In France, the government's security approach has been heavily criticized after chaos, while the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nunez, acknowledges that there was a loss of control in some cities and that measures are being strengthened, while some mayors are imposing a curfew. #France #Sécurité #Manifestations (translated)

Nausicaa Marbe wrote that Macron wanted to compensate the middle class, allow prefects and mayors to ban demonstrations if necessary, wanted to reject violence from political parties, and wanted to engage in dialogue with schoolchildren and students. She questioned his expectation that the judiciary would know what the French expected. Marbe also used a derogatory term for left-Islamist opponents and wrote that they were gloating. #Macron #Frankrijk #Politiek (translated)

Eppo Tjuchem wrote that a stadium ban from Mayor Schouten, according to him with Mayor Halsema in the background, did not prevent Ofir and Joram from traveling to Alkmaar. He stated that they played music at the deportation monument there, without riots or misbehavior, thus making a dignified and powerful statement. Tjuchem argued that mayors yielded to pro-Palestinian demonstrators and Israelis refused to maintain peace. According to him, Ofir and Joram had shown what having backbone really meant. #stadionverbod #demonstratie #kunst (translated)

Remco Yizhak Cooremans referred to the mayors of Amsterdam and Alkmaar as an example of female leadership. According to him, they had said that the authorities should protect visitors in the Netherlands, just as Dutch fans in Beer Sheva should be protected, and that security risks were not an excuse for that. https://t.co/IrcxmuwDGy #vrouwelijkleiderschap #veiligheid #Nederland (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that cities like Ghent and Mechelen, according to him, had been making excessive expenditures and accumulating debts for years, while funds from the municipal fund continued to come in from Flemish taxpayers. Now that the resources from that fund would rise slightly slower, the mayors of those cities and the VVSG had reacted strongly, according to him. He stated that they threatened to pass on the costs to residents and described reducing government spending as difficult in Flanders. #Gemeente #België #Overheid (translated)

EWagensveld stated that he was arrested on suspicion of illegal protesting in the empty Janskerkhof in Utrecht during an interview with PowNed. He said that he was only giving an interview and claimed that the Public Prosecution Service counted the interviewer and cameraman to make it a group protest. According to EWagensveld, the Public Prosecution Service demanded a fine of €250 and two weeks of conditional imprisonment, but the judge acquitted him. He wondered if there were double standards in the Netherlands, as police, mayors, and the Public Prosecution Service, according to him, often did not intervene in XR and pro-Palestinian demonstrations. He also criticized the Ministry of Justice and Security, which he claimed remained silent about abuse of power. #demonstratierecht #vrijheidvanmeningsuiting #justitie (translated)

DenkjeWell argued that mayors could prohibit, relocate, or dismantle demonstrations at any time based on public order. According to them, Femke Halsema and other mayors should have done that on October 7, and they would have done so if there had been an extreme right banner with the slogan "Waait Laaifs Mekker." DenkjeWell also wrote that the House of Representatives would never pass a law listing all reprehensible expressions, and that Halsema knew that. #demonstraties #openbareorde #politiek (translated)

"It is about your own family, your own people. You are the first king to dare to present yourself in such a vulnerable way." It is rightly noted by former MP Kathleen Ferrier on Friday during the presentation of the results that a prime minister or mayors (or a corporate top) asking for research into a loaded part of history do so as "successors of random predecessors." #kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #geschiedenis (translated)

A day of the Dutch rule of law in decline: Israeli supporters are not allowed to attend the football match in Alkmaar #AZ, according to the local triangle. Hamas demonstrators are allowed to protest against Israel on October 7 in Zwolle. Can the legal authority do nothing about it? @mayors @Het_OM #Nederland #rechtstaat #voetbal (translated)

Dit is de elite van Nederland. De @D66’ers die overal hun vriendjes parachuteren in de instituties. De rechters, de burgemeesters, de consultants, de reclamebobo’s. Die hun handen blauw klappen als er wordt opgeroepen tot geweld. En daarna zelfvoldaan de dansvloer opgaan. https://t.co/vDBJvpcsND #Nederland #Politiek #Elite

Hier ga je weer niet dolgelukkig van worden.... Bart De Wever heeft aan de Brusselse burgemeesters laten weten hoeveel illegalen hij per jaar kan terugsturen, en ik met mijn slecht karakter heb even berekend hoelang dat dan gaat duren vooraleer het zootje is opgekuist..... Het antwoord in de video.... DELEN: Iedereen moet weten dat die vent de stenen uit de grond gelogen heeft. VOLG deze pagina, hier krijg je cijfers die je anders nooit zou weten.... #België #kwaliteitvangover #illegaliteit

Antisemitisme binnen de partij Die Linke vormt een potentiële belemmering voor Elif Eralp's kandidatuur voor het burgemeesterschap van Berlijn, aangezien de Groenen en de SPD alleen willen samenwerken als er adequaat wordt opgetreden tegen de haat jegens Israël binnen de partij. #antisemitisme #DieLinke #Berlijn

De burgemeesters van Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag en Utrecht luiden de alarmbel over de dramatische toename van dakloosheid en vragen de overheid om financiële steun en innovatieve oplossingen, waaronder een pilot met dexamfetamine om verslaafde daklozen te helpen. #Dakloosheid #Opvang #Verslaving

De burgemeesters van de vier grote steden in Nederland pleiten in een brandbrief aan het kabinet voor een pilot om crackverslaafden van een alternatief middel te voorzien, te midden van een dramatische toename van dakloosheid en gerelateerde problemen in de steden. #Dakloosheid #Verslaving #GroeiendeZorgbehoefte

Intimidatie, het ontwrichten van de openbare ruimte en het ondermijnen van onze democratische rechtsorde: daar moeten we paal en perk aan stellen. Daarom diende ik gisteren met @ShannaSchilder de Wet Weerbare Waarden in. Zodat burgemeesters eerder kunnen ingrijpen wanneer manifestaties onze democratische rechtsorde ondermijnen. #democratie #wetgeving #veiligheid
