"I now take lunch early and at my desk. This is a big cultural change because French meals can be long. This has been one of my adjustments."

Rain fences are designed to store rainwater, reducing pressure on drainage systems during heavy downpours and preserving water for gardens during dry spells. This innovative approach is gaining attention in neighborhoods like Veldhoven, where residents are eager to learn about the costs and benefits of such installations.

"The homes have to be built: that is the primary need right now. Luxury takes time, and we do not have time."

With 1.5 billion euros per week in VAT revenue at stake, there are now serious concerns about digital sovereignty. If that revenue of €1.5B a week disappears, the state will have to quickly borrow more on the international capital market. In theory, America could stop this process in the Netherlands thanks to a new tender.

The Netherlands has the opportunity to build a European data center with 100,000 AI chips and 20 petabytes of storage, but the government is lagging behind in terms of financial commitment. Energy company Eneco and data center party Volt, who together want to build the AI gigafactory, warn that neighboring countries are moving ahead and emptying the EU subsidy pot of 20 billion euros. "While the Netherlands actually has very good conditions," according to Eneco.

She had intended to speak about the flashpoints in international politics, Greenland and Ukraine, and US President Donald Trump, but the journalists present kept returning to the issue of the Mercosur agreement and how her party scuppered its ratification. Mercosur, the EU's major trade deal with the four South American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, was meant to be a sign of hope in a world of increasing nationalism a boost to trade based on rules, not punitive tariffs.

A business model heavily focused on growth at the expense of nature is not only unsustainable, but threatens extinction if not reversed. That's according to a landmark "Business and Biodiversity Assessment Report" published by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a global independent research body comprising more than 150 member states' governments. Setting out to reframe the often-destructive relationship between nature and commerce, the first-time assessment shows how business both impacts and depends on biodiversity,

Solvinity provides the platform on which DigiD, MijnOverheid, and secure communications for Justice and Security run. The CDA spoke of "critical infrastructure for the Netherlands" that must remain in Dutch or European hands. D66 member Sarah El Boujdaini also opposed the sale: "Digital resilience is national security." The concern extends beyond this acquisition alone. Experts had previously demanded transparency about the deal. Municipalities that chose Solvinity because of national control, including Amsterdam, also felt blindsided.

"It's in that spirit that we can still talk about a fracturing, more dangerous, world, in which the U.S. is less vaunted, the USD loses its reserve currency status, and where the U.S. focuses instead on the Western Hemisphere as its sole and defendable redoubt," the pair explained.

EU leaders gathered for a hastily arranged summit in Brussels on Thursday evening, hours after most of them had been in Davos for the World Economic Forum amid the furore over Greenland caused by US President Donald Trump. The emergency summit was originally supposed to discuss a response to threats of fresh tariffs over Greenland. But US President Donald Trump's nebulous announcement of a "deal" appeared to have taken this specter off the table, at least in the immediate term.

You know what is at stake. Whether I will continue to be your prime minister depends on how strong a mandate you give the Social Democrats in the parliamentary election to be held on March 24th, 2026. It will now be up to you, the voters, to decide which direction will be set for Denmark for the next four years, and I am really looking forward to it.
