A Democratic prosecutor is challenging her suspension by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:12:43 GMT

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A Florida state attorney whose suspension marks the second time Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has removed a top Democratic prosecutor from office because of policy differences is challenging the decision.DeSantis failed to demonstrate that Monique Worrell was incompetent or neglected her duties when he suspended her last month, the former top prosecutor for metro Orlando said in a petition seeking to reverse the order. She filed the petition on Wednesday with the Supreme Court, where DeSantis appointees make up the majority.“The order does not allege a single instance in which Ms. Worrell’s exercise of prosecutorial discretion violated Florida law,” the petition said. “To the extent the Governor disagrees with how Ms. Worrell is lawfully exercising her prosecutorial discretion, such a disagreement does not constitute a basis for suspension from elected office.”The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment to the governor’s office on Thursday.DeSantis’ office...

How heat pumps exploded Germany’s ruling coalition

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:12:43 GMT

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or so many politicians in Germany’s three-party ruling coalition are now discovering.Germany’s parliament is set to pass a new bill on Friday to reduce the country’s carbon footprint by mandating changes to the way Germans heat their homes and buildings.Months of pained negotiations over the heating bill caused public infighting within Germany’s ruling coalition and sparked an unexpectedly sharp backlash across much of the country.While the coalition has the votes it needs to pass the law without help from opposition parties, it’s likely to prove a pyrrhic victory, with the popularity of the government now near record lows.At the same time, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has sought to exploit dissatisfaction over the law, and political experts say it’s one cause for the party’s recent sharp rise in polls.For these reasons, Germany’s new heating law has come to represent a cautionary tale with implications far beyond ...
