Regendans"Sherine Falasteen, Diva Beirut en Anira Orlando werden na hun optreden tijdens de Brussels Pride op straat belaagd door een groep jongeren, meldt BRUZZ.
“Na ons optreden stapten we terug naar onze auto en werden we aangevallen door een groepje kinderen van misschien veertien jaar oud”, getuigt Diva Beirut op Instagram. Volgens de artiest breidde de groep echter snel uit tot zo’n 25 jongeren. “Ze gooiden een fiets naar mij, duwden mij op de grond, sloegen me en scholden mij uit.” Diva Beirut reageert geschokt op de feiten: “Ik heb dit nog nooit meegemaakt en ik ben al tien jaar dragqueen in Libanon.”
De organisatie van de Brussels Pride reageerde inmiddels via sociale media. Ze spreekt haar steun uit voor de slachtoffers en benadrukt dat incidenten als deze aantonen “waarom de Pride nog steeds nodig is”. “Niemand zou ooit moeten vrezen voor zijn veiligheid omwille van wie men is”, klinkt het. De Brussels Pride, die dit jaar als thema ‘When Times Get Darker, We Shine Brighter’ had, wou de lgbtq+-gemeenschap een hart onder de riem steken in tijden waarin holebirechten onder vuur liggen."

Rally In Brussels on 14 June & Month Of Decentralized Action Across Europe!
Brussels | June 14
Europe | Month Of Decentralized Action in June
We have been witnessing unprecedented levels of destruction and a war on life itself.
Genocides are being normalised, civilian infrastructure becoming the preferred target, international institutions paralysed by inaction.
Europe is no bystander.
Across the continent, governments are preparing citizens for war, reintroducing conscription, and diverting public resources to the war machine — while industry lines up to profit.
EU Institutions, keen to appease the global superpower, are content to aid imperial fantasies of reactionary forces as represented by Trump, Netanyahu and Alex Karp of Palantir: the red carpet is still rolled out, the weapons systems still exported, their bombers resupplied. This new age they wish to herald will be made even darker through expansion of software tested on Palestinians and built to maximise death and destruction.
We refuse this. And we are mobilising.
Join us — in Brussels and across Europe!
On 14 June at 2pm, we are taking to the streets of Brussels, in front of the institutions driving Europe’s rearmament. Together with the Stop Militarization Platform, we call on social movements, trade unions, civil society organisations, independent media, political forces, and parliamentarians — at European and national levels — to join us. Afterwards, we will gather in assembly to discuss and strategise the next steps of a Europe-wide mobilisation against the ReArm agenda.
14 June is a common focal point, not an endpoint. Throughout the month, movements, organisations and communities across the continent are called to organise their own demonstrations, public meetings, and coordinated actions.
Don’t forget to write us an email at [email protected] and to submit your action to the Calendar here [and here on Todon Acties]!
Let this be the month in which the Europe of peace, rights and democracy makes itself visible in the streets!
Why we are mobilising?
In the name of “security,” the European Union and NATO are pushing an unprecedented military expansion. €800 billion is already being redirected toward arms — resources taken from healthcare, education, climate action, and social provision. Over the next decade this could rise to €6.8 trillion, as NATO pressures member states toward military spending of up to 5% of GDP.
This is a permanent war economy that will reshape every part of life in Europe and beyond:
It deepens conflicts rather than resolving them. Pouring billions into weapons fuels global tensions and entrenches the logic that military force — not diplomacy — is Europe’s answer to every crisis.
It accelerates an arms race. Countries will react to their neighbours arming, with more weapons. Armed borders, proliferation of military bases, and readiness to invest in nuclear weapons will become the new normal.
It is a transfer of wealth from life to destruction. Every euro spent on weapons is a euro taken from social protection, just transition, and public services. Rearmament and the dismantling of our welfare systems are one and the same.
It targets the next generation. A rearmed Europe will demand soldiers. Young people will be asked to fight and die in wars they did not choose. Moreover, it will leave future generations with even greater debt.
It reshapes our societies. Militarisation brings surveillance, repression of dissent, and shrinking democratic space. War politics always carry authoritarian consequences.
We reject this direction. We stand for a Europe grounded in peace, democracy, human rights, and social and climate justice — a Europe that invests in care, solidarity, and international cooperation rather than in the arms industry.

Laatste kans voor grutto: kabinet werkt aan plan tegen EU-boete
Het kabinet doet nog een laatste poging om voor de zomer een nieuw overtuigend reddingsplan voor de grutto af te hebben. Dat vertellen bronnen aan de politieke redactie van RTL Nieuws. De laatste poging moet Brussel ervan weerhouden om een boete op te leggen, die volgens het ministerie van Landbouw kan oplopen tot jaarlijks 126 miljoen euro.

Patrick VanhouckeThe menu on the wall at Menma, a Japanese restaurant on Place Jourdan in Brussels. This is an authentic restaurant serving homemade Japanese ramen, established in 2014. They offer various types of ramen (creamy pork, creamy chicken and vegetarian). The prices are excellent and the staff are friendly. Yesterday it was my first visit here, but I’ll definitely be back.

A hundred years of Brussels city buses: a century of movement.
This month of May, Brussels is celebrating a significant milestone: a hundred years of organised city bus services. The STIB-MIVB and the Tram Museum are pulling out all the stops with a festive programme that brings together the past, present and future.
In 1926, ‘Les Autobus Bruxellois’ was founded to complement the tram network in a growing city. Following its integration into the STIB-MIVB (1954), the network expanded significantly, thanks to more powerful diesel engines from the 1960s onwards. Articulated buses appeared in the 1980s, low-floor buses in the 1990s, hybrid models from 2010 onwards, and since 2018 Brussels has been fully committed to electrification.
To mark the 100th anniversary, the Tram Museum is organising a free open-air exhibition in the Parc du Cinquantenaire on 16 and 17 May 2026.
