Rik Torfs wrote that a tax on the wealthy could lead them to no longer live in Belgium or Europe. According to him, this would threaten to make people powerless serfs of very rich individuals in other continents. He asked readers to share their opinions on an article. https://t.co/5k5SaycPbh #België #belasting #ongelijkheid (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that the European stock markets were slowly but steadily declining and wondered whether the decline in small steps was merely a precursor. He warned that soon there would be no more "strong shoulders" and that people would have to go back to work themselves. #beurzen #economie #financiën (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that France was struggling with a serious teacher shortage. He said that driven young teachers were being sought who were willing to endure some violence occasionally and were not afraid of small conflicts on the schoolyard, which he believed were generally manageable. #onderwijs #lerarentekort #Frankrijk (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that young people looted shops during a student protest in Liège. According to him, one should try to understand them: they were fighting for their future and could not stand injustice. #Jongeren #Scholierenprotest #Onrecht (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that he sometimes dared to think that he was interested in culture, but felt like an outsider in the 'cultural sector' who did not belong. #cultuur #cultuursector #buitenstaander (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that people would mainly notice the planned VAT reform in the supermarket and called that a good reason to stay home. #BTW #supermarkt #hervorming (translated)
Rik Torfs suggested that, keeping the Jinnih Beels case in mind, a new law could be introduced that would significantly raise taxes, but only for Paul De Grauwe. #belasting #wetgeving #JinnihBeels (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that he knew his love for images of Mary was no longer in vogue, but that he also loved them when they were very large. https://t.co/mBF3SSC50u #Mariabeelden #Kunst #Cultuur (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that he had listened with great pleasure to Georges-Louis Bouchez in his conversation with Jinnih Beels on Doorbraak. He described the conversation as clear and intellectually coherent and stated that few people represented the voice of freedom-loving, non-statist Flemings better than Bouchez. Torfs wondered if it was time for a Francophone minister-president in Flanders. #Vlaanderen #Vrijheid #Politiek (translated)
Rik Torfs wrote that Islamic texts and chants, in his opinion, also did not belong legally in a Catholic mass. At the same time, he stated that everyone should be welcomed and remain welcome at KU Leuven, and he asked for reactions to the column. https://t.co/lE6uySRvSf #religie #katholicisme #KUleuven (translated)
The assumption that the cultural sector is convinced that generous subsidies are an inalienable right must seem strange to the many people who do not receive any subsidies but still have to pay for them. #cultuur #subsidies #maatschappij (translated)
Together we have come up with a number of brilliant tweets again. Just watch the coming days. https://t.co/9MJy39kzL5 #tweets #samenwerking #creativiteit (translated)
"Trade unions VRT call for a strike on October 12." Due to the reduced importance of television combined with an oversupply of channels, very few people will be truly affected by it. #staking #VRT #vakbonden (translated)
"Union files complaint for racism against UGent researcher Nathan Cofnas. Will he end up in a Belgian prison? It's unlikely but not impossible. It would certainly bring our country considerable international attention. And urge academics to even more self-censorship." #racisme #UGent #academisch (translated)
"Is, given our euthanasia legislation, Belgium the best country to die in?" That will only become clear after the satisfaction survey afterwards. #euthanasie #België #gezondheid (translated)
Conner Rousseau wil met spoed een nieuw decreet om een motie van wantrouwen in de provincieraad mogelijk te maken waardoor Jinnih Beels als gedeputeerde kan worden afgezet. Een nieuwe wet maken om een persoon te treffen. Brutale machtspolitiek en een gevaar voor de rechtsstaat. #politiek #rechtsstaat #democratie
"Vooruit zet Jinnih Beels uit de partij wegens deloyaal gedrag." Al te vaak wordt loyaliteit verward met slaafse volgzaamheid. Middelmatige figuren worden nooit uit een partij gezet. #politiek #partij #loyaliteit
“Vlaams bouwmeester Sophie Claessens: ‘Verdichting is onvermijdelijk’.” Leven als haringen in een ton. En dat vooruitgang noemen. #VlaamseBouwmeester #Verdichting #StedelijkeOntwikkeling
Als mensen zeggen 'ik verdraag geen onrecht' bedoelen ze doorgaans dat ze geen tegenspraak dulden. En dat ze, als het moet, geweld zullen gebruiken. #onrecht #geweld #tegenspraak
Bijzonder. Bij ons wordt de kerk gereduceerd tot seksueel misbruik en definitief dood verklaard. Ze maakte plaats voor experts en therapeuten. Terwijl ondertussen al een andere tijd is begonnen. Misschien omdat een leeg bestaan en verkrampte zelfliefde geen verlossing brengen. #seksueelmisbruik #zelfliefde #maatschappij
