Het is een oude politieke truc om vrees aan te jagen, om dan te beloven redder van het vaderland te worden
Paul De Grauwe is professor aan de London School of Economics. Hij geeft historische context bij de begrotingsopdracht van de federale regering.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Het is oké dat Bart De Wever de Thatcher van deze tijd wil zijn. Maar dan heeft hij geen meerderheid meer

Bart Eeckhout is hoofdcommentator van De Morgen. De Wever wil de besparingen uitvoeren die in de regering-Michel niet lukten, zo legt hij uit.

“De begrotingsplannen van De Wever? Magisch wensdenken.”

@hielkevd.bsky.social van @denktankminerva.be in @sampolmaandblad.bsky.social over 50 miljard staatsteun voor bedrijven, besparingen voor sociale zekerheid, en begrotingsbeleid gestoeld op een Excel-fout.

'Begrotingsplannen De Wever zijn magisch wensdenken'
Ondernemers en bedrijven in de watten leggen met lagere lasten om groei te krijgen? Nog nooit heeft dit beleid gezorgd voor de beoogde inkomsten.

Israel is clearly now a terrorist state. This is almost three Charlie Hebdos, for which the West wept bitter tears. Where are the tears now?

Greetings from Gaza 💋

(by Banksy)
Digital artwork by Banksy based on a historic Holocaust photograph. A group of prisoners stand behind barbed wire wearing striped camp uniforms. Their faces are pale, their heads shaved, and each has been digitally altered with bright pink lipstick, creating a stark and unsettling contrast between the brutality of the scene and the cosmetic detail. The piece highlights themes of memory, commodification, and the tension between tragedy and modern culture.
