De 23-jarige Andrea Pedro-Francisco wordt door ICE vastgehouden. Andrea heeft een grote cyste in haar eierstokken die op 11 februari verwijderd zou worden. Zonder operatie kan ze komen te overlijden. Omdat ICE haar vastzette, ging dit niet door. www.amnesty.nl/forms/email-...

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.
