Mikkel Andersson wrote that in the early 2010s he met a group of young university students in a pub in Lublin in eastern Poland. He described them as left-leaning, inclusive, and critical of the national conservative party Law and Justice (PiS), but stated that they did not reject non-Western immigration to Poland. According to Andersson, they then referred to Sweden's experiences with immigration. He wrote that the meeting came to his mind after Hungary's and Poland's leaders, who according to him had succeeded markedly more right-leaning predecessors, had linked the riots in France to immigration. Andersson described that connection as correct. #Polen #Indvandring #Venstreorienteret (translated)

The Union has miscalculated in two ways. They believed that without them, no government could be formed, as the left forces are too irrelevant and the AfD too incompetent. But with this, they could push their own agenda, which is why it was tolerated, in contrast to the Left and the Greens. (translated)

Susanne wrote that NU.nl proposed Laura Faber as an ordinary citizen in an article about people taking in status holders, without mentioning her work in the reception and integration of newcomers, according to her. Susanne called Faber the director of Bureau de Werkvloer, a teacher at PONT | Zorg & Sociaal, project leader for the Development of Municipal Reception at the municipality of Hengelo, and founder of the integration school and language school Iedereen aan Boord in Deventer. According to Susanne, Faber's income came 100% from projects and assignments that were directly related to refugee reception and the integration of newcomers and status holders. Susanne called the portrayal misleading and wrote that she had submitted a community note. According to her, it was ready for review and would only become visible to everyone after enough reviews. She thanked Hilda Spruit for her response under the article and provided two sources. https://t.co/htqtVhSm1c https://t.co/4GI1TXQwZR #journalistiek #vluchtelingen #integratie (translated)

Michel Maus stated that the road vignette was indeed a new tax, despite the message that, according to him, was on a N-VA debate note and which Minister Annick De Ridder had repeated. He wrote that the combination of the vignette and the reformed traffic tax would increase car taxation for many Flemish people. According to Maus, electric vehicles before 2026, for which no traffic tax is currently paid, would receive an additional charge with the road vignette. He also pointed out that the reformed traffic tax would take the weight of vehicles into account. Electric cars weigh on average 300 to 500 kilograms more than their fossil counterparts, meaning that the higher tax would not only affect Bentley and Cadillac drivers, as De Ridder had claimed according to Maus. Maus wrote that generating more revenue from car taxation was a political choice and called for that choice to be recognized. He argued that it was not credible to continue insisting that the measure had no tax consequences for the Flemish. In conclusion, he used a coarse insult to emphasize that people were not stupid even in the parking lot. https://t.co/J7ihP4SZj4 #Wegenvignet #Belastingen #Autofiscaliteit (translated)

Joost Jansen wrote that he had Chat prepare a speech for Rob Jetten in response to serious riots in Amsterdam. The proposed text stated that violence against society was unacceptable, while demonstrating and expressing criticism were part of democracy. The speech proposed three measures: maintaining the rule of law, supporting victims and affected entrepreneurs, and investigating the causes of social tensions. The text also stated that researching those causes was no excuse for violence. The recovery of trust, according to the speech, would depend on consistent action and rules that applied to everyone. #Amsterdam #democratie #veiligheid (translated)

Wolf Reuter wrote that the SPD had buckled in Berlin and was forming a new party, which he referred to as the "Socialist Unity Party." He claimed that the plans included expropriations and also obligated private landlords to rent to socially weak people. The coalition at the federal level was thus finished, he wrote, and labeled the SPD as the gravedigger of the Berlin Republic. Furthermore, he pointed to headlines that stood side by side and urged to keep them in memory. #SPD #Sozialismus #Berlin (translated)

Free Ukraine wrote that Ukrainian drone operations had led to the closure of Moscow's airports during the week, with only brief periods when flights could land and take off. On the night of Saturday, Moscow's airspace had once again been cleared after a drone alarm, and five flights carrying Russian tourists returning from Turkish Antalya had been forced to turn around in the air. According to Free Ukraine, passengers received very little information and had to wait at the airport to board. They could then be left on the planes all night if a new alarm sounded. The author compared the situation to how civilians in Ukraine waited in shelters during the nights and wrote that Russia would have to feel the consequences of the invasion. Free Ukraine also wrote that Russian authorities did not urge people to seek shelter during the drone alarms, which the author interpreted as the authorities being confident that Ukraine was not targeting civilian sites. The author speculated that the greatest threat to the Russians might be their own air defense incompetence. #Ukraina #Ryssland #Drönare (translated)
