The invitation launched by Pascal Smet (Vooruit) to the mayor of Tehran caused the resignation of the Brussels Secretary of State for international relations. It also almost provoked that of Hadja Lahbib (MR), Minister of Foreign Affairs, who issued the visas to the Iranian delegation. This invitation was launched within the framework of the Brussels Urban Summit, which brought together three international conferences.

“He was lost by his ego”: the Brussels government did nothing to save Pascal Smet; the pressure is now maximum on Hadja Lahbib

This Monday followingnoon, in the Finance Committee, Secretary of State Ans Persoons answered questions from MP Clémentine Barzin (MR).

According to the successor to Pascal Smet, the total “provisional” budget of the Brussels Urban Summit which took place in June amounts to 2.163 million euros. These amounts are devoted to logistics, room rental and equipment for such an event. “It’s comparable to what is planned for events of comparable magnitude,” said Ans Persoons. The City of Brussels has also paid for the accommodation of several dozen member cities of the Metropolis network. This was also planned for the mayor of Tehran and the vice mayor of Kazan, but the explosion of the Iranian affair led Pascal Smet’s cabinet to change its tune.

Iranian and Russian mayors were accommodated at NH Collection and Hilton

The Secretary of State also confirmed to Clémentine Barzin that the budget allocated to the French agency Resonance, responsible for selling the image of Brussels internationally, amounts to 600,000 euros per year. The Brussels MP was indeed surprised that the company chosen for the City marketing strategy of Brussels was not… from Brussels.

[Voice of Hope, July 16, 2023](Comprehensive report by our reporter Li Hui) In the face of China’s economic downturn, the CCP continues to tighten control over speech. CCP President Xi Jinping asked the CAC to be “loyal to the party” and “dare to fight and shine the sword.”

From July 14th to 15th, the CCP’s National Network Security and Informatization Work Conference was held in Beijing. Xi Jinping gave instructions on this, proposing that “the party must manage the Internet”, “management is the last word”, and “build a strong country”. “Network security barrier”, insisting that “positive energy is the general requirement”, “management is the last word”, and requires the cyberspace administration at all levels to be “loyal to the party” and “dare to fight and shine the sword”.

Cai Qi, Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Ding Xuexiang, Vice Premier of the State Council, Wang Xiaohong, Minister of Public Security, Chen Wenqing, Secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee, Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and others attended the meeting. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong Province, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, People’s Daily and other relevant personnel spoke at the meeting.

Cai Qi said that it is necessary to strengthen “positive propaganda and guidance” and “prevent network ideological risks” on the Internet. It also requires in-depth study of Xi Jinping’s thoughts on network security, comprehension of “two establishments” and “two maintenances” to improve the effectiveness of comprehensive network governance , “Firmly grasp the leadership of Internet ideological work.”

In recent years, the CCP has been besieged internally and externally. Not only has it been besieged internationally, but domestic conflicts have also escalated.

Recent data point to a sharp decline in economic momentum due to weak demand at home and abroad, as well as a prolonged slump in China’s real estate market, especially the recent depreciation of the yuan, exacerbating debt risks for domestic companies and the government. Even the “insiders” within the CCP system have issued warnings: If the economy continues to deteriorate, the legitimacy of the CCP’s ruling will be shaken.

In the face of the CCP’s dilemma, Xi Jinping has issued warnings many times.

On May 30 this year, Xi Jinping attended the first meeting of the National Security Committee of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and said that the current CCP is facing “significantly increased complexity and difficulty of national security issues.” “Persist in bottom-line thinking and extreme thinking” and be prepared to “bear the major test of high winds and even stormy waves.”

On July 1, the founding day of the CCP, the CCP’s publication Qiushi published Xi Jinping’s speech at the Central Party School in March last year. Xi Jinping said, “If the people we train don’t believe in Marxism and communism, and don’t hold up the banner of socialism with Chinese (CCP) characteristics, there will be drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.” It is unbearable to look back on the tragedy of “In the Moonlight”!”

“The old country can’t bear to look back on Yuemingzhong” comes from the representative work “Yu Meiren” by Li Yu, the last king of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This also shows that the Xi Jinping government seems to have sensed that a crisis is coming.

Professor Song Guocheng, a senior researcher at the International Relations Research Center of National Chengchi University, once told The Epoch Times that these speeches show that Xi Jinping has an extreme sense of crisis, and he is very afraid that the CCP will collapse like the Soviet Communist Party. “We are now in the most dangerous period since the establishment of the Communist Party of China, and the international environment often has so-called turbulent waves. After the epidemic was unblocked, the Chinese economy is generally in a very weak state. Especially the unemployment and lay-off problems of young people, and People are running out one following another, and companies are moving out, so Xi Jinping is very anxious. Because these factors are combined, it is very likely that his red regime will be shaken.”

Ed Sheeran welcomed an unexpected surprise guest during his concert in Detroit on Saturday, as Eminem appeared on stage to perform two of his biggest hits alongside the British singer.

In his performance at Ford Field in the motor city, Sheeran recognized Eminem’s hometown by first going solo with the success of 8 Mile, ‘Lose Yourself’, telling the public that he had rehearsed it that same day. “We’ll see how it turns out,” he said.

Then, without warning and halfway through the song, Slim Shady himself came on stage to accompany him:

“Can I say that he was going to go out and do a song, but I told him you can’t go out in Detroit and do just one song. Do you want another song?” Sheeran asked the audience.

Eminem stayed to sing ‘Stan,’ and Sheeran played Dido to the rapper’s obsessed fan. “Detroit, I’ve missed you!” Eminem told the audience following the performance.

The duet was something of a reunion between Sheeran and Eminem, who had previously performed together during the rapper’s induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, in which the two performed “Stan” together as part of a mix of tracks from Slim Shady.

The two artists first collaborated together in 2017 when Sheeran guested on the song ‘River’ by Revival from Eminem. The rapper returned the favor a year later with his participation in ‘Remember the Name’, a cut from the project No. 6 Collaborations de Sheeran.
