The author praised Nayib Bukele and wrote that he believed Bukele had a cognitive understanding of the issues and the courage and power to act on that insight. According to the author, the Netherlands and Europe needed such a leader, while politicians there fell short and let themselves be guided by others. The author called for resistance against what he described as a consensus of betrayal of oneself, to ignore criticism from opponents, and to show courage. He stated that negative reporting in the Volkskrant or criticism on blogs would not deter Bukele from doing what was necessary. He compared critics to flies and ants on a lion. He claimed that Bukele was a global exception among politicians, which he found utterly frustrating. #Politiek #Leiderschap #Filosofie (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that Sven Pichal's testimony, in his opinion, offered no insight and was neither healing nor educational. He described it as a series of lukewarm excuses from someone who, according to him, knew well how the media worked, and noted that Pichal had then stated he was not looking for excuses. Vande Reyde called it a publicity stunt for and by a circle of acquaintances. #media #excuses #getuigenis (translated)

Moke is een Nederlandse band uit Amsterdam. Ze brachten in 2007 hun debuutalbum Shorland uit. Hun muziek wordt voornamelijk onder de britpop geschaard. Zanger Felix Maginn, geboren en getogen in Belfast, speelde vóór de oprichting van Moke in de band Supersub. Zijn plannen een eigen, nieuwe band te beginnen kregen als eerste vorm door het vragen van Tröckener Kecks gitarist Phil Tilli. Hij stemde in, evenals Supersub drummer Rob Klerkx. Bassist Marcin Felis en toetsenist Eddy Steeneken (voorheen bij de band Flemming) worden toegevoegd en de line-up is compleet. Na zeven jaar, in januari 2014, verlaat gitarist Phil Tilli de band, naar eigen zeggen "wegens verschillen in inzicht over de muzikale richting". https://hvdommelen.nl/m/Moke.html

Max von Kreyfelt criticized Cora van Nieuwenhuizen's transition from the ministry to Energy-Nederland. He wrote that Van Nieuwenhuizen was appointed as chair of the industry association on August 31, 2021, and that same day she resigned as a minister. She started working for the organization on October 1. According to Von Kreyfelt, Van Nieuwenhuizen had already informed Prime Minister Mark Rutte on July 23 that she would be nominated, but she remained a minister until the end of August. He wrote that Rutte later acknowledged that government officials had access to cabinet documents and could possibly gain information about the area of their future positions. On August 26, Rutte concluded, according to Von Kreyfelt, that the appointment did not go well with the ministry. Arrangements were made to transfer files that could affect her new position to a colleague if necessary. Von Kreyfelt also reported that Energy-Nederland praised her managerial experience in the Netherlands and Europe. He stated that the transition raised questions about the closeness of public positions and private interests, but wrote that the matter in itself did not prove corruption. He advocated for independent assessment of subsequent positions, more transparency regarding contacts, and a mandatory waiting period before former government officials began working in a sector organization. According to him, public experience should not automatically grant access to private influence. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #Energie #Overheid #Transitie (translated)
