Denmark is set to impose a new tax on farmers over greenhouse gases produced by their livestock, Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus has announced. The toll on cow, pig, and sheep emissions will be implemented starting in 2030, according to the minister.

The new tax is expected to greatly contribute to the country's goal of reducing emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by the end of the decade, as well as ultimately attaining carbon neutrality, Bruus explained.

"We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045," the minister stated, praising the measure as a way for Denmark to become "the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture."

Livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent produced by their animals. However, this will initially be subject to an income tax deduction of 60%.

The measure is expected to hit dairy farmers the most, given that an average Danish cow produces around six metric tons (6.6 tons) of CO2 equivalent each year, with pigs and sheep emitting significantly less gas.

The country is a major livestock producer, with its current cattle population at nearly 1.5 million, according to Statistic Denmark. That would net more than $400 million a year in carbon taxes.

The new tax is set to rise even higher, reaching a target of 750 kroner per ton by 2035.

Dairy farming is believed to be a major contributor to human-related greenhouse gas production. According to the UN Environment Program's estimates, livestock account for some 32% of methane emissions caused by human activity.

A popular YouTuber from Cyprus has been elected as an independent MEP to the European Parliament.

Fidias Panayiotou has previously described himself as a "professional mistake maker" and some of his online hijinks include trying to hug 100 celebrities - including Elon Musk - and spending a week in a coffin.

The 24-year-old has more than 2.6 million subscribers and - despite having no political experience - garnered the third-largest number of votes with 19.4%.

"It was a shock what happened, a miracle," said Mr Panayiotou.

He told state broadcaster CyBC: "The parties should take it as a warning that they must modernise and listen to the people."

Last year Mr Panayiotou was forced to apologise after he caused outrage in Japan for a YouTube video in which he dodged train fares and a five-star hotel breakfast bill.

The clip, which racked up millions of views, saw him travel across Japan on its famed bullet train, while dodging fares by hiding in pottys and feigning illness.

But on Sunday, he celebrated his win with a gathering at Eleftheria Square in the island's capital Nicosia, where he said: "We are writing history. Not just in Cyprus, but internationally."

According to Politico, Mr Panayiotou declared in January he would run in the polls.

Appearing on Cypriot TV, Alpha Cyprus - where he wore trainers, shorts, a suit jacket and three neck ties - he admitted that he had never voted, knew little about politics and the EU, but that he could no longer stand the continued rule of "nerds" in Brussels.

When Mr Panayiotou submitted his candidacy in April, he admitted that his goal was not to get elected but to motivate young people to get involved in politics.

The Mediterranean island nation has a population of about 900,000, of whom more than 683,000 were registered to vote in the weekend's polls.

Turnout in Cyprus was at just under 59% - up from 45% in the 2019 elections, with analysts attributing the rise in part to the "Fidias factor".

According analysis of exit poll data by news site Philenews, Mr Panayiotou won 40% of the votes from the 18-24 age group and 28% of votes from the 25-34 group.

Six Cypriot MEPs were elected.

Mr Panayiotou came third behind the conservative DISY (25%) which retained its two MEPs, and the communist party AKEL (22%) which lost one of its two MEPs.

Cypriot voters also elected an MEP from the ultranationalist party ELAM (11%) and the centrist party Diko (10%).

Any idea what the plan is?

Someone on /r/stupidpol guesses that his hope is that by having them be in government they'll choke and get slaughtered at the relatively more important presidential. Also he set the date 3 weeks away so there's not much time to campaign anyway. Thoughts?

Was hast du gesagt ?

The Schengen zone expanded recently.

The EU continues to integrate further.

East Europe continues to prosper and support the aging western part of the European Union.

Their energy projects in North Africa have been a success.

They will have new member states by the end of 2030.

They remain the third largest economy in the world.

They have been able to hold off Russia in Ukraine.

They have been able to keep funding Ukraine and grow its economy even during war time.

Their population continues to grow.

They have succeeded in stopping the inflow of refugees from the middle east.

They have normalized relations with Turkey.

They have managed to divest from Russia without collapsing.

The UK left the EU and has been worse off economically for it.

Muslims make up less than 10% of the population of the EU and would remain at that number in the future.

The primary remaining challenges for the EU are:

1. Bringing Hungary fully into the fold and making it obey.

2. Breaking Belarus off from Russia.

3. Bringing Serbia back towards the EU away from China.

4. Maintaining population growth without increasing share of Muslim population in Europe.

In conclusion:

The European Union is doing good for itself. The UK will over time be forced to rejoin the EU. The EU continues to integrate further internally while expanding its borders externally.

Future of EU:

EU will expand further. One day even Turkey will be part of the EU. EU will still be there when Russia falls. EU will develop North Africa. EU will remain the second largest economy in the world in the long run by constantly adding new members. EU will shift to a three tier system in the near future, core members, non-core members, candidate members.

The humorist Jaime Caravaca, former participant of David Broncano's show 'The Resistance' has seen a spectator of his 'show' take to the stage to accuse him of paedophile comments and assault him.

The protagonist of the aggression, Alberto Pugilato'Punty', belonging to ultra-right movements and leader of the musical group Pugilato'Punty', accused the artist of making paedophile dyes comments in a Twitter post in which his son, just three months old appeared.

'Pugilato' has appeared in the midst of Caravaca's performance and, climbing straight on stage in the face of the amazement of the attendees, has punched the humorist and shouted his comments on Twitter.

Later, the aggressor apologized to the audience and has prepared to get off the stage not without first hitting Jaime Caravaca again, who was paralyzed and in disbelievered for what had just happened.

Translation of the hungarian article:

The independent candidate from Tát ran with a tattoo of Hitler and a swastika on her back

Edina Soltysiak Soltysiak is standing for local government in the Komárom-Esztergom county municipality on the list of the independent organisation Együtt Közösen Tátért.

According to the independent organisation Együtt Közösen Tátért, those who vote for them are voting for the future, but their local government candidate does not necessarily convey this message.

Although Edina Soltysiak, who was born in Esztergom, says in her introduction that she is interested in innovative developments and renewable energies, you don't have to look too far through her photos on social media to see that she has a different kind of interest.

On her social media page, we find symbols of or references to authoritarianism. The Facebook profile seems to belong to her, as the organisation's candidate for mayor, Dániel Losonczi, mentioned this page when presenting his candidates for the municipality, including Edina Soltysiak. On Facebook, she herself writes that on Instagram she goes by the name devilscat88.

Soltysiak has a lot of tattoos and doesn't hide them so much: on both forearms is the German phrase "Meine Ehre heißt Treue". This means 'My honour is loyalty' in English, and was the motto of the Nazi SS. Even in 2022, she posted a picture showing one half of her arm, but it is also true that as of January 2020, the other half was covered by a half-arm solution. This public photo shows the inscription:

She shows her back relatively rarely, although people usually don't, even though he has a portrait of Hitler on one shoulder blade and a (mirrored) swastika on the other.

The numbers 88 and 14 are printed on the waist. These numerical codes have a special meaning in the neo-Nazi world. The first one refers to the alphabetical letter 8, which stands for HH, or "Heil Hitler". The number 14 refers to an American nationalist racist writing, which in the English original is a 14-word sentence that reads: 'We must ensure the survival of our race and the future of white children'. The tattoos on Soltysiak Edina include an imperial eagle. This screenshot is from her Instagram profile, which has since been made private:

We have also contacted the candidate and her nominating organisation, Együtt Közösen Tátért. We couldn't find any other contact details for the organisation, so we asked them on Facebook if they knew about their candidate's tattoos and, if so, what they thought about it. "First of all, we would like to start by saying that we are not an association. First of all, we would like to start with the following. Our support for each other is only because of the developments and insights we have about Tát. We distance ourselves completely from exclusion and condemnation of people," they said, adding that they did not wish to comment further on the issue.

Edina Soltysiak was asked twice on Facebook about her current relationship with her tattoos. In a reply sent after our article appeared, she informed us that she was withdrawing from the election.

The Hungarian criminal law includes the swastika as a prohibited symbol of authoritarianism, although to be a criminal offence it must be committed in a manner "likely to disturb public peace".
