in Dubai. It is not the first example of an itinerant festival, it happened before with Coachella, with Tomorrowland, to
have editions outside the already traditional locations.
The organizers of UNTOLD Dubai aim for a minimum number of 70 thousand tickets sold for the first edition of the UNTOLD Dubai Festival, a dream that is not so difficult to achieve.
The tickets were put on sale in several stages, we are currently in full swing of the third stage, initiated on October 13, 2023. The first stage was available exclusively on the basis of invitation
and was reserved exclusively for those who had previously registered on the event's official website and brought with it the sale of over 10,000 tickets.
As for accommodation and transport to and in Dubai, the organizers have already made available a series of packages in collaboration with Dertour.ro, ZTour.ro, NordisTravel, FunTravel or Eturia.ro
and this as solutions for the vast majority of festival goers. For those with a hand or more enthusiasm, the organizers have made available an entire hotel, Rove Expo 2020 Dubai, which is located
right inside the festival. Of course, the prices are reasonable, but who cares about money, when we're talking about a festival that takes place in one of the world's most luxurious locations.

Der SPD-Bundesvorsitzende Lars Klingbeil kommt am 6. Oktober 2023 zur Wahlkampfabschluss-Kundgebung der Bayern SPD nach München.
SPD-Vorsitzender Lars Klingbeil auf dem Marienplatz in München.
Vor den Landtagswahlen in Bayern und Hessen am Sonntag haben führende Politiker der SPD und der Union deren bundespolitische Bedeutung betont. So sagte SPD-Chef Lars Klingbeil beim Wahlkampfabschluss der Sozialdemokraten in München, die Ampelregierung müsse die Anliegen der Menschen schneller lösen, um die hohen Umfragewerte der AfD wieder zu senken. "Ja, wir müssen besser werden und die Alltagssorgen der Menschen lösen", sagte Klingbeil.
Es gehe "nicht um Berlin, die Ampel oder Olaf Scholz". Die CSU sei dafür verantwortlich, dass in Bayern die Energiewende nicht vorankomme, sagte Klingbeil.
Merz wiederholt Forderungen zur Eindämmung von Migration.
CDU-Chef Friedrich Merz rief die bayerischen Wählerinnen und Wähler dazu auf, die Bundespolitik bei der Stimmabgabe im Hinterkopf zu behalten. In einer Videobotschaft beim CSU-Wahlkampfabschluss in
München sagte Merz, die Landtagswahl müsse auch eine Abstimmung über die Politik der Bundesregierung sein.
Im hessischen Taunusstein forderte Merz die Bundesregierung persönlich dazu auf, möglichst bald den sogenannten Deutschland-Pakt anzugehen. So bezeichnet Bundeskanzler Scholz (SPD) seine Pläne zur Modernisierung der Verwaltung, dem ökologischen Umbau der Wirtschaft und der Eindämmung irregulärer Migration – Vorhaben, für die er die Unterstützung der oppositionellen Union benötigt.
Merz betonte hier vor allem den Aspekt der Migration. Es müsse dringend darüber gesprochen werden, wie irreguläre Migration in die sozialen Sicherungssysteme reduziert oder möglichst schnell gestoppt werden könne. Klingbeil verwies auf die Verteilung von Geflüchteten innerhalb der EU, die derzeit Thema von Verhandlungen zur geplanten EU-Asylreform ist.
Söder will Ampel "in die Wüste schicken", Wüst sieht sie auf dem "Recyclinghof".
Ebenfalls mit Blick auf Berlin, aber drastischer als Merz äußerte sich Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder (CSU): "Wir müssen 2025 diese Ampel in die Wüste schicken", sagte er bei der Schlusskundgebung seiner Partei. Die Landtagswahl sei dafür eine wichtige Weichenstellung. Der ebenfalls anwesende nordrhein-westfälische Ministerpräsident Hendrik Wüst (CDU) sagte: "Diese rostige Regierungsampel gehört auf den Recyclinghof."
In Hessen zeigte sich Ministerpräsident Boris Rhein (CDU) ebenfalls kämpferisch. "Wir wollen keine Sonntagsfrage gewinnen, sondern eine Landtagswahl", sagte er auf einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung in Gießen. Auch er wies auf Berlin: "Nur mit uns kann Hessen ampelfrei bleiben", sagte er.
In Hessen und Bayern sind am Sonntag insgesamt 14 Millionen Menschen wahlberechtigt. Fast ein Viertel der Deutschen lebt in den beiden derzeit von der CDU beziehungsweise CSU regierten Bundesländern.
