Deijl also felt his own team was not favored to win although that can also have a positive effect It seems obvious to me that AZ is the favorite although it is a compliment that people see it differently," said Deijl during a press conference in Zeist last week it was their first time playing in a cup final since 1965 there are flags everywhere," Deijl said of his club's home in Deventer The issue of anti-institutionalism and anti-institutional violent extremism was placed on the policy agenda in the Netherlands in June 2023 with the publication of the report on anti-institutional extremism by the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) we will explore the concept and phenomenon and focus on what anti institutionalism looks like in the Netherlands Part of the phenomenon is also the movement of sovereign citizens They pose a challenge that increasingly more municipalities have to deal with We question whether it makes sense to qualify anti-institutionalism as a form of (violent) extremism by referencing the academic definitional debate and by comparing the various models to study radicalisation with the way anti-institutionalism is materialising in the Netherlands After studying the radicalisation process and the underlying push and pull factors of anti-institutionalism we shift our focus to the national and local response mechanisms and policy frameworks We conclude with the identification of key challenges and opportunities for prevention response mechanisms Mission Statement: to assist the integration of foreign residents living in Spain and this is never more accurate than when you establish yourself as a foreign resident in a new country Being able to quickly familiarise yourself with the culture and customs can help ease the transition during a challenging time This is why Euro Weekly News makes it our mission to provide you with a free news resource in English that covers both regional and national Spanish news – anything that we feel you will benefit from knowing as you integrate into your new community and live your best life in Spain you can forget about translating articles from Spanish into awkward English that probably don’t make much sense Let us be your convenient and essential guide to all things that will likely affect you as a foreign resident living in Spain Deventer in The Netherlands transformed when almost a thousand people donned costumes creating a picture postcard image of 19th-century England for the Dickens Festijn the Dutch town celebrated one of its biggest festivals in honour of English writer Charles Dickens Participants brought back to life characters from The Pickwick Papers and more in a giant form of street theatre and Miss Havisham all featured among chimney sweeps and even someone playing the role of Queen Victoria in the historic old town of Deventer Street market stallholders were selling antiques and traditional sweets and cakes of the time The annual tradition began as a protest against local rules that made Emmy Strik keep her antiques shop closed on Sundays Strik and other shop owners dressed up in 19th-century English costumes to form a protest march around the centre of town Now 84 years old, Strik has amassed more than 1,000 Dickensian costumes for the event which organisers enforce with a strict dress code policy with absolutely no trainers or any of the accoutrements of 21st-century living This was the 32nd year of the Dickens festival which now attracts around 100,000 visitors each year to see the actors and those who just dress up for fun to wander around the streets of Deventer and join in with the world’s biggest improvised play Subscribe to our Euro Weekly News alerts to get the latest stories into your inbox Euro Weekly News is the leading English language newspaper in Spain by delivering news with a social conscience we are proud to be the voice for the expat communities who now call Spain home With around half a million print readers a week and over 1.5 million web views per month EWN has the biggest readership of any English language newspaper in Spain The paper prints over 150 news stories a week with many hundreds more on the web – no one else even comes close Our publication has won numerous awards over the last 25 years including Best Free Newspaper of the Year (Premios AEEPP) Company of the Year (Costa del Sol Business Awards) and Collaboration with Foreigners honours (Mijas Town Hall) All of this comes at ZERO cost to our readers All our print and online content always has been and always will be FREE OF CHARGE Download our media pack in either English or Spanish Four secondary schools in Deventer sent their students home on Tuesday morning after a threat of a mass shooting at the VMBO De Marke.

The club had expected the residents to oppose building a new stand as part of the expansion but had not expected this kind of resistance at the last second There is a file with over 50 objections against the location of Go Ahead Eagles stadium "The English setting of a stadium with open corners in a residential area will lead to more spectators and more events when the capacity is increased The nuisance in the neighborhood will increase The environment is not suitable for processing large flows of visitors The stadium does not fit into a national vision for good spatial planning," said the residents via the attorney office AVC Go Ahead stated that it has been in intensive consultation with these residents since 2022 to properly prepare the plans for a new IJsselstand and B-side "The necessary changes have been made to the plans in the last year and a half at the request of the neighbors This to the full satisfaction of most residents," says Van Dop The old stadium entrance on the Brinkgreverweg was previously closed and visitors can no longer walk behind the stadium in the residents' back garden You can read this article in 2 minutesPölös Zsófia The secured truck parking facility on Van der Landeweg in Deventer featuring enhanced safety and amenities for truck drivers which has long accommodated over 100 trucks now meets all European requirements following recent upgrades The renovations include enhanced facilities for resting drivers and 24/7 safety monitoring from a private control room These improvements aim to provide a comfortable and secure environment for truck drivers during their mandatory rest periods The province of Overijssel has contributed to the project emphasizing the importance of good and safe facilities for truck drivers in the logistics sector a leading and sustainable business park in the Netherlands This facility aligns with the recent development of a hydrogen filling station at the park serving both national and international trucks Despite the positive developments in Deventer Transport and Logistics Netherlands (TLN) stressed the ongoing shortage of truck parking spaces in the country A recent study for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management estimated a deficit of approximately 4,400 spaces TLN warned that the shortage is likely to worsen due to the growing transport and logistics sector and the disappearance of existing parking facilities Agnieszka Kulikowska - Wielgus Journalist Trans.info | 6.05.2025 Pölös Zsófia Journalist Trans.info | 5.05.2025 Fragrance on the Fly: Why Pocket Perfumes Are Perfect for Airplane TravelSponsored Article 6.05.2025 Adventures with Van Gogh is a weekly blog by Martin Bailey The Art Newspaper's long-standing correspondent and expert on the Dutch painter stories range from newsy items about this most intriguing artist to scholarly pieces based on meticulous investigations and discoveries Explore all of Martin’s adventures with Van Gogh here Sam van Deventer, the director of the Kröller-Müller Museum during the Second World War, was deeply involved in collaborating with the Nazis, according to a new biography. Ariëtte Dekker has uncovered a disturbing story in her book The Confidant: Sam van Deventer (1888-1972) published in Dutch this week by Prometheus Van Deventer even hosted a family 50th birthday party for Arthur Seyss-Inquart the Reich Commissioner for the German occupying forces in the Netherlands Seyss-Inquart created a reign of terror and under his rule around 100,000 Dutch Jews were sent to their deaths After the Second World War Seyss-Inquart was found guilty of war crimes and executed in a national park on heathland in the east of the Netherlands In 1908 Van Deventer was taken on by Helene’s husband From then onwards he would become closely involved with the couple their trading and shipping company—and the art collection Although German-born Helene had married Anton in 1888 she has always been believed to have become Van Deventer’s lover For two decades Van Deventer lived with the couple on the Kröller-Müllers’ estate just outside The Hague Dekker gained access to a chest containing more than 3,000 letters from Helene to Van Deventer Dekker believes it unlikely that a sexual relationship was actually consummated since Van Deventer once wrote that Helene had convinced him of the superiority of platonic love Helene was also twenty years older than him Helene Kröller-Müller and Anton Kröller (1920s) Kröller-Müller Museum (photo archive) Van Deventer soon became involved in helping Helene build up her Van Gogh collection although initially he found the artist difficult to appreciate In 1914 she wrote to him that the artist’s published letters were “like a true mirror of the human soul” Van Deventer soon became an enthusiast and later went on to organise touring exhibitions of Helene’s Van Gogh works in Switzerland Germany and Belgium (1927-28) and in America (1936-37) In 1919 Helene had commissioned the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde to design a “grand museum” for her collection (which included many other late 19th- and early 20th-century artists) but a few years later the plan was aborted because of financial problems impacting on Anton’s business A more modest museum finally opened near Otterlo in July 1938 with Van Deventer’s much-needed assistance only a few weeks after the outbreak of the Second World War Helene Kröller-Müller’s coffin among her Van Goghs in the Kröller-Müller Museum (15 December 1939) Kröller-Müller Museum (photo archive) What is deeply troubling about Van Deventer’s life is the role that he played following the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940 As an assistant to the opportunistic Anton he made every effort to be helpful to the Germans who quickly promoted him as director of the Kröller-Müller Museum Sam van Deventer at the Kröller-Müller Museum (November 1940) Kröller-Müller Museum (photo archive) Van Deventer would sign letters to the German authorities “Heil Hitler” and gave them Nazi salutes He allowed the Germans to temporarily store art Van Deventer arranged the sale of three of the museum’s German old masters including Lucas Cranach’s Venus with Amor the Honey Thief (after 1537) for the personal collection of Hermann Göring Van Deventer then spent part of the proceeds acquiring paintings by Camille Pissarro and Camille Corot which had been looted from Jewish owners and delivered by German art dealers is that Van Deventer successfully safeguarded Helene’s important collection of modern art from war damage The Van Goghs were safely stored in a specially constructed shelter built beneath two metres of concrete and eight metres of sand He was also successful in protecting the national park and its hunting lodge during the war the Kröller-Müller Museum was liberated by Canadian troops Two days earlier Van Deventer had been arrested and he would then spend 15 months in detention Initial attempts were made to charge him for war crimes He was freed in July 1946 and in 1950 the case against him was adjourned in 1948 he had been formally dismissed as director of the museum which had reopened in October 1945 under a new acting director Van Gogh’s The Olive Trees (June 1889) Museum of Modern Art By far the most important work was The Olive Trees Van Deventer had bought this in 1925 from the estate of the distinguished German collector Karl Ernst Osthaus paying 20,000 guilders (then around $8,000) This was recorded for the government’s Art Property Foundation after the war Dekker believes that it is “likely to have been a senior Nazi official” possibly even Göring himself (during the war he acquired twelve Van Goghs The whereabouts of The Olive Trees during the war remains unknown but by 1946 it was with two Swiss-based dealers The noted American collector John Hay Whitney bought the painting in 1947 and his widow bequeathed it to MoMA in 1998 funded by gradually selling off his personal art collection In 1966 he moved to Switzerland and bought the house of the deceased architect Van de Velde Van Gogh’s Recumbent Nude (early 1887) Kröller-Müller Museum Van Deventer died in 1972 and his ashes were buried next to the graves of Helene and Anton He had retained only two of his Van Goghs at the end of his life: the painting Recumbent Nude and the drawing Woman with a Wheelbarrow (March 1883) In 2005 both were bequeathed by his son Rudi to the Kröller-Müller Museum Martin Bailey is a leading Van Gogh

The new city hall in Deventer unites the old historical city hall with a new city office The new building complex is located at the ‘Grote Kerkhof’ and extends as far as the ‘Burseplein’ The 24.000 m2 large project consists of 20.000 m2 new buildings and 4.000 m2 renovation and restoration of existing listed monuments The project consists of an entrance building with a main building behind it and unites all of Deventer’s employees It houses the city council and all municipal services and invigorates a formerly forgotten part of the inner city PlanBUILDING AND ENVIRONMENT The front building at the ‘Grote Kerkhof’ consists of two layers with a sloped roof and a facade composition with strong vertical lines, like its neighbouring buildings ‘de Hereeniging’ and the old city hall. This continuity makes the front building effortlessly fit in with its historical surroundings. By placing the roof backwards a city balcony is created. This makes the facade appear more separated, creating a recognizable facade at the ‘Grote Kerkhof’.  ElevationFACADES AND ART Open filigree wooden frames and closed brick volumes alternate within the facades. The stone facades consist of large block masonry with protruding window frames. The bricks are multi-coloured creating a lively image. The filigree facades consist of a grid of different sized oak wood frames. The oak framework provides space to integrate contemporary art in the building’s architecture.  © Scagliola BrakkeeIn collaboration with local artist Loes ten Anscher a series of aluminium grids was designed to fit within the oak framework, containing 2.264 unique fingerprints of 2.264 different citizens of Deventer. Spread out over the outer and inner facades of the building they form one large work of art. The visible presence of Deventer citizens in the facade turns the city hall into a true ‘Citizen House’. © Scagliola BrakkeeSUSTAINABILITY The Deventer City Hall is one the most sustainable public/government buildings in the Netherlands. Thanks to a clever design with tall spaces, vast amounts of daylight and air, optimized use of as many natural sources as possible, the implementation of green and multiple technical sustainable measures. © Scagliola BrakkeeThe great amount of windows roof lights and high ceilings allow natural light to enter the building everywhere creating an agreeable working environment and simultaneously lowering the electricity consumption The exposed concrete inside the building contributes to a high-quality comfortable indoor environment: the concrete stores warmth or cold in various seasons The shed roof construction in the public hall prevents direct sunlight from entering and overheating the building Ventilation ducts and grids in the windows and floors let fresh air seep into the building By transporting this heated air out of the building via the atrium rainwater and water from the IJssel river (for cooling and heating) increases the building’s sustainability with 25% as opposed to similar offices in the Netherlands The City Hall received the Dutch sustainable GPR score of 8 to 9 as well as the international qualification BREEAM ‘Excellent’ You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email
