Here's a look at some of the top political stories making headlines around the world.
Italy Focuses on Elections and Migrant Issues
Italy's Minister of the Interior, Piantedosi, has announced plans to align referendum questions with upcoming municipal elections in the spring. This move aims to streamline the electoral process and increase voter turnout. Furthermore, the Minister is considering a unified date for regional referendums in the autumn. 
In addition to election planning, Piantedosi is addressing migration issues by introducing five additional CPR (Centri di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio) centers. These centers are designed to manage the repatriation of migrants.
"We are committed to ensuring a fair and efficient electoral process while also addressing the challenges posed by migration," stated Minister Piantedosi in a recent interview.
Drug Deportation Under Review in Frankfurt
In Frankfurt, Germany, police recently conducted a raid in the city's train station district, targeting a Jamaican group suspected of large-scale drug trafficking. Following the raid, the Ministry of the Interior is now evaluating the legal options available, including the potential deportation of the suspects. This action underscores the German government's commitment to combating drug-related crime. 
The outcome of this case could set a precedent for future law enforcement actions against foreign nationals involved in criminal activities.
Expulsion Case Highlights Franco-Algerian Tensions
An Algerian influencer residing in France, known as "Doualemn," faces potential expulsion from the country. This follows a legal battle and is based on accusations that he criticized an Algerian opponent on TikTok. The case has garnered attention due to its potential implications for diplomatic relations between France and Algeria. 
Previously, deportation orders against Doualemn had been overturned by the administrative court, adding complexity to the situation.
MSNBC Ratings Plunge After Trump's Success
Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC program has experienced a significant drop in viewership following President Trump's success, according to recent reports. The program, which averaged 1.6 million viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day, saw a 35% decline in ratings afterward. This decline suggests a shift in audience preferences or viewing habits following the election results.
Slovak Police Get a Makeover
Finally, in Slovakia, police vehicles are undergoing a redesign for the second time in two years. The previous yellow-blue color scheme was deemed too similar to that of the Czech Police, and the Slovak Ministry of the Interior does not own the rights to the design. The design rights belong to the Czech Republic. 
This change ensures that Slovak police vehicles are visually distinct and compliant with intellectual property regulations.
