Metal sector workers in the Region of Murcia have started an indefinite strike affecting 35,000 employees, causing traffic disruptions and moments of tension with the police in Cartagena and its surroundings, due to the unions' rejection of the salary proposal from the employers' association FREMM. #HuelgaMetal #UGT #Cartagena (translated)

Cyrus Razavi wrote that the parade, which he had spent several months organizing, had been conducted with good attendance and in a peaceful and festive atmosphere. He assessed that the day was a success and thanked both the participants and those who had worked behind the scenes. According to Razavi, the follow vehicle, which was supposed to have speakers mounted, had been sabotaged. He wrote that individuals from the far left had stolen banners and cut the wires to the sound system near the stage close to Christiansborg while the organizers were at Kongens Nytorv. Razavi stated that the sound technician had been shocked but not physically assaulted, and that he had repaired the damage before the parade arrived. Despite what he described as attempts to sabotage the event and limit the participants' right to assemble and express themselves, both the parade and the program had been carried out, he wrote. #dkpol #dkmedier #ytringsfrihed #forsamlingsfrihed #deltagerdemokrati (translated)

Hvor ville det være befriende, hvis pressen holdt op med at beskrive forholdet mellem Zelenskij og Trump som decideret dårligt i modsætning til Trumps angiveligt gode forhold til Putin. Trump har næppe noget egentligt personligt forhold til nogen af dem. Han ser derimod investeringsmuligheder i Rusland, som han ikke i samme grad ser i Ukraine. Når Trump hævder, at han har et godt forhold til Putin, skyldes det næppe, at Putin er Putin, men snarere, at Trump tilsyneladende føler sig bedre tilpas i selskab med autokrater. For Trump handler relationer først og fremmest om, hvilke muligheder de giver ham – ikke om, hvem han står over for.

Christian Marcussen wrote that a deleted TikTok video from October 2022 showed Afrah al-Jabouri visiting Iran, where she stated that she felt comfortable covering herself as much as possible. He noted that the video was posted while Iranian women were burning their hijabs in protest, and that al-Jabouri wrote in the post's text that some did not understand freedom, and that it was disrespectful to burn something related to Islam. Marcussen wrote that the video was posted a month after 22-year-old Jina Mahsa Amini was arrested by Iran's morality police for not wearing a hijab. According to him, Amini was abused in police custody, hospitalized, and died. He wrote that her death triggered the Woman, Life, Freedom protests, where women burned their hijabs in protest against mandatory covering and violence. Marcussen added that the protests were still ongoing when the video was posted, and that over 200 people had been killed and more than 5,000 arrested. He described al-Jabouri's video as mocking and expressed sympathy for Iran's theocratic regime. He called it extremely repugnant and believed it reflected a deeply radicalized mind. He also described the video as an example of what he called islamfluencing: an attempt to portray Islam and the oppression of Islamic regimes as appealing and positive. #Iran #KvindersRettigheder #Protester (translated)

Claes Theilgaard wrote that he had investigated the influencer Afrah al-Jabouri, who according to him had been mentioned after her participation in the TV 2 program "Højskolen". He claimed that in a series of videos on TikTok, where she had close to 70,000 followers, she had praised the Iranian regime and the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Theilgaard wrote that al-Jabouri had said that Iran deserved respect and had praised the country’s military and attacks against Israel. He also stated that she had mourned Khamenei’s death earlier in the year and wrote: “Can’t stop crying.” In a video she had shared, Khamenei was allegedly praised for promoting Sharia law, according to Theilgaard. According to Theilgaard, al-Jabouri had also shared videos from the Imam Ali mosque in Copenhagen. He wrote that Berlingske had several times uncovered connections between the mosque and the Iranian regime. Theilgaard also stated that al-Jabouri had declined to be interviewed because she did not want to speak with individuals she considered to be Zionists. #dkpol #dkmedier #AfrahAlJabouri #Iran #TikTok (translated)

Lars Boje Mathiesen called for critical coverage of Pelle Dragsted, after the person from whom Dragsted had shared a post allegedly admitted that the information was false, according to Mathiesen. Mathiesen wrote that many had shared it uncritically and asked why the Social Democrats, SF, and the Red-Green Alliance did not criticize Dragsted, as they had quickly done, according to him, when a blue politician made a mistake. He also asked whether Ekstra Bladet would put the case on the front page, whether Dragsted would admit his mistake, and whether the media would ask him the same critical questions they had asked blue politicians. #Mediekritik #FakeNews #Politik (translated)

Lars Andersen wrote that Soleima from the Folk High School had reported 79-year-old Pia Kjærsgaard for violence, even though none of those present, according to him, had witnessed the violence. He expressed enthusiasm for the report and wrote that such behavior could increase the desire of Danes to remigrate what he called the Soleima segment. He added that only portraying Soleima wearing a bomb vest would, in his view, be more effective. #dkpol #vold #Soleima (translated)

Morten Messerschmidt wrote that the blue bloc stood united in rejecting Henrik Frandsen as a candidate for the position of Speaker of the Folketing. After the Alternative also stated that the party would reject him, it was, according to Messerschmidt, the government majority along with the Red-Green Alliance that determined the outcome of today's meeting. He criticized the Red-Green Alliance for overlooking what had recently come to light about Frandsen and called it a sign that the party had become conformist. Messerschmidt wrote that for him, the issue concerned the institution of the Folketing and not Frandsen as a person. He believed that the position of Speaker required parliamentary experience and authority, and that the Speaker should safeguard the independence of the Folketing from the government. Messerschmidt also wrote that, in his assessment, Frandsen would not become the trusted man of the Folketing, but was primarily Lars Løkke Rasmussen's man. This strengthened his belief, according to the post, that it was the right decision to make himself available for the Presidium of the Folketing. He added that the Danish People's Party would ensure the greatest possible resistance to what he described as the government's overreach leading up to the next parliamentary election. #Folketinget #politik #Demokrati (translated)

I have got a new hero - he was stabbed by his own co-pilot, but still saved everyone on board. Smit Machchhar was the captain of a plane heading to Israel when he was attacked and stabbed by his co-pilot, who according to Israeli authorities tried to make the plane crash. The plane began to dive violently, but badly injured and bleeding, Machchhar managed to unlock the cockpit door. This allowed brave passengers and crew members to overpower the attacker and stabilize the plane. Everyone on board survived. What those people did, I have enormous respect for. In the midst of horror, they took responsibility for each other and for strangers in the rows behind them. And the captain, who himself desperately needed help, found the strength to give the others a chance. It's difficult to fully comprehend. Smit Machchhar's and the others' efforts mean that many families can now experience birthdays instead of funerals, that children can embrace their parents again, and that people who believed yesterday they would die are allowed to return to their very ordinary lives. These are the kinds of heroes we want to tell our children about in the future. Because they inspire us with hope and courage! #helte #mod #inspiration (translated)

Hvorfor stemmer islamister på den yderste venstrefløj? Det gør de, fordi den yderste venstrefløj hjælper med at fremme deres dagsordener. Et eksempel er kønsopdelt svømning, som @Enhedslisten medlem af Borgerrepræsentationen, @KlausGHenryksen, her kæmper for. I indlægget udviser han en komplet mangel på forståelse for emnet og for de dynamikker, han understøtter. »Kønsopdelt idræt er hverken nyt eller specielt muslimsk. Dansk foreningsidræt har i generationer haft pigehold, drengehold, kvindehold og herrehold.« Her ignorerer han fuldstændig det faktum, at en mand godt må være tilskuer eller dommer, når et pigehold spiller fodbold. Denne form for kønsblanding er ikke tilladt i den muslimske kønsopdeling i svømmehallen. Her må far blive væk, ligesom mandlige livreddere eller rengøringspersonale er et no-go. Denne form for religiøst begrundet kønsapartheid er lige præcis ret muslimsk og væsensforskellig fra den almindelige kønsopdelte idræt, som man kender den fra det danske foreningsliv. Jeg mener ikke, at vi som stat eller kommune skal understøtte den slags kønsdiskriminerende, patriarkalsk praksis. Det mener Klaus og Enhedslisten, at vi skal. Og derfor stemmer islamister på dem. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #kønsdiskrimination #islamisme

Jeg vil gerne fortælle dig en hemmelighed. I nat, mens du sov, brugte Danmark atomkraft. Igen. Vinden lagde sig over Nordsøen, solen var gået i seng, og så gjorde vi det, vi altid gør, når ingen kigger: Vi satte vores lid til et kabel dybt nede i Øresund og lånte strøm fra de svenske atomkraftværker. Vi har gjort det i årtier, og svenskerne ved det selvfølgelig godt. De sladrer ikke til nogen, de sender bare en regning. Lidt historie: Folketinget tog atomkraft ud af dansk energiplanlægning i 1985. Det er før, jeg blev født. Vi opfandt endda logoet med den lille smilende "Atomkraft? Nej tak"-sol. Den blev tegnet i Aarhus i 1975 og er formentlig noget af det mest udbredte danske design efter legoklodsen. Vi er simpelthen verdensmestre i at sige nej tak. Vi har bare aldrig rigtig fået sagt, hvad vi gerne vil have en aften, hvor solen ikke skinner og vinden ikke blæser. For at gøre det endnu mere skørt er danske ingeniører endda blandt de dygtigste i verden til at udvikle den næste generation af små reaktorer. Vi har Copenhagen Atomics, vi har Seaborg. Men de må bare ikke bygge dem i Danmark. Prøv at forestille dig, at Lego havde fået at vide, at de kun måtte lave klodserne i Tyskland. Så hvad vil Liberal Alliance egentlig? Vi vil først og fremmest have ophævet forbuddet. Og vi vil omprioritere de 55,2 mia. kr., der er afsat til havvind, til blandt andet to atomkraftværker med små, modulære reaktorer ved Studstrup og Kalundborg, som skal levere strøm senest i 2040. Så kan vi selv producere stabil strøm med lave CO₂-udledninger, også på en vindstille aften i februar. Det synes jeg faktisk fortjener en chance, selv om nogen i Aarhus engang har tegnet et logo. Indtil da: Tak for lån, Sverige. Sig det nu ikke til nogen. #Atomkraft #Danmark #Energipolitik

AfD's parlamentariske gruppe i det tyske parlament har indgivet en straffesag mod kansler Friedrich Merz. Den strafferetlige klage går på æreskrænkende fornærmelser. Konkret går klagen på at kansler Friedrich Merz har beskyldt AfD for at "fremme remigration", som han beskrev som "intet andet end etnisk udrensning baseret på hudfarve og oprindelse". Sagen minder på den måde meget om Morten Messerschmidt vs. Martin Lidegaard - der forventes dom i den sag til oktober. #Politik #Tyskland #AfD
