Never before have so many measures been taken to prevent the National Commemoration on Dam Square from being disrupted tonight. For example, fewer people are welcome than normal and a time limit applies demonstration ban.
With all the emotions surrounding the war between Israel and Hamas, there are fears of disturbances. It is not the first time that tensions in society have reflected on the commemoration of the dead, which has been organized since 1946.
For example, in the 1960s young people criticized the commemoration of the Vietnam War; they felt that the Americans were being praised too much. A smoke bomb was thrown during the commemoration.
Furthermore, theologian Rikko Voorberg wanted in 2017 three thousand place crosses during the commemoration, to commemorate refugees. After much commotion he abandoned the action.
In 2018, activists wanted to draw attention to the Indonesian victims of the War of Independence in the former Dutch East Indies by organizing a air raid siren to let go. That was prohibited by the judge. Since 2020, the Indonesian victims also have a place in the commemoration.
The US Antitrust Accuses The Symbol Of Shale…
Collapsed with OPEC. And therefore unworthy of joining the ExxonMobil board. Those made against Scott Sheffield by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the US Antitrust Authority, are serious accusations, which could lead to an indictment, which, in order to give the green light to the merger between the first US oil company and Pioneer Natural Resources, set the conditional on the banning of the founder and CEO of the latter, in office until last December.
The 60 billion dollar deal will happen. But an ignominious curtain falls on the career of Sheffield – one of the most well-known and esteemed protagonists in the world of shale oil.
Kyle Mach, deputy director of the FTC’s competition division, comes down hard: “Mr. Sheffield’s past conduct makes it crystal clear why he shouldn’t even be anywhere near Exxon’s boardroom.”
Even harsher comments than those put in black and white in the FTC statement, which talks about the need to prevent Sheffield from «engaging in collusive activities that would potentially raise oil prices, leading American consumers and businesses to pay higher prices for petrol, diesel, heating oil and aviation fuel”.
The very language chosen to justify the ostracism towards Sheffield reinforces the doubt that it is a political maneuver with a populist flavour,

From Defeat To Redemption: The Resurgence Of A…
Back in 2016, Kelly Ayotte was a prominent figure within the GOP. Fast forward to 2017, and she had transitioned from senator to former senator.
Today, the New Hampshire Republican is embarking on a journey back into the political arena, aiming to secure the Republican nomination for governor of her state. One notable shift from her past to the present: her stance towards Donald Trump.
During her seven-year hiatus from office, Ayotte remained engaged in political and policy circles, preparing for her next venture. This involved earning substantial sums from corporate board positions, contributing articles on state and national matters to newspapers, and providing counsel to one of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees during the confirmation process early in his administration.
The Evolution of Ayotte’s Political Journey
In 2016, Ayotte was approaching the end of her initial Senate term, establishing herself as a significant GOP voice on national security amidst Trump’s unexpected ascent in politics.
Similar to many Republicans at the time, Ayotte initially supported Trump but later retracted her endorsement shortly before the 2016 Election Day following the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape where Trump made inappropriate remarks about women.
Expressing her disapproval,
