Nederland wil Amerikaanse wetenschappers lokken, en Anna weet wel hoe
Amerikaanse wetenschappers die klimaatveranderingen en besmettelijke infectieziekten onderzoeken, krijgen van de regering-Trump geen financiering meer. Het kabinet wil de besten van hen naar Nederland...

It’s become clear that Georgian police used chemical weapons against their own citizens. Protesting is a core democratic right, this is unacceptable.
We should sanction Georgian Dream’s leadership, fund independent media, and support the democratic voices.

The ruling party Georgian Dream is turning Georgia into a Russian nightmare.
For months, citizens have protested in the cold and rain to demand a European future. Their determination clearly scares PM Kobakhidze, who now pushes harsher fines and longer prison sentences for peaceful protesters.

New reporting shows foreign trolls tried to influence the Dutch elections, boosting FvD figures.
This is just one example. I’m increasingly convinced we’re only seeing a fraction of the foreign interference damaging our democracies.

Exporting problems isn’t leadership. Humanity is. We should:
👉 Fix our asylum procedures in Europe
👉 Speed up fair and voluntary returns within Europe
👉 Create safe, legal pathways so people don’t risk their lives

Europe took decades to unite after the WWII - a democratic achievement still in progress.
There is only one way to avoid Ukraine’s defeat and a split Europe: Russia must be stopped in Ukraine, peace must be fair, and Europe must finally speak with one voice.
