Alex Vanopslagh wrote that he was happy to see Rasmus, a 20-year-old from Holstebro, who according to Vanopslagh had built a window-cleaning business with 17 employees, four departments, and 4,000 customers. Rasmus worked up to 70 hours a week, but Vanopslagh emphasized that he enjoyed building his own business and setting goals and determining on his own. Vanopslagh described him as hardworking and responsible and wrote that Rasmus was so invested in his employees' well-being that he paid them better than himself. He hoped that more people would start businesses and create jobs, and said that he would continue to work for less bureaucracy and lower corporate taxes in Denmark. #iværksætteri #entreprenør #arbejdspladser (translated)

Lex Hoogduin wrote that he believed change was possible, but not in the way that the cabinet and the left envisioned. He advocated for a peaceful classical-liberal revolution with a smaller government, fewer rules, bureaucracy, and civil servants. According to him, the government should free citizens and protect their property, while reducing the tax burden and maintaining a limited safety net for people who faced real setbacks. He also argued for space for a revival of an independent civil society outside of the state, with communities in various fields. #liberalisme #overheid #belasting (translated)

French Milei supporters published a translation of a tweet from Javier Milei, in which the Argentine president accused socialism of claiming causes such as disability, retirees, or public universities to justify, in his opinion, uncontrolled and untransparent spending and bureaucratic structures. Milei claimed that audit requests were often presented as an attack against the concerned individuals, and that opening accounts revealed intermediaries, advocacy organizations, and taxpayer-funded privileges. He argued that this mechanism had been observed in Argentina and other countries, to the detriment of people who truly needed help and Argentine taxpayers. He demanded the publication of all accounts and contracts as well as accountability from each responsible party. #Liberté #Transparence #Responsabilité (translated)

"I grew up with a strong sense of injustice all around me," she said in December 2003 in an interview with the Volkskrant in Tanzania, her then-base as president of the Rwandan tribunal. "As a child of 4, I was told that I could not go to the beach to swim. I felt my parents' fear, saw how they were treated by the whites. I noticed that at school we received old books and desks, the cast-offs from the white schools." #NaviPillay #Mensenrechten #Apartheid (translated)

Mariba criticized Dilan Yeşilgöz after she claimed that Russia had been declared an enemy of the Netherlands. According to Mariba, Yeşilgöz stated that the Netherlands was not at war, but that a carefree peace was also not in sight. Mariba wrote that the Russian consulate had asked the Dutch government to confirm or distance itself from the statements. She believed it should be made clear whether this was about official policy, a political warning, or political rhetoric. According to Mariba, designating an enemy was not a strategy and threatening language could escalate tensions. She argued that the consequences of such statements ultimately affected civilians and urged the government to explain what the policy and risks were and how it intended to ensure security. She criticized the VVD and argued that politicians should think first before declaring an entire country an enemy. #Nederland #politiek #veiligheid (translated)

Guillaume Herblot criticized the Minister of Education, Édouard Geffray, for leaving classes without a teacher for weeks while, according to him, 3,000 substitute teachers were available but not assigned to students. He stated that these teachers, already trained and paid, had only been mobilized after protests and blockades. Herblot also criticized the management of assignments and the use of software that Geffray supposedly requested a year earlier. He mentioned that the minister had referred to 114 high schools classified in red and 400 in orange, as well as reinforcements "in the coming hours and days." The author contrasted this announcement with the elimination of positions and the departure of contract workers that he had denounced, and described the officials as amateurs. #Éducation #PénurieDeProfesseurs #GestionDeCrise (translated)

Alexandre Jardin stated that the vote on the repeal of ZFEs in the National Assembly was blocked by procedural maneuvers that he attributed to the obstruction of LFI, ecologists, and Renaissance, with the deliberate cooperation of the government. According to him, the repeal would have been adopted since it was opposed by "8 out of 10 French people." He considered that this episode constituted a serious crisis of the democratic system and accused the French and European "green-authoritarian" bureaucracy of having the final word. Jardin explained that this situation led him to create RefCitoyen and called for the establishment of direct democracy. He added that democrats would take action at the end of the following week. #Démocratie #République #ZFE (translated)
