☆ EU climate chief Timmermans to run in Dutch election

AMSTERDAM/BRUSSELS, July 20 (Reuters) - EU climate chief Frans Timmermans on Thursday said he wants to become the next Dutch prime minister and will contest a parliamentary election in the Netherlands in November. The four-party coalition government of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte resigned earlier this month after failing to reach an agreement on restricting immigration, triggering a vote on Nov. 22. Timmermans had been tipped as a top candidate to lead the Dutch parties following his campaign for European social democrats in the 2019 European election, which was widely regarded as a success. Timmermans, who speaks English, German, French, Italian and Russian in addition to his native Dutch, is known as a skilled negotiator during international climate negotiations and his departure from EU politics will cause shockwaves. How well he may perform in Dutch politics is an open question, but a poll published on Thursday indicated that 39% of Dutch voters said they trusted him to lead the next government.

A Dutch town is suing Twitter to get all tweets about a conspiracy theory involving it taken down. The tweets falsely claimed that Satan-worshipping pedophiles were active in the town in the 1980s. They falsely claimed that a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles was active in the town in the 1980s, according to Reuters. The town's lawyer, Cees van de Zanden, told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant: "If conspiracy theorists don't remove their messages, then the platforms involved need to act." In July, van de Zanden said Bodegraven asked Twitter to find and remove all messages relating to the pedophile claims but was still waiting for a response.

REUTERS/Florence Lo/IllustrationTHE HAGUE, Sept 16 (Reuters) - A small Dutch town took Twitter (TWTR.N) to court on Friday to demand the social media giant takes down all messages relating to a supposed ring of satan-worshipping paedophiles that were alleged to have been active in the town in the 1980s. Twitter's lawyer Jens van den Brink declined to comment before the hearing at The Hague District Court on Friday. But despite their conviction, stories about Bodegraven still circulate on social media as others have continued to echo their story, leading the town to take the matter up with Twitter itself. "If conspiracy theorists don't remove their messages, then the platforms involved need to act," the town of Bodegraven's lawyer Cees van de Zanden was quoted as saying by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant on Friday.
