Een minister die niet begrijpt dat 80% van beslissingen op Vlaamse bevoegdheden eigenlijk Europees en internationaal genomen worden. Dat de Vlaamse bilaterale, Europese en multilaterale diplomatie essentieel zijn om vrijheidsgraden "terug te winnen" of strategieën te ontwikkelen.

Erdogan is veel populairder in Vlaanderen dan in Turkije. 72% stemde op hem. De Europese Turken zijn een vorm van electorale doping. De enige manier om de indoctrinatie van Turken in VL te stoppen, is het onmogelijk maken om voor Erdogan te stemmen. #deafspraak

79 years ago today, Jews living in the #WarsawGhetto responded with armed resistance when the German forces began the liquidation of the Ghetto. The #WarsawGhettoUprising became a worldwide symbol of the struggle against the #Holocaust. Photos from the #IPNArchive collection.

On 19 April 1943 the Germans had been carrying out the final liquidation of the Jewish population of #Warsaw, the Ghetto Uprising broke out.
Around 460,000 people were living in the ghetto. Most of them were killed at #Treblinka death camp.
