How Dominic Fritz wants to develop Timisoara. Completely different approach from Robu, a “strong” development follower. Immediately after becoming mayor of Timişoara, Nicolae Robu announced that his plan is to develop Timişoara “by force”. At one point, the former mayor even installed signs at the entrance of the city through which those who entered Timisoara were informed that many works are open. The new mayor, Dominic Fritz, announced another approach to big projects, stating that he wants to put quality first. Fritz says that in 2021 work will begin on two EU-funded projects, Calea Bogdăneştilor and Cetăţii Boulevard, both projects inherited from the previous administration, according to Adevărul.

Assange’s trial: a test for press freedom. A London court ruled on January 4 whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States at the end of an unfair trial. German politicians demand his release from solitary confinement. In the opinion of the German environmentalist Margit Stumpp, this process is “a litmus test for the Western community of values.” Along with Social Democrats, Christian Democrats, Liberals and the left, Stumpp founded the inter-party working group “Freedom for Julian Assange” on December 21. She told DW that she saw the rule of law violated in the extradition process. For example, she was not accepted as an observer at trial. “I’ve been to Turkey many times. I had no problem getting into the courtroom,” Stumpp said, making an unflattering comparison for Britain.

Iran’s long road to nuclear weapons. Iran’s nuclear program has a long history of lies, betrayal, sabotage and assassinations. It may read like a spy novel, but it’s actually a very real story about power and supremacy in the Middle East. Iran began its nuclear program as an American ally, even receiving substantial aid from Washington, but it has turned into one of the biggest nightmares for Pentagon military planners and White House politicians. The Mossad, the Russians and even the father of the Pakistani nuclear weapon went all the way, all for an explosive cocktail of intrigues with the potential to destabilize the Middle East, PressOne writes.

Leopold II of Belgium / Author of the first genocide of the 20th century. Today, his memory is preserved with sanctity, being glorified in most of the main cities of Belgium, with gilded statues. Also in school, Belgian students learn that it was a Samaritan, a philanthropist, who brought the benefits of the Christian faith and European culture to the Congo. In reality, things are far from being this way. The truth stayed away from the Belgian people, and not only. “The great philanthropist Leopold” is directly responsible for the death or maiming of more than 10 million people in the Congo. The villages were burned so that the inhabitants could not hide, they held the women and children captive, telling the men that they would kill them if they did not bring the required amount of rubber required. This amount was 15 kg of rubber, per day, as he pointed out.
