🎓✨ Officially Dr. Reuse! ✨🎓

After 4 years of hard work, I defended my PhD on ideology in local politics.

It was an unforgettable night. Grateful to my supervisors @NicolasBouteca & Kristof Steyvers, colleagues, family & friends for making this possible. ❤️

[Pedro Sánchez @sanchezcastejon]

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.

Our response then must be our response now:

NO to violations of international law.

NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.

NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.

NO TO WAR.

Remember that the US *does not care* about the people of Venezuela. It is not about "narcotrafficking", or "democracy", or whatever propaganda they have going. It is *explicitly* about US control over oil, capital accumulation, and geopolitical power.

Ook in de lokale politiek speelt ideologie een rol. Partijprogramma's verschillen net zoals op het nationale niveau van elkaar en kiezers stemmen ideologisch. Bij coalitievorming is de rol van ideologie beperkt. Dank om dit voor ons uit te klaren Raf Reuse. #UGent

Depraetere die @villapolitica beweert dat delen Vlaamse ontwikkelingssamenwerking na schrapping overgenomen worden de federale regering, terwijl daar ook 25% bespaard wordt.

De waarheid is eenvoudig: internationale solidariteit is van geen belang voor Arizona. Dom en kortzichtig

[Sepp Tyvaert @SeppTyvaert]

Wie @pieterdecrem verdedigt, verdedigt dat onze politici willekeurig en onwettig onze rechten mogen inperken, omdat we tot een groep behoren die hen niet aanstaat.

Dan ben je dus tegen de rechtsstaat en de fundamentele rechten en vrijheden van burgers.

The location of public services matters! Libraries and bus stops are welcomed but prisons and wind farms are contested. How can governments navigate these sensitivities? 🧐

Uit 't testament v Al-Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif:
"Moge God getuige zijn van degenen die zwegen, die onze moord hebben aanvaard, van wie de harten niet bewogen werden door de resten van onze gedode kinderen en vrouwen en die het bloedbad onder ons volk niet hebben gestopt"

[Brigitte Herremans @BriHerremans]

De houding van de huidige Belgische regering ten aanzien van Israël is beschamend, maar gelukkig pleit een groeiend aantal Belgische diplomaten voor een herstel voor onze traditie van respect voor het internationaal recht.

[Staf Aerts @StafAerts]

De regering De Wever blokkeert EU-sancties tegen Israël. De regering gaf Maxime Prévot geen mandaat om te stemmen voor het opschorten van het associatieakkoord. Niet bij unanimiteit en niet bij gekwalificeerde meerderheid. Beschamend.

[Jorge Liboreiro @JorgeLiboreiro]

Pedro Sánchez at #EUCO: "It makes no sense that we have imposed 17 rounds of sanctions on Russia (...) yet Europe, applying double standards, is unable to even suspend an association agreement when Israel is flagrantly violating Article 2 on respect for human rights."

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The US attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal, done in cooperation with a regime that is currently perpetrating a genocide, whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. That is the world we are in.

[Jeremie Vaneeckhout @JeremieVaneeckh]

Stel je voor, een gezondheidsraad die advies geeft over wat gezond is.

En onze minister-lobbyist schiet meteen in de kramp. Mensen mogen vrije keuzes maken én correct geïnformeerd zijn, toch?

@adamgendzwill @ElectStudiesUW @spoleczenstwopl @gulczynskim @Maciej76718052 @MartaKolcz @kamil_marc Congrats, Adam 🥳 Will be in my dissertation's reference list 😉

[Philippe Lemoine @phl43]

We have spent the past 3 years lecturing Russia about international law, but Israel launches a war against Iran, assassinates scientists and bombs civilian infrastructure, but she doesn't say a word about it and only talks about Iran. We are a fucking joke, it's truly pathetic.
