28.12.2025 โ‡ข The Day Brigitte Bardot Died
โŒจMorning headlines were dominated by geopolitical positioning as President Zelensky coordinated with European leaders before his Florida summit with President Trump. Simultaneously, domestic reports focused on 'toxic' New Yearโ€™s Eve preparations following car arsons and the ongoing Floradorp unrest.
By mid-morning, editorial priority shifted abruptly to the death of Brigitte Bardot at age 91. Outlets across the spectrum pivoted to long-form retrospectives, navigating the tension between her status as a global cinema icon and her later life as a controversial activist with multiple hate-speech convictions. This remained the dominant domestic story until early afternoon, when reports of a mass stabbing in Suriname, resulting in ten deaths, briefly refocused international coverage.
The evening was defined by the Mar-a-Lago meeting. Editors highlighted the revelation that Trump spoke with Vladimir Putin immediately before receiving Zelensky, framing the encounter as a transition toward direct peace negotiations. In sports, media reported a verbal agreement for Jordi Cruijff to become Ajax's technical director.

Er waren maar weinig filmsterren zo mythisch-mystiek als zij. Brigitte Bardot had genoeg aan haar initialen. Maar met het verglijden van de jaren werd ze ook controversiรซler. Ze was eerst een sekssymbool, toen een feministisch icoon, en is tegenwoordig even vaak in het nieuws door haar anti-islamcommentaren en #MeToo-kritiek.
