Zeven PVV-Kamerleden opgestapt na verzet tegen Geert Wilders
Zeven PVVKamerleden verlaten de Tweede Kamerfractie. Dat zegt PVVleider Wilders na een tumultueuze fractievergadering. Binnen de PVV zijn Kamerleden die meer democratie eisen en een evaluatie van de verkiezingsuitslag. Dat blijkt uit een brief die vanochtend is ingebracht bij de fractievergadering. De brief is in handen van de politieke redactie van RTL Nieuws nadat De Telegraaf er vanmiddag ook over berichtte.

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.
There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.
And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

The list is worth €93 billion and covers products like aircraft, cars, poultry, steel, yachts and soybeans.

What is the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) that European lawmakers want to activate in response to Trump's 10% tariff announcement?
Adopted in 2023, the instrument was designed to hit back at foreign acts of economic coercion. It was inspired by China's trade restrictions on Lithuania.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
