🇷🇸 Students continue celebrating their election victory over autocrat Vucic past midnight.
They have school tomorrow.

This is Novi Sad, the site of the horrific awning collapse that killed 16 people, sparking the massive student-led protests that led to Vučić's demise two years later.
Seeing the entire place bounce like this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

For years I’d wondered if, when, and how Vučić and his regime could be defeated. I never ever could have guessed it would be like this. Amazing. A lesson for all of us opposed to authoritarian rule in Europe.

An overlooked positive side effect of the Serbian parliamentary election today is that Ivica Dačić, the former spokesman of Slobodan Milošević’s Socialist Party of Serbia, appears to have been voted out of parliament, along with his party. One of the darkest figures in Serbian history is thus leaving the stage, hopefully for good.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Carmen Española and Γιώργος Έλληνας, born in 1980 and 1975 but both look 30 🤝 They are dating but live with their parents, but Giorgos' parents have another apartment under theirs that they will give him when he gets married. He probably buys crypto and thinks AI is the future.
Identity card designs across the European Economic Area.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Portuguese ID card shown in the post is the old version. The current Portuguese Citizen Card is similar in format to other European identity cards.

It’s exhausting whenever an Irish news story goes international. Those commenting - even from nextdoor - are almost invariably clueless as to the context and detail of whatever they spout on about. With bigger countries at least there tends to be some awareness.
Oh, let's come up with something that will be guaranteed to become grist to the mill for the far-right and assorted cranks. Why hand them propaganda opportunities on a silver platter like this?
Can I have a 1+1 XXL pizza scam deal, please?
Investigators suspect that Pizza Fan systematically recorded 1 in every 4 pizzas paid for in cash as a “complimentary” item, concealing 25% of VAT from the tax authorities. Evidence uncovered suggests the scheme began in 2016.
A total of 125 people are expected to face prosecution over an alleged tax fraud scheme at Greek pizza delivery chain Pizza Fan, in which investigators estimate that €25 million in value-added tax (VAT) went unpaid.

Greece has its own #Pizzagate scandal. As Greek families will now struggle to put cheap 1+1 pizzas on their kids' birthday party tables, the closure of Pizza Fan outlets nationwide could prove problematic for the government in the run-up to the election!
The number of people arrested in an investigation into alleged tax evasion at Greek takeaway chain Pizza Fan has risen to 22, with police seizing more than €1.2 million in cash and uncovering evidence of software allegedly used to conceal sales.

Remember the settler who ran over a Palestinian by the side of the road? Kind of hard to forget. He was never charged with a crime and had now been arrested for his involvement in the brutal attack on Washing Post photojournalist Heidi Levine.
זוכרים את החייל הזה שדרס פלסטיני שהתפלל בצד הדרך? אז נודע לנו שלא רק שהוא שוחרר אחרי המעשה הזה בידי המשטרה הצבאית המהוללת, גם אחרי שירה סתם בכפר פלסטיני, אלא שגם לא הוגש כתב אישום והפלא ופלא, הוא גם נעצר אתמול יחד עם 10 חשודים נוספים בחשד למעורבות בתקיפות האחרונות (צלמת הוושינגטון פוסט והדיפלומטים הזרים) זה מה שקורה כשצה״ל לא מטפל בכלום: זה רק גדל! חייל מילואים שלהם דורס בכוונה פלסטיני מתפלל, יורה סתם בכפר, ואחרי זה לפי החשד גם נמצא במאחז ותוקף זרים.
In Greece, limited cemetery space means bodies are exhumed three to five years after burial, but Covid safety protocols dictating that victims be buried in airtight plastic bags has prevented decomposition, creating a headache for municipalities and more grief for relatives.
The effects of Greece’s Covid-19 restrictions are still being felt in cemeteries across the country, where plastic burial bags used for pandemic victims have hindered the natural decomposition of bodies, complicating exhumations.

US far-right says scenes of violence in France are the result of immigration, not cuts in education. I wonder where these vandals causing havoc at the Capitol came from?

OMG 😭😂 Grok has somehow translated Irish as Welsh and turned the horrific murder of the English family in Waterford into a “racially motivated attack on an English family”!! ENGLISH WAS THEIR SURNAME! They were murdered in an arson attack. I’m laughing at the sheer absurdity of this translation, but Jesus, this is how dangerous misinformation spreads. Absolutely shocking.
