Trump zaagt aan de stoelpoten van Europa.
De EU en migratie zouden tot ‘beschavingsuitwissing’ leiden en daarom zal de VS nationalistische partijen in Europa steunen.
Kabinet, veroordeel deze inmenging en maak Europa onafhankelijk. Kamervragen ingediend.

The pattern has been visible for years, but now it’s explicit. The USA aims to interfere in our democracy, support nationalistic parties, and undermine the EU’s unity from within.
Why?
A united Europe is the only way Europe is strong enough to resist what Trump wants.

🤯 The National Security Strategy of the USA was just published. It’s an explicit plan to weaken the EU: they want Europe to operate as a group of sovereign nations.
Their strategy even prioritizes: “Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.”

Seven new BA.3.2.2 from Germany today spotted by @JosetteSchoenma. They are genetically dispersed and are therefore clearly not a cluster. As @snpoehlm says, this is ~5% of all sequences and ~15% in North Rhine-Westphalia. Collection dates Nov 6-18.

Verduurzaming Tata Steel vergt wellicht miljoenen aan bijkomende subsidies
De Nederlandse staat stopt veel geld in de verduurzaming van Tata Steel. Maar daar komt mogelijk nog meer bij, aan subsidies voor andere noodzakelijke investeringen, zoals een ondergronds opslagproject voor CO2 in de Noordzee.

It’s become clear that Georgian police used chemical weapons against their own citizens. Protesting is a core democratic right, this is unacceptable.
We should sanction Georgian Dream’s leadership, fund independent media, and support the democratic voices.

The ruling party Georgian Dream is turning Georgia into a Russian nightmare.
For months, citizens have protested in the cold and rain to demand a European future. Their determination clearly scares PM Kobakhidze, who now pushes harsher fines and longer prison sentences for peaceful protesters.
