It is a response to the identity crisis in which the European Union finds itself. A crisis that leads to the disintegration of the EU, with the risk of falling back to t...

De Haarlem uit de ‘Alkmaar klasse’ verhaalt de historie van een bijzonder goede Europese samenwerking die nog steeds vaak als voorbeeld wordt aangehaald. Gebouwd van polyester en voorzien van de nieuwste Franse sonar bleken de schepen in Nederlandse dienst uitstekend te voldoen. Zo werden in 1984 de splinternieuwe Haarlem en Harlingen uitgezonden voor mijnenbestrijding in de Rode Zee. Een ommezwaai in de filosofie van zowel de politiek als de marineleiding was hiervoor nodig.

After a violent storm in January 1647 in the Netherlands, votive stones and altars with texts and reliefs referring to an unknown goddess named Nehalennia were found on a beach in Zeeland. It was, and still is, incorrectly maintained in history that she was a goddess who belonged to a local cult. This happened not only because of the tunnel vision of researchers, but also because information was demonstrably and consciously withheld. As a result, Nehalennia acquired the stature of a legend.
