🎉Very happy to announce my new book 'Superpower Europe' is out. A story of hope and ambition, on the growing pains of the European Union, in a world dominated by hard power and geopolitics.🙏@politybooks @ItineraTwit politybooks.com/bookdetail?b…

Nog even: de geopolitieke realiteit betekent dat overheden overal opnieuw een actieve economische rol spelen. Voor Vlaanderen betekent dat: durven te kiezen, met topambitie, binnen Europa. @tijd @ItineraTwit @MDiependaele tijd.be/opinie/algemeen/vlaa…

Dat Duitsland en Frankrijk zelfs geen gezamenlijk jachtvliegtuigproject aankunnen... Maar ondanks soms botsende nationale belangen, is Europa bezig aan een stille opmars. Vergelijk dat met een jaar geleden. 2026 kan zowaar een kantelpunt worden. trends.knack.be/opinie/het-k…

Wordt gezellig, die wereldbeker in Trumpland
Switzerland’s World Cup preparations were dealt a blow today as forward Breel Embolo was forced to stay home following a last-minute decision by U.S. authorities to review his clearance to travel. politico.eu/article/switzerl…

This is not a joke. This is real. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been nominated to chair a United Nations committee tasked with protecting women’s rights, human rights, and combating terrorism. Let that sink in. A regime that arrests, tortures, and kills women for showing their hair. A regime that treats women as second-class citizens under Sharia law. A regime that denies its people the most basic freedoms and has repeatedly opened fire on peaceful protesters in the streets. A regime with one of the highest execution rates in the world, which continues to execute people every single day. A regime responsible for the massacre of tens of thousands of its own citizens. And now this same regime is being entrusted with defending women’s rights and human rights. As for combating terrorism, the absurdity speaks for itself. Few regimes have done more to spread fear, instability, violence, and extremism across the region and beyond. Yet some European democracies supported this nomination. The United Kingdom. Spain. France. Countries that claim to stand for freedom, democracy, and human rights. What message does this send to the women imprisoned in Iran? To political prisoners awaiting execution? To families who have buried their loved ones after decades of repression? What message does it send to the Iranian people, who have spent decades fighting, suffering, and dying for freedom? This is not diplomacy. It is a betrayal of the very values the United Nations claims to defend. Shame on everyone who made this possible. @UNHumanRights @UN @UNWatch

The Freie Universität Berlin showing some spine and moral clarity: "A boycott runs contrary to the founding principles of our university. International research depends on an open exchange of ideas. [...] Anyone who demands that relations to researchers and institutions be cut off does not understand the role of science and education in times of conflict. It is precisely in times such as these that we need reliable and enduring relationships that make room for different perspectives. These relationships help us to generate new knowledge and discoveries together. They also help keep pathways of communication open, which are often blocked when issues become increasingly polarized." fu-berlin.de/en/presse/infor…

Blijft confronterend. Wat een prachtige stadiums in Europa, ook in Boedapest. Wij kunnen dat ook. Waarom lukt het hier niet? #champi̇onsleague

Voor de liefhebbers van @parlement_NL : deze namiddag discussie over een Europa met twee snelheden. Wat ik alvast zal verdedigen als noodzakelijk en wenselijk (en al realiteit ook). @ItineraTwit tweedekamer.nl/debat_en_verg…

🚨 The Islamic regime HANGED Iranian MMA Champion Gholamreza Khani Shekarab They hanged Gholamreza today. He was our MMA champion, a coach and international referee. A real fighter who always made us proud. They accused him of spying for Israel. He had no fair trial. They didn’t give him a real lawyer. They only tortured him until he gave forced confessions. They took one of our own and hanged him like he was nothing. This regime is killing our people every single day. This truly breaks my heart. The world needs to know his name. Rest in power, Gholamreza. 💔

While all the mainstream media are talking whether Ahmadinejad is going to replace Khamenei, innocent people are being executed in in Iran every day. The New York Times, spent this week doing political analysis on a regime that, as you were reading it, was dragging two Kurdish men out of their cells at dawn and hanging them in secret. No trial worth mentioning. No family visit. No return of the bodies. Just, gone. Ramin Zaleh. Karim Maroufpour. Remember. Here's what I know about Iranian politics: it doesn't matter if it's Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, or whoever they find next, the machine keeps running. Arrest. Torture. Forced confession. Secret execution.

🆘 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🆘 The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests. She’s only 16. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill her. #IranMassacre #StopExecutionsInIran

Napraten bij een goed debat over de toekomst van sociaal overleg, loonnorm en indexering. Grote frustratie over centenindex, opvallend grote bereidheid tot echte modernisering. Hier ligt een kans. Ze vraagt goede betrokkenheid van de politiek.

Eerst Iran, dan Trump, dan Poetin, op bezoek in Peking. China wil "strategische stabiliteit" met Amerika, maar dat betekent strategische accommodatie van Chinese prioriteiten, terwijl de grootmachtenstrijd vooral doorgaat. 👇 @ItineraTwit @trendsbelgie trends.knack.be/opinie/const…
