In every village, in every neighborhood, there are monuments, sometimes in a pitiful state, that need some revitalization. They are precious witnesses of our past," emphasizes Ben Weyts, notably citing the statue of the priest-worker Adolf Daens in Alost, which has been recently restored. Our buildings and landscapes tell the stories of those who came before us. Some are buried in oblivion, others are part of the collective memory. By telling them, we bring the stories of yesterday and today to life. We want to keep the history of Flanders alive and continue, all together, to write it. The preservation of Flemish artistic heritage is the responsibility of all. Regional authorities cannot bear this responsibility alone. #Flandre #Patrimoine #Culture (translated)

Matthieu Valet stated that a police commander had been violently assaulted in Belfort by a group of criminals and had narrowly escaped death. He added that the public prosecutor's office had opened an investigation for attempted murder on the police officer. He criticized the account X "Alertes Infos" and lawyer Seydi Ba for implying that the police officer had intended to drown a young man, who himself was accused of violence against police officers and of attempting to set the forest on fire. Valet stated that the prosecutor had firmly denied this accusation and considered its dissemination to be irresponsible and endangering the police officers. He indicated that he had reminded these points during a debate on BFM TV. #Justice #Sécurité #Médias (translated)

Eleonora Aloise told the story of the tennis player Yunchaokete Bu, born in 2002 in Xinjiang, in the Mongolian community of Bortala. According to the author, his original name was Buyunchaokete, written all together, because surnames were not used in the community. Aloise added that the ATP would have derived a surname by separating the name and that he was called Bu or Bert. In her story, Bu's father died before his birth, and after his mother remarried and moved away, the child was entrusted to his paternal grandparents. Pastors who did not know Mandarin and lived with limited means, the grandparents sent him to the SOS Children’s Village in Urumqi so that he could study. Aloise wrote that when Bu was five years old, the youth tennis coach Luo Yong arrived at the center to engage the kids in physical activities. In the post, she attributed the discovery of the boy's talent to Lu Yang: according to Aloise's words, Bu was neither the fastest nor the strongest, but the one who worked hardest. The coach then proposed that he transfer to his sports center in Huzhou, 3,000 kilometers from Bortala, and Bu agreed. Aloise described the journey as a series of coincidences and detours, evoking the legendary names of the region and comparing the opportunity Bu received to a letter from Hogwarts. She concluded by suggesting that his more suitable name could be Jangar, the protagonist of the local epic. #tennis #tennis #storia #sport (translated)

"La question de l'impact d'un film est très importante. Avec No Other Land (leur film précédent sur la situation en Cisjordanie coréalisé avec les Palestiniens Basel Adra et Hamdan Ballal, NdlR), nous avons atteint les oscars (décrochant celui du meilleur documentaire en 2025). Quelle plus grande récompense peut-on espérer pour un film ? Et pourtant, cette semaine, deux villages palestiniens ont encore été détruits… Nous sommes peut-être un maillon dans une chaîne. C'est très lent, mais je sens qu'ils suent un peu plus à chaque fois que quelqu'un écrit à ce sujet…"Naza entend "exposer le système de massacre de masse", nous affirmait Rachel Szor à Venise. #Naza #Genocide #MostraDeVenise
