We hebben de afgelopen 6 jaar heel veel mensen kunnen helpen, tot Twitter X werd en mensen daar massaal vertrokken. Veel volgers die we daar nu lijken te hebben zijn er niet meer, de Belgen krijgen nog amper te zien wat we posten en we kunnen ook veel minder Nederlanders bereiken dan vroeger. 1/6

De Spaanse premier Pedro Sanchez is, zoals wel vaker, scherper dan zijn Europese collega's. Benieuwd of Madrid een rol gaat spelen de komende weken in een alternatief scenario los van Trump. Er wonen heel wat gevluchte Venezolanen in Spanje, vaak omschreven als bolwerk van de Venezolaanse oppositie.

Willen hoogopgeleide ouders echt een diverse school? Het zijn confronterende grafieken die De Standaard toont over het aantal kinderen dat niet het Nederlands als thuistaal heeft en hoe dat evolueert per school. Veel kinderen worden cruciale kansen ontzegd.

Ik ben wel eens benieuwd naar die cijfers.
