The highly defensible/hard to object to demand that should be coming from every European politician now is a rapid timeline for free and fair elections in Venezuela
The government’s had 24 hours to agree a line on this. There are obviously diplomatic reasons they might not condemn things as forcefully as many of us would like.
But this weird “we respect international law but won’t say anything further” line is nonsensical and cannot hold.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.

Israël schoot twee “verdachten” neer in Gaza. Ze bleken jongens van 9 en 10 jaar oud
Het Israëlische leger blijft beweren dat Fadi en Goma Abu Assi een acuut gevaar vormden toen een drone hen doodschoot. De jongens waren 9 en 10 jaar, en hun grootste misstap lijkt dat ze de Israëlische ‘Gele Lijn’ overschreden hadden.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Dus ja, we gaan nog jarenlang met massaal extra sluipverkeer door de wijken zitten - zie kaartje. Er is besloten om deze nieuwe XL-autostrade door de stad te bouwen zonder extra OV, minderhinder- of circulatieplan. Iedereen wist het, het interesseerde geen hond (ook 'de burgerbewegingen' niet). 3/3

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive!
$126/MWh in 2030!
New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas!
New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas!
Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter. #energysky

Al 13 jaar weigert deze stad maatregelen te nemen tegen sluipverkeer. Al 13 jaar lang tuffen al die fileratjes door de ongezonde sluiproutes/street canyons in de armste wijken. Geen haan die daarnaar kraait. Maar wanneer die auto’s zich nu vastrijden vragen we ons plots wél bezorgd af hoe dat komt?
Waarom duizenden “Waze-zombies” zich vastreden in Antwerpen (en maandag misschien nog eens)
“Volg alsjeblieft niét je verkeersapp, maar kijk naar de borden.” Dat is de boodschap voor wie de komende dagen nog door de werken aan de Oosterweelverbinding moet. Waarom miskijken Waze en Google Maps zich zo op deze verkeersknobbel?
