I got 4th most personal votes among the candidates from my party who got three seats meaning that I was first in line if something were to happen. Now on monday I will get my chance as one of the three members of the council is taking a parental leave for the rest of the year! It's just three months but I'm extremely exited about it even though it will take a huge chunk of my spare time! Big congratulation with getting the opportunity to be part of the city council in Aarhus. I wish you all the best with your new position. Thank you for being an active, democratic citizen of our society. Agger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,128 Posted September 22, 2022 #9026 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) The last of the "Pol Pots" has been sentenced to life imprisonment. He is 91 now and dependent on wheelchair. He was the 5th and the last to be tried for genocide in Cambodia in the late 70s during the Pol Pot crazy "experiment" to turn the country on "agricultural paradise" This was the last judgment of this special tribunal of the Red Khmers and their madness Edited September 22, 2022 by hckošice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, Marxists get angry whenever anyone points this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the question remains the same as that famous Honnecker quote in the dying years of the . Where did the comrades make a mistake ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super interesting, Fall of Civilizations podcast has a very nice episode about it and I'm sure others do as well. hckošice 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
