Strong statement from (probable next Dutch PM) Jetten:
“Maduro was a cruel dictator.… Many Venezuelans will be relieved …
At the same time: this is not the way. The bombing of Caracas, the capture of Maduro … directly contradicts international law. A precedent with major risks… the EU must step up”

This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.
The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

‘De weg naar digitale autonomie begint bij de moedige eerste stap’
De Amerikaanse assertiviteit, volgens sommigen zelfs haat, tegen Europa, maakt dat de roep om digitale soevereiniteit steeds luider klinkt. De greep die de Amerikaanse techbedrijven hebben op Europese bedrijven en instellingen is enorm, en onder de huidige politieke wind lijkt het slechts een kwestie van tijd dat dit als chantagemiddel wordt ingezet.
