Impact wrote to Cauet that the situation in Gaza constituted genocide and that repeating the contrary in Bolloré's media would not change reality, according to him. Regarding the interviews asking young people to choose between Israel and Palestine, he criticized him for not considering that answering "Palestine" could express support for the bombarded Palestinians. Impact also defended the ability of high school students to understand the situation, support the Palestinians, and reject anti-Semitism while putting forward their own demands. He finally pointed out that Cauet's arrival at Bolloré was only a few weeks ago and expressed his support for Palestine. #FreePalestine #Gaza #Solidarité (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt proposed a compulsory integration course for D66 in his column. According to him, the party spoke excellent Dutch, but still needed to learn how to deal with people who have different beliefs. He referred to Jan Paternotte, who mentioned the Renaissanceschool associated with Forum for Democracy in the Chamber and asked for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had advocated for a swift evaluation and possible legislative changes. The proposed course would, according to Von Kreyfelt, include lessons on civil rights, freedom of education, diversity, democracy, and equal rights. He wrote that citizens should be allowed to think independently and vote for other parties, and that a political background in itself was not an offense. Regarding Jetten's statements on October 9 about taking stronger action against certain schools and online channels where, in his view, young people were learning incorrect ideas about equal rights, Von Kreyfelt noted that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool. As an exam task, Von Kreyfelt described a parent who wanted to pass on different beliefs to their child than D66. According to him, a student would succeed with an answer that did not involve inspection, improvement processes, or legislative changes. He concluded that D66 needed to learn that a free society also existed without its permission. #Inburgering #Diversiteit #Democratie (translated)

"The Parliament does not demand 'more money'; we request resources that correspond to the responsibilities imposed by the EU. This requires courage and a serious decision regarding the introduction of new sources of revenue by member states, based on all proposals on the table, in accordance with the basket approach to revenue. We are ready to work with the Council for a balanced outcome. However, member states must respect the will of the citizens, expressed through this Parliament, and the current negotiation framework does not provide an adequate basis for our discussions," said Carla Tavares (S&D, Portugal). #bugetUE #ParlamentulEuropean #reducerebugetară (translated)

Els van Veen wrote that she found the increasing resistance against Purple Friday recognizable. According to her, her children had long since stopped going to school. She stated that the problem was not that everyone could be themselves, but the pressure to wear purple at school and the government interference she saw in this matter. Years ago, she claimed, nearly no one came to school in purple anymore, not even an openly gay classmate. Van Veen compared this pressure to the coronaperiod. She wrote that people were told they were getting vaccinated for others, and that those who did not do so were labeled as antisocial and excluded. She also claimed that doctors expressing concerns were publicly ridiculed and lost their jobs. Many people, according to her, are now silent about this, including those who had contributed to the exclusion of unvaccinated individuals at the time. She argued that the boundary of coercion, pressure, and propaganda had been reached for more and more people. Van Veen criticized politicians who, in her view, wanted to dictate how people behaved and did not respect the right to self-determination. She also expressed criticism of what she described as moral superiority and the spending of public money on causes that did not benefit the population. Finally, she wrote that doctors treated everyone equally in the consulting room, regardless of gender, sexuality, or vaccination status. https://t.co/5EmgfuiUho #PaarseVrijdag #Tolerantie #Vrijheid (translated)
