Roaldcs wrote that the number of civil servants in the federal government had increased by over 40% in twelve years, from approximately 109,000 to 160,000 full-time jobs, and that the federal government also spent billions annually on external consultants. In response to NRC's question about why it was not possible to reduce the size of the government, he stated that the growth stemmed from incentives within the political and administrative system. According to Roaldcs, ministers with larger budgets and more staff could increase their influence, while officials who solved problems might render their own positions redundant. He also wrote that politicians were primarily judged on promises, and that new laws, subsidies, and organizations subsequently required additional implementation staff. If the execution stalled, he claimed that was used as a reason to hire more civil servants. Roaldcs advocated for eliminating government tasks, policy areas, ministries, subsidies, permits, and regulations. He believed that citizens, entrepreneurs, and social organizations should be able to arrange more for themselves and suggested that the power of the government should be radically limited. #Overheid #Bureaucratie #Politiek (translated)

Éric Di Meco judged that Digne was on the decline after a great career, said he was surprised by his return to PSG, and wondered if he had dropped to third place in the hierarchy. Christophe Dugarry, for his part, considered it too early to talk about failure and wanted to wait a few more weeks, believing that the situation could evolve. #PSG #FCBarcelona #Football (translated)

I don't know who to talk to, so I don't talk to anyone. While in the years 2018-2019, the yellow vests were very reluctant to the emergence of leader figures, "little by little, we avoid the problem that occurred in 2018, that is to say that Macron refused to meet with the yellow vests by saying (...) 'I don't know who to talk to, so I don't talk to anyone,'" emphasizes Benjamin Ball, while describing a movement "organic, in progress," that makes decisions by consulting its various components. #GiletsJaunes #Manifestations #ConvergenceDesLuttes (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt stated in his column that the government should first cut its own spending before asking citizens to be frugal. He cited the renovation of the Binnenhof as an example: it was estimated in 2015 to cost 475 million euros, but according to him, the costs had risen to at least 2.7 billion euros by 2026. He wrote that the Court of Audit had called the original estimate unrealistically low. Von Kreyfelt urged ministries to demonstrate what their expenditures yielded. He mentioned European contributions, nitrogen policy, climate programs, migration, and development aid, and asked what problem was being solved, at what cost, and when funding would stop. He also suggested that it should first be demonstrated at 2.5 percent of GDP what Defense could purchase, organize, and staff. According to him, the NATO agreement for 2035 required 5 percent: at least 3.5 percent for defense and a maximum of 1.5 percent for broader security. He wrote that Donald Trump had requested 5 percent. The columnist also criticized the use of consultants and administrative layers. According to him, budget deficits could arise from overly ambitious promises, poor estimates, and too few cuts, and these did not prove that citizens were paying too little. He concluded that the government needed to shrink first. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #Overheid #Financiën #Soberheid (translated)
