Venezuela, the holder of the world’s largest proven oil reserves, has been suffering due to the low oil prices. Venezuela’s economy, which officials admitted last week was officially in recession, relies heavily on oil exports. President Nicolas Maduro is now turning to allies for direct financial support, and seeks cooperation from fellow oil producers to […]
Volgens de zojuist verschenen Burgerperspectieven van het SCP verdwijnen de zorgen van de burger over de economie naar de achtergrond, wordt het thema integratie weer belangrijker en groeit de steun voor terrorismebestrijding en militaire missies. Dit soort inzichten zegt echter weinig over hoe 2015 kan gaan verlopen. Wat de economie betreft startte in 2014 een […]

Veel Nederlanders verafschuwen die, om haar schurkerige zelfverrijking én het feit dat zij voorstander is van immigratie. De hardwerkende Nederlander wordt dus door die elite op twee manieren gepakt: hij wordt erdoor uitgemolken en […]
