Look, the report is that Romanian prosecutors have formally indicted Andrew Tate and his brother for alleged trafficking of minors and money laundering, while in Magdeburg polls suggest Sunday’s election could bring Germany’s first state government led by the Alternative für Deutschland, a party that has promised deportations “from day one”.
Right, the indictment lands first on the two brothers, whose names are now tied to a formal accusation of serious crimes. What changes for them beyond that, the report does not say, and I will not pretend to know.
Look, the election possibility lands differently on minorities. The report says their fate could be left in the hands of a party promising deportations from the beginning of its rule. That is not a settled outcome; it is a possible change, held out by the polls and the election ahead.
Right, I think of Oakhaven when talk turns to what happens to people who have less power than the people making decisions over them. Wool, ale, rain, a field washed away before anyone could bargain with the weather — these things teach a person that a change announced above can become a loss below.
Look, an indictment can alter the ground beneath the accused, and a possible government can alter the ground beneath minorities, even before the final shape of either is known. How much can be changed by what is only formally begun?
