Beste professor, links-rechts is dood in Vlaanderen
In dit stuk beargumenteer ik waarom Open VLD nog wél wat te leren heeft van D66, anders dan wat Marc Swyngedouw, professor KUL stelt in @demorgen.be

Mijn 5-jarig nichtje heeft ook begrepen dat meer bouwen en niet een huurplafond de oplossing is. Nu lokale politici die hun kiesvee niet willen verliezen aan het ongemak van bouwprojecten nog en dan komt het goed jongens.

Mooi interview met Jacinda Arden in The Guardian. “I think the rehumanisation of people in public life is really important.” Ik schreef eerder deze week in mijn Substack over hoe belangrijk empathie is in de politiek. Het is healing om diezelfde gedachtegang van zo’n grote mevrouw te lezen.

Attended a very well organised and interesting media panel at Milltown yesterday. In the panel: Politico, FT, Euractiv.
If there is one thing we’re all tired of in Brussels its the sort of panels where the guests nod in agreement. This wasn’t one of them.
(Sorry for a shitty picture).

More than half of voting bureaus yet to be counted, but Rama is leading so far and is set to secure his fourth term. However, this time around, he might have difficulties forming a broad majority in parliament. #Albania #Elections

The nepotism in Brussels' politics. Rudi Vervoort settles for 3rd place on the regional list but as a compensation he gets to give his partner and son a good spot on the communal list. Insanity.

1. Yay charging stations except when it costs a parking spot
2. Tax everything because communes & budgets..
3. ALL communes need to agree = good luck
4. That one time 'the conference of mayors' is somewhat a thing

I discussed my role as the president of Young VLD Brussels and shared insights about the city in an interview with OVLD. Recognizing Brussels' ongoing challenge to cater to diverse interests, I emphasized that there isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ strategy to Brussels. There’s power in compromising.
