To the decision makers who still need more time to debate how to name the attrocities in Gaza. Please take 30 minutes of your time to watch this documentary about children´s cries. Then it will not last any longer to take action.

In the critical moments we are experiencing, we must take responsibility and act. I will be happy to participate to the #GlobalCitizenNOW summit next month to take action to revive a new ambitious global cooperation agenda. Get involved:

Europe faces a clear and present danger.

We must be able to defend ourselves and put Ukraine in a position of strength.

ReArmEurope will boost defence spending, strengthen our defence industrial base and push the private sector to invest ↓

It is disappointing to see how little reaction there is in the Belgian media about the 25% cut in Belgian foreign aid budget, which will have a huge negative impact. I talked to @devex.com last week about that.
More on my my interview here below:

Belgium just cut its foreign aid by 25%. Does anybody care?
The role of development minister will disappear under the new government — but Enabel's boss says that could be a good thing.

Tijdens de regeringsonderhandelingen in België zaten zeer weinig vrouwen mee aan de tafel. Pas nadat de samenstelling van de regering bekend is schiet de pers en het publiek wakker. Slechts 4 vrouwen ! Beste mensen : too little too late. Next time express your wandering in an earlier stage.

1O onderhandelaars die rond de tafel zitten om een nieuwe regering te kunnen vormen in België zijn mannen. Is dit de voorbode van het nieuwe federale diversiteitsbeleid in België ? Ons land zou beter moeten weten, beter moeten doen.

Never look away, always stand in solidarity with those fighting for justice and human rights. Their voices must be heard. #FreePalestine

Innovation is not (just) about generating or identifying creative ideas. Rather it is about finding passionate people that believe in something and want to create change" (Minkowski).

Today I visited the "Centre d'Innovation de la Région du Centre-Est" of #Burkina Faso.

Today is the international day on the elimination of violence against women. Happy to be this day in Burkina Faso and to see how colleagues successfully intervene on sexual and reproductive health and right, and also support services for victims of sexual violence.

Poets who heal and think about the world, and who dare! This is what we need in this period when many decision-makers no longer dare to be brave. Very nice evening of our Solidare Hub award ceremony last night in Brussels as part of our global citizenship program BeGlobal.be.

🕊️ We are deeply outraged by the recent demolition of the Al-Bustan public space in East Jerusalem, developed by Enabel and funded by the European Union and Belgium. This vital community hub served over 1,000 residents providing essential services and a safe gathering place for women and children.
