Ondanks verzet Kamer verlengt kabinet contract met DigiD-bedrijf

DEN HAAG (ANP) - Ondanks verzet in de Tweede Kamer verlengt het kabinet begin volgende maand het contract met Solvinity, het bedrijf dat ervoor zorgt dat DigiD kan draaien. Dat schrijft verantwoordelijk staatssecretaris Eric van der Burg (Binnenlandse Zaken) op vragen van JA21 aan de Kamer.

Plannen van het Amerikaanse bedrijf Kyndryl om Solvinity over te nemen zijn in een vergevorderd stadium. Daar is weerstand tegen in de Kamer. Die vreest dat vertrouwelijke gegevens dan in bepaalde gevallen in handen van de Amerikaanse autoriteiten kunnen vallen.

Volgens Van der Burg moet hij het contract met Solvinity wel verlengen omdat anders "de continuïteit en veiligheid van de dienstverlening van Logius in gevaar komt". Logius is het overheidsbedrijf dat eigenaar is van DigiD.

"Derhalve heb ik op 27 maart 2026 het besluit genomen dat Logius haar contract met Solvinity mag verlengen met twee jaar. De ondertekening van deze verlenging zal begin mei 2026 plaatsvinden", aldus de staatssecretaris.

Gemeente: politie bereidt zich voor op opheffen blokkade op A12

UTRECHT (ANP) - De politie bereidt zich voor op het verwijderen van de demonstranten en op het opheffen van de blokkade op de A12. Dat meldt de gemeente Utrecht op X. Klimaatdemonstranten van XR zijn bij De Meern de snelweg opgelopen. De politie wist ze niet tegen te houden.

Rijkswaterstaat heeft de weg daar in beide richtingen afgesloten. Eén rijstrook is open maar daar staat het verkeer al muurvast. Verkeer wordt voorlopig omgeleid via de A4, A9 en de A2. "Vanwege de hinder adviseren we weggebruikers om de wegen rond Utrecht te mijden."

Een aantal weggebruikers die stilstonden, stapten uit om naar de blokkade te kijken. Een paar boze automobilisten probeerden activisten fysiek weg te trekken, zag een ANP-fotograaf.

De activisten rolden over een viaduct een groot spandoek uit met de tekst: Stop fossiele subsidies: jij betaalt voor oorlog, honger en onrecht.

Wielrenner Alaphilippe mist Luik-Bastenaken-Luik om gezondheid

LUIK (ANP/BELGA) - Julian Alaphilippe staat zondag niet aan de start van de 112e editie van Luik-Bastenaken-Luik. De 33-jarige Fransman mist de Ardennenklassieker om "medische redenen", meldt zijn ploeg Tudor Pro Cycling Team via sociale media. De tweevoudig wereldkampioen laat om die reden volgende week vrijdag ook Eschborn-Frankfurt aan zich voorbijgaan.

"Hij zal niet deelnemen aan de komende wedstrijden om prioriteit te geven aan zijn gezondheid", zo meldt de ploeg.

Alaphilippe ging negen keer van start in de Ardennenkoers. Zijn beste klassering reed hij in 2015 en 2021, toen hij een tweede plek veroverde. In 2020 leek de Fransman de zege te pakken, maar juichte te vroeg, waardoor de Sloveen Primoz Roglic er met de winst vandoor ging. Alaphilippe werd vijfde.

De Zwitserse ploeg verschijnt zondag ook zonder Marc Hirschi aan de start. De Zwitser brak woensdag zijn sleutelbeen bij een val in de Waalse Pijl.

Oekraïne wil in Azerbeidzjan met Rusland praten over vrede

BAKOE (ANP/RTR) - Oekraïne is klaar voor vredesbesprekingen met Rusland in Azerbeidzjan "als Moskou er ook klaar voor is". Dat heeft de Oekraïense president Volodymyr Zelensky gezegd in Azerbeidzjan, waar hij op bezoek is en onder meer een ontmoeting heeft met de president daar, Ilham Aliyev.

Zelensky en een Oekraïense delegatie bezoeken Azerbeidzjan, een bondgenoot in de regio, om de diplomatieke en handelsbetrekkingen te versterken. Ook zijn er gesprekken over verdere economische samenwerking en energieleveringen. Azerbeidzjan importeert bijvoorbeeld gas uit Oekraïne. Bovendien komen militaire zaken aan de orde en deelt Oekraïne zijn expertise op het terrein van luchtverdediging, aldus Zelensky.

De Oekraïense president sprak op X over "belangrijke onderhandelingen". Daarnaast benoemde hij het "wederzijds respect en samenwerking, die beide onze volkeren versterken".

Wilders en Europees radicaal-rechts dumpen Trump

Europese radicaal-rechtse partijen, waaronder de PVV van Geert Wilders, nemen steeds meer afstand van de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump. Wat aanvankelijk leek op een trans-Atlantisch bondgenootschap tussen radicaal-rechts blijkt nu uiteen te vallen door Trumps impopulaire beleid, met name de oorlog tegen Iran. De Italiaanse premier Giorgia Meloni, ooit zichzelf 'Trump-fluisteraar' noemend, noemde Trumps aanvallen op paus Leo XIV 'totaal onaanvaardbaar' – waarop Trump terugkaatste: "Ze is zelf onaanvaardbaar".

Politiek risico voor Europese populisten

Ook voor Wilders en de PVV is Trump inmiddels een politiek risico geworden. Uit een peiling van Ipsos I&O uit 2024 bleek dat zelfs een meerderheid van de PVV-kiezers liever op Kamala Harris zou hebben gestemd dan op Trump. Recenter onderzoek van het Hart van Nederland Panel toont dat 43 procent van de PVV-achterban tegen de Amerikaanse aanvallen op Iran is, tegenover 39 procent voor – een opvallend kritische houding.

De Hongaarse premier Viktor Orbán, jarenlang het bruggenhoofd van Trumps MAGA-beweging in Europa, verloor zijn herverkiezing mede door zijn nauwe banden met Washington. "De opzichtige vriendschap met de huidige Amerikaanse regering hing Orbán als een molensteen om de nek", twitterde AfD-Bondsdaglid Matthias Moosdorfer.

Importtarieven en Iran-oorlog als breukpunten

Trumps economische beleid raakt ook zijn Europese bondgenoten hard. Hij dreigde eind vorig jaar met een importheffing van 92 procent op Italiaanse pasta, terwijl zijn plannen voor Groenland zelfs Meloni en Marine Le Pen te ver gingen. Le Pen hekelde de 'ondoordachte' oorlog tegen Iran, die gewone Fransen veel geld kost aan de benzinepomp.

De radicaal-rechtse achterban staat van oudsher sceptisch tegenover buitenlandse militaire avonturen, zeker wanneer die de benzineprijzen opdrijven. Voor partijen die relatief veel kiezers met een laag inkomen trekken, is dit een gevoelige kwestie. AfD-leider Alice Weidel stelde zelfs dat Duitsland geen oorlogen zal voeren voor het Amerikaanse 'rijk'.

Waarom dit belangrijk is voor Nederland

Voor Nederland is deze ontwikkeling bijzonder relevant omdat de PVV deel uitmaakt van de huidige coalitie. Wilders stond altijd welwillend tegenover Trump, maar kan zich steeds moeilijker permitteren zijn achterban – die kritischer blijkt dan verwacht – voor het hoofd te stoten. De ideologische verwantschap tussen MAGA en Europees radicaal-rechts blijft bestaan, maar America First schaadt Europese belangen terwijl Trumps 'ordinaire stijl' in Europa nog minder gewaardeerd wordt dan in de VS zelf.

Pluralistic: Ada Palmer's "Inventing the Renaissance" (25 Apr 2026)


Today's links


The U Chicago Press cover for Ada Palmer's 'Inventing the Renaissance.'

Ada Palmer's "Inventing the Renaissance" (permalink)

Ada Palmer may just be the most bewilderingly talented person I know: a genius sf writer, incredible librettist and singer, wildly innovative educator, and a leading historian of the Renaissance, and last year, she published her magnum opus, Inventing the Renaissance, a stunning book about so much more than history:

https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/I/bo246135916.html

All of my friends seem to be writing their magnum opuses these days! When (modern) historian Rick Perlstein and I did an event last year for my Enshittification tour, he told me he'd just finished his 1,000 page (ish? I may be misremembering slightly) history of the American conservative movement. And I recently had dinner with China Mieville, who told me he'd just turned in the manuscript for a novel he'd been trying to figure out how to write all his life.

I can't wait to read these books! And I couldn't wait to read Inventing the Renaissance, and I would have been much quicker off the mark but for the exigencies of book tours and books due and so on – but I've been reading it for the past two months or so, and I think I've pitched it about a hundred times to strangers and friends as I savored it, because it's just that good.

Inventing the Renaissance isn't a work of history, it's a work of "historiography" – the study of how histories get written and rewritten. Palmer's point here isn't to make us merely understand the Renaissance – she wants us to understand how the idea of a Renaissance, a rebirth out of a "dark age" into a "golden age" – has been used, abused, created and demolished, for centuries and centuries, including during the centuries when the Renaissance was actually underway.

Palmer teaches Renaissance history at the University of Chicago, where she is legendary for a unique annual pedagogical exercise in which she leads her students through a weeks-long live-action role-playing game that re-enacts the election of the Medicis' Pope. Every student is given a detailed biography of their character's position, goals, proclivities and history, and for weeks, the students scheme, ally, betray and assassinate each other. At the climax, the students take over the university's faux-Gothic cathedral, dressed in Renaissance drag (Palmer has a Google alert for theater companies that are selling off their costumes, and her tiny office at the university overflows with racks of cardinals' robes and other period garb), and they invest a Pope:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/17/against-the-great-forces-of-history/

This exercise is nothing short of genius, and the students who experience it often report that it is life-changing. That's because the final candidates are never quite the same, nor are the cardinals who cast votes for the winner. And yet, there are certain bedrocks that never shift, including the fact that Italy is always invaded by some of the factions involved in the election, though which cities burn also changes.

The point of this exercise is to expose the students to the power and limits of both "great historical forces" and the human agency that every one of us has within the envelope defined by those forces. Palmer wants her students to get a bone-deep understanding that while every moment has great forces bearing down on it, that the people of each moment have an enormous amount of leeway to channel the floodwaters that history will unleash. From the servant who bears a message from one great power to another, up to those great powers themselves, each person guides the course of history, even if they can't halt some of its outcomes.

Though Palmer unpacks this exercise and its meaning and results in the final part of her magnum opus, this message about forces and people is really the key to her historiography. She develops these themes in the most charming, accessible manner imaginable, weaving her own journey into history with her accounts of how different eras consciously created and deployed the idea of "the Renaissance" and how these ideas were bolstered, undermined, or ultimately demolished by new evidence. You could not ask for a better account of why there is not, and can never be, a single, canonical "history" of an era or a moment. There will always be multiple histories, overlapping each other, warring with one another, supplanting each other, or being revived as "lost" histories that reveal a truth that "they" have buried.

This is such an ambitious book, and the ambition pays off in so many ways. Take the book's structure: there's a long middle section in which Palmer describes how more than a dozen figures from the Renaissance experienced their era, with many overlapping events and timelines. Palmer's sensitive, beautifully researched and written accounts of the lives of these figures – highborn and lowly, sinister and virtuous – highlights the contradictions of this centuries-long "moment" we call "the Renaissance" and shows us how those contradictions can't ever be resolved, only acknowledged and understood.

This is Palmer the novelist, blending seamlessly with Palmer the historian. Palmer is a close literary – and personal – ally of the equally brilliant sf/fantasy writer Jo Walton, whose work has mined classical and Renaissance history to great effect since she and Palmer struck up their friendship. First, there were Walton's "Philosopher Kings" books, a three-book long thought experiment in which every person of every era who ever dreamed of living in Plato's Republic is brought through time and space to the doomed volcanic island that will someday give rise to the story of Atlantis, to try out Plato's ideal society for real:

https://memex.craphound.com/2015/01/13/jo-waltons-the-just-city/

Then there was Lent, Walton's story of the fanatical reformer Savonarola, who is forced to re-live his life over and over, with breaks in hell where he is tormented by his failure:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190516170659/https://www.latimes.com/books/la-ca-jc-review-jo-walton-lent-20190516-story.html

And this June, she'll bring out Everybody's Perfect, a novel that uses Palmer's trick of telling a story from many viewpoint characters, each of whom perceives the events so differently that their versions can't really be reconciled, except by understanding that there is no one history and there cannot be one history. There are only the histories, ever changing. The omnipotent third person narrator is a lie. I don't know if Palmer got this idea from Walton, or if Walton was inspired by Palmer, but it is a wonderful living example of how intellectual and creative movements (like those that are attributed to the Renaissance) feed one another.

One of Palmer's areas of specialty is free speech and censorship. Along with Adrian Johns, we co-taught a grad seminar called "Censorship, Information Control, and Information Revolutions from Printing Press to Internet" that connected Ada's work to the current battles over online speech:

https://neubauercollegium.uchicago.edu/research/censorship-information-control-and-information-revolutions-from-printing-press-to-internet

Palmer wants us to understand that the majority of censorship is self-censorship – that the Inquisition could only intervene in a tiny minority of cases of prohibited thought and word, and they had to rely on key people – printers, for example – anticipating the Inquisitors' tastes and limiting their speech without an Inquisitorial edict (if this seems relevant to the Trump administration's "war on woke," then you're clearly paying attention):

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/22/self-censorship/#hugos

Those correspondences between the deep historical record and our current moment make Inventing the Renaissance extremely important and timely – a book hundreds of years in the making, and bang up to date.

California’s wildlife bridge became a target for the right. Now it’s eyeing the finish line

Unhindered by critics who called the $114m project ‘a bridge to nowhere’, a gigantic bridge allowing animals to cross a busy freeway is close to completion

Atop a gigantic wildlife bridge in California this week, butterflies filled the air. A red-tailed hawk sailed above as a slight breeze ruffled the 6,000 native plants, including poppies and purple sage. You’d never guess that below the quiet expanse of rocks and plants, a 10-lane freeway ferries 400,000 cars each day.

When the project broke ground four years ago, enthusiasm was high. The wildlife crossing in northern Los Angeles county would be the largest of its kind in the world, providing safe passage for mountain lions, bobcats and lizards.

Will I ever retire? It doesn’t look like it | Dave Schilling

Being financially equipped to retire feels like a fantasy. And yet plenty of people who could do so are avoiding it

“Retirement.” A word I can hardly spell anymore, it seems so abstract and impossible – like a science-fiction concept from a tattered old novel.
