Ann Van Haute wrote that she was fed up with the constant criticism of young people, who she claimed were labeled as lazy and undisciplined, spending too much time on their phones and social media. She pointed out that measures had been put in place in response, such as restrictions on phone use and social media, penalties for school absenteeism, and the compulsory service that Theo Francken had proposed the day before to instill "discipline and order" in young people. Van Haute argued that adults had raised young people, structured education, and provided them with their phones and online environments. If the results were disappointing, young people were blamed according to her. She believed that adults needed to examine their own roles and sharply stated that people who urinated in public flowerpots while drunk were perhaps not the best to lecture others on discipline. #jeugd #onderwijs #sociaalemedia (translated)

Rob Jetten wrote that it was three years ago that according to him nearly 1200 innocent people were killed in a terrorist attack by Hamas and more than 250 others were taken hostage. He stated that the victims were Israelis who were ambushed by violence at a festival, at home, or on the street. According to Jetten, the attack led to a spiral of conflict and suffering in the region. He wrote that the Israeli army had since killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians and that the consequences of the violence were still felt. Jetten said that no objective justified the violence or alleviated the suffering and wished peace to grieving Israeli and Palestinian families. #Vrede #OnschuldigeSlachtoffers #Conflicten (translated)

"Of course, we may disagree, but we must not forget that we still have to live together tomorrow with those who do not agree with us today."

"There is a fundamental difference for us between a transition period and a permanent restriction. Ukraine is prepared for the former. The latter would go against the whole logic of full membership in the European Union." Ukraine "cannot agree" to an EU membership that permanently restricts the sale of certain food products, said Ukrainian Minister of Agriculture Taras Vysotskyi on Tuesday to Politico. #EUuitbreiding #Oekraïne #EuropeseWaarden (translated)

Symphony wrote that he was 63 on paper, but depending on the situation, sometimes felt 37, 25, or even 104. He also claimed that he could suddenly take on the age of 14 again out of anger. According to Symphony, someone carries all previous versions of themselves: from the amazed child and the love-struck boy to the older person who knew how precious time was. A song from the 80s could bring that person back to the summer when they were 17, with friends in a field and the feeling that the future was still endlessly far away. Symphony wrote that the boy had never completely disappeared and that getting older might mean carrying more and more lives with you. An old song could make that person feel 17 again, if only for three minutes — but now with the realization of how special that time was. #ouderworden #herinneringen #tijd (translated)

Kamp wished those involved success with the implementation and administration. #box3 #beleggen #inflatie #financiën (translated)
