Wow, what a heinous site. It serves with a paywall (“Subscribe to Pur”, whatever that may be) and a non-compliant consent dialog (it lacks the required Reject Everything, among other things).

Why is a Dutch project linked to a german site anyways?

The project name is DAWO (I peeked in the raw HTML to find that), so here’s some links that do work:

It doesn’t paywall me. Maybe it depends on the location or there’s freemium per IP block or you blocked ads or something. Anyway, it’s nice to me to read about it in English (even if it’s a German news site).

Oh, I appreciate German news sites. Half my Mastodon feed is in German. I just selected for the most informative (well sourced and linking many backgrounds) and authoritative (department of foreign affairs itself).

Also, I was complaining about the SITE, not the fact you linked it. Thank you for linking this topic here. I didn’t think it would harm to link more sources, especially the ones selected. Peace.
