Volgens D66-leider Rob Jetten moeten we met extreemrechtse partijen blijven praten. Maar experts zeggen dat zulke gesprekken extreemrechtse standpunten juist normaliseren. De vraag is: herkennen we fascisme nog wel? www.oneworld.nl/mensenrechte...

‘remigratie’ is het logische complement van ‘omvolking’. Beide klinken onschuldig als je de ideologische achtergrond niet kent, maar zijn in wezen diep racistisch.

‘Remigratie’ duikt op in de nieuwe verkiezingsprogramma’s van PVV, FvD, BBB en JA21. Dat is geen extremisme, beweren ze, slecht ‘een oplossing’. Maar is het echt zo onschuldig? Experts waarschuwen: ‘remigratie’ is in werkelijkheid een verhullende term voor deportatie.

With offshore wind construction already at risk, attacks from groups like these threaten the possibility of meeting local climate goals. See the full article below, and the newly released report.

Deze avond is het gevolg van het jarenlang ophitsen tegen mensen die vluchten voor oorlog en geweld.

De Tweede Kamer zit vol met ophitsers. En vol met mensen die te laf zijn daartegen op te staan.
