With the victory of Raphaël Glucksmann in the center-left primaries for the French presidency, broad leftist cooperation seems further away than ever, as he previously prefers cooperation with the political center over the radical left parties. #Frankrijk #verkiezingen #linksepolitiek (translated)

Minority government – that is: Kulbergs calls on ministers, not parties. In such a case, LPV would not request ministers, but would like to see some conditions met: public administration reform, support for demographics, and a government of professionals, claims Šlesers. #Politika #Mazākumvaldība #Latvija (translated)

"Forty-one voices in the Saeima – that is something unique. 'Forty-one voices in the Saeima – that is something unique.

Montenegrin services prevented a major hybrid attack on Montenegro by the Russians, as they are all colonels of the GRU (Russian military intelligence service, ed. note), so it seems that all the colonels are there. Pro-Russian politician from Montenegro, leader and representative of the Democratic People's Party (DNP) Milan Knežević, who congratulated Putin on his 74th birthday a few days ago and wished him to live for a hundred years, said he would welcome any action against hybrid activities, if proven. #CrnaGora #Putin #dezinformacije (translated)

The government itself fuels that suspicion: BJP minister Amit Shah (Home Affairs) said in December that the cleanup operation is intended to prevent “infiltrators” from choosing India’s prime minister, a term that is often used by the Hindu nationalist party to refer to Muslim immigrants. #India #Protesten #Kiesregister (translated)

US politicians from the Republican and Democratic parties have condemned President Trump's statements in which he announced that Ukraine needs a new president, following Ukrainian President Zelensky's criticism of Trump's decision to allow the import of diesel fuel from Russia. #Tramps #Zelenskis #Ukraina (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)

This project will be submitted for consideration using a special procedure and will be adopted by a large majority.

Roy, who described himself as a politically right-leaning former member of the VVD, wrote that he no longer knew who to vote for. He excluded a populist party on the right and even mentioned considering PRO, although that didn't make economic sense and wasn't logical for him personally. According to him, the party members were at least honest and human. Roy wrote that he had previously found Jesse Klaver weak and unconvincing, but that he now made a different impression: Klaver was, in his opinion, substantively strong and seemed to be developing leadership qualities. Roy also stated that Mark Rutte had called for people to look out for one another upon his departure, while the VVD under Dilan Yesilgöz did the opposite according to him. Yesilgöz, according to Roy, had ruined much for her party, although he found her good on Defense and previously on Justice and Security. According to Roy, PRO was precisely a party that paid attention to others. As an example, he mentioned the Self-Podcast by Sander Schimmelpenninck and Jaap Reesema featuring Lisa Westerveld. He claimed Westerveld dedicated herself day and night to underprivileged Dutch citizens. In the podcast, he also heard how demotivating work in the House of Representatives could be: requested debates from Westerveld sometimes did not make it to the agenda, while the right-wing majority preferred to debate asylum again. When a topic made the news, politicians were, in his opinion, always at the front. Roy wrote that the world would be a better place with more people like Westerveld. #politiek #VVD #Nederland (translated)

US President Donald Trump, by agreeing with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on diesel fuel supplies, hopes to improve the chances of the Republican Party in the upcoming midterm elections, despite the possibility that the agreement may not result in significant price reductions and could contradict Trump's previous positions regarding Russia. #Tramps #Krievija #dīzeļdegviela (translated)
