🔥 Must read.

Scandal made possible by the EU: people are arbitrarily abducted, sold or abandoned in the desert, because of the color of their skin.

Tens of thousands of persons are arbitrarily captured and dumped every year in remote areas to prevent them from migrating to Europe.

More than 35 journalists contributed to this investigation (Lighthouse Reports).

Des dizaines de milliers de personnes dont des enfants—jugées sur leur seule couleur de peau comme pouvant être des migrants—sont arbitrairement enlevées et abandonnées dans le désert chaque année.

Voire vendues moins de 4€.

For Dutch speakers, I highly recommend this article.
It's very detailed.

They also give the example of Timothy Hucks, an #American guy from New York whose crime is to be black. Timothy simply left his flat in Morocco to buy some booze. He got abducted by Moroccan security forces, who decided that, no, he is not American, and dumped him far in the desert with others—all black people.

To be clear: notice how these are the applications for arrest warrants against Netanyahu, Galant, and those three Hamas leaders.

"The independent judges of the International Criminal Court are the sole arbiters as to whether the necessary standard for the issuance of warrants of arrest has been met." (11m21s).

Je viens juste de tomber sur ça par hasard. L'ancienne députée écolo Isabelle Attard devenue anarchiste. Ça m'étonne tellement pas. Pendant la présidence Hollande, j'étais à un moment de ma vie où je m'investissais énormément en politique et je suivais continuellement les débats à l'assemblée. Elle était la seule députée avec laquelle j'étais toujours d'accord. À un tel point qu'à chaque fois qu'elle intervenait, je songeais : "mais qu'est-ce que tu fiches là-dedans, toi ? C'est pas du tout ta place. T'as pas l'air de t'en rendre compte, mais tu n'as rien à voir avec les autres d'EELV. Tu vas juste souffrir".

Comme d'autres, j'allais justement dire qu'elle a écrit un livre à ce sujet.

Perso, je ne l'ai pas lu, mais j'ai consulté sa bibliographie — au cas où ça me donnerait des idées de livres intéressants à lire, que je n'aurais pas déjà lu. Et, dans le tas, il y a Désobéir de Frédéric Gros, que je conseille vraiment très fortement à tout le monde.

Quite some people here in the Netherlands have come to believe that it was 'the left' that has been ruling this country for many years now.
In real life, we've had government coalitions led by @minpres Rutte's center-right VVD for the past 14 years.

@Sustainable2050
Wow, seriously? The Netherlands certainly feels more right-wing than its neighbours.

Issues such as outrageous housing prices for tiny flats, expensive healthcare, or the fact that life must be shockingly expensive for anyone without diploma—all apparently contributing to the PVV success (as if merely getting a few thousand foreigners out would magically solve all this)—rather seem to be the result of years of deliberate right-wing neoliberal policies, increasing inequalities.

"Speaker of the House of Representatives, Martin Bosma (PVV [extreme right]), intervened in a plenary parliamentary debate on Thursday. Volt MP Laurens Dassen was not allowed by him to call the PVV "extreme-right"."

"The term refers to national socialism, Bosma said: "I see it as a Nazi comparison". "I don't think we should label groups or members of the States General as extreme-right"

"It led to much criticism among MPs.

Dassen: "If we are not allowed to name this in parliament [that PVV indeed is an extreme right party], it becomes very oppressive."

He thought the term was justified: "If you as a party have been casting suspicion on judges for years, calling journalists scum and saying of groups of Dutch people that they don't belong," that term is possible, Dassen said."

Damn right.

@GastonDorren

This is so incredibly outrageous and ridiculous.

Do you know what happens if MPs categorically refuse to comply?

Is the voorzitter actually in a position to censor whatever he does not like (especially comments regarding his own extreme right party)?
Surely, there must be limits.

The NRC article really ought to but doesn't talk about that.

turbobob,
@turbobob@mamot.fr avatar

@GastonDorren I am certainly not defending the voorzitter.

If you read my message, you can see that I actually deliberately said "his own extreme right party": precisely what he tried to censor. Notice how I also wouldn't have used the word "censor" if I had been defending the PVV as you initially thought.

That said, my questions were not rhetorical ones, but genuine: would you happen to know more about this? I am not sure where to look for this info.

In my view, the MPs should not comply.

"He smelled the chance of actual power & threw his entire party programme in the trash on election day[..] only possible because the PVV has no internal party democracy. Wilders has not cared about his voters for years; he only needs them for his political survival.

Even the fact that he cannot become Prime Minister can be useful to him. Now he can continue to criticise the cabinet in the coming years, even though it was installed by himself."
