You can guess what someone is capable of at the latest when some non-existent skills come to light.

(Martin Gerhard Reisenberg (*1949), qualified librarian and author)

Dear readers!

In terms of its basic idea, P3 is not a political magazine. However, the developments of the last months and years, the resulting tendencies that are visible to everyone who is not completely blind, and the politicians all over the world who often act between desperate, amateurish and completely incompetent, are increasingly forcing us to deal with global and therefore also political issues: Massive shifts to the right, corruption, local patriotism just for the sake of staying in power, provincial thinking (in the hope that problems would also be reduced as a result) and an increasing orientation towards uneducated classes - the latter are easy to influence and make up an ever larger part of the electorate - inevitably lead to an escalation of existing problems that those responsible have long since ceased to understand, let alone see through. To put it plainly: Those who can no longer find their way around in an increasingly digital and networked world should not be given the responsibility to shape it. That may sound like harsh words, but the excesses mentioned above result not least from exuberant demands. Party membership and spin doctors are no longer a quality criterion in this world. Isolation and a xenophobic ideal-world game on a small area lead directly to a loss of trust. This affects investors, purchasing power, know-how and technology - and ultimately leads to an existential threat to the environment and economy through the destruction of jobs and the withdrawal of financial resources.

Have a great read & stay safe!
