  Watch for: No press release from the Federal Office of Administration regarding 'fraud' in the last 10 days. · Legal experts report on the ongoing, unpublicized processing of citizenship applications.

• Unresolved 15% Political Scrutiny and Legislative Debate

  Watch for: A specific opposition party (e.g., CDU/CSU) tables a motion in the Bundestag demanding legislative reform of the citizenship law. · A Bundestag committee is officially established to investigate the fraud allegations.

• Unresolved 15% International Diplomatic Friction (Counter-intuitive)
