Absurd statement from Hertzberger suggesting that the organizers of the #rodelijn-demo have the end of Israel in mind. He points to the ceasefire in Gaza. As if that is the end of it! The killing and starving of Gazans continues. Including the taking of land there and in the West Bank. (translated)

Strong and clearly articulated stance by Job Cohen. He is honest and candid in his views on genocide, Israel, and the Israeli government. In a time full of polarization and us-versus-them, people like #Cohen are sorely needed to build bridges while also drawing clear boundaries. (translated)

Clear analysis from Rosenmöller supporting the line of Bontenbal (casino politics). The VVD is now blocking 0.3% of the budget (PRO amendment). The VVD places party interest above national interest. Extreme right forces are lurking to jump into the gap created by the broad middle if no resolution is found. (translated)

Now that the deadline for the Tax Plan is approaching and there is still no agreement with the opposition, good political craftsmanship is essential. I note that PRO has a gem in Jesse #Klaver. Klaver is well-experienced as a member of the House of Representatives, and in the short piece I am seeing now, that pays off directly. (translated)

#Jetten has really fallen through the cracks. He hasn't sought majorities, or it must be that he silently sees Markuszower😡in his camp. But then there's the EK. #Klaver is absolutely right to point out that the cabinet is now betting on support. You don't gamble with the governance of the country. #eenvandaag #eenvandaag (translated)

I see a frustrated #Bontenbal. Too late! He should have played it high against the VVD. Together with D66. But that didn't happen. The power party VVD prevented them from doing that. Apparently, providing comfort to the VVD took precedence over the will to put pressure on them. Well, then you've messed it up yourself. (translated)

When Faber was dismissed by the RvState, you thought; see, those populists can do nothing! But now #Eerenberg and Heinen are also being accused of shoddy work, that is truly alarming: the concrete rot is also in the broad centrist parties (as far as the VVD is still that). (translated)

This cringeworthy and time-consuming nonsense is not only due to the power play of the ruling party VVD but also because D66 and CDA are too cowardly to confront the VVD head-on. No deal with the opposition on the tax plan, Wednesday debate in the House of Representatives - nos.nl/l/2637476 (translated)

And then to think that the chairman of Bouwend NL, Arno Visser, is a member of the VVD. Hopefully, this convinces his party not to choose the hopeless route to the right. Eerdmans, Stoffer, and Vermeer are overplaying their hand. The fact that the VVD does not want to choose Pro and Volt is stupid stubbornness. (translated)

Yes, of course! #PauwendeWit is providing a stage tonight for those far-right rascals who have formed a monstrous alliance. With completely unrealistic demands and with a SGP that wants to go back to the '50s. So @BNNVARA is going along with this. @pauwendewit.bsky.social you should be ashamed of yourselves. (translated)

What would we do without Natascha van Weezel? She doesn't hold back her words. Every critical word hits hard regarding Israel and #Netanyahu. It greatly surprises me that the corrupt Netanyahu still has so much support. He lies about everything, despite the Naza documentary, and refuses an investigation into 07.10.23. (translated)

In her plea for law violations towards Halsema, populist Caroline vd Plas also turns a blind eye to dairy farmers who break the law. It's unprecedented that she attacks PRO for talking about fraud instead of pointing out farmers' responsibilities. Van Essen also rejects law violations. (translated)

I completely agree with Ron Fresen, who criticizes Eric van der Burg for his statement that 25,000 civil servants need to be cut "because he needs to achieve the €3.5 billion savings." Fresen says that you should start with the question of what kind of government you have in mind. A service-oriented government is relevant. #Eva #Eva (translated)

Wouter de Winther again had VVD duties at #Eva opposite Jesse Klaver. It is the opposite of reality to protect the VVD in the current administrative crisis regarding the budget and tax plan. And suggesting that Pro will only agree if €8 billion in income tax is off the table is a lie in compromise land. (translated)

While Russia continues to bombard Ukraine with drones and rockets (thus killing people!), Trump says that Russia is behaving properly towards Ukraine. It is outrageous that he dares to tell blatant lies for his own (financial) gain and thereby leaves the Ukrainians and Zelensky out in the cold. #nosjournaal #nosjournaal (translated)

The ironclad performance of Halsema again shows what kind of meat we have in the extreme right camp of the TK. While the TK is neglecting to create a law that provides Halsema with a tool to intervene, populism, misinformation, and a campaign against Halsema prevail. #PauwendeWit #PauwendeWit (translated)

Chic but clear response from Halsema about the pro-Hamas demonstration on October 7th. It is clear that she had to explain to Van Weel how the law works and convinced him. Halsema wanted to intervene but was not allowed to. The House of Representatives spread misinformation and Halsema was the scapegoat. #PauwendeWit #PauwendeWit (translated)
