Het prestigieuze project Waterkracht moet rioolwater recupereren als koelwater voor de industrie in de Antwerpse haven. En N-VA doet er alles aan om het beursgenoteerde bedrijf Ekopak binnen te loodsen in dat miljoenenproject. Dat tonen documenten die Apache in handen heeft.

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.
