Erik de Vlieger wrote that he had told Alexander Pechtold six years earlier at NPO Radio 1 that he had to do this himself, because in his opinion it was not suitable for the inexperienced people of D66. He also referred to De Dagelijkse Standaard in February 2025. https://t.co/YIyGzGDwHE #politiek #D66 #radio (translated)

"that term is very appropriate" Days later, Prime Minister Jetten enthusiastically embraced her text - "that term is very appropriate". This summer, Yesilgöz, Prime Minister Rob Jetten (D66), and CDA leader Henri Bontenbal expressed it out loud to each other in a conversation: it cannot be that we let this cabinet fall during these politically tumultuous times? #VVD #DilanYesilgöz #politiek (translated)

Susanne wrote that the performance of D66 member Heera Dijk had been mentioned in De Telegraaf, in an article titled 'Amateurism strikes in the House of Representatives'. According to Susanne, the clip had not been noticed by a journalist, but became known after she downloaded it and it was subsequently shared widely. According to her, it was recorded during the second round of a budget debate, at a late time when hardly anyone was watching. Susanne argued that the press had been too focused on protecting the current coalition. If the same had happened under the Schoof cabinet, talk shows would have covered it extensively, in her opinion. She wrote that the Jetten cabinet displayed even more amateurism, but that the established press failed to adequately cover this. Susanne called for another article about what she referred to as amateurism in parliamentary journalism. #Journalistiek #amateurisme #KabinetJetten #Journalistiek #amateurisme #TweedeKamer (translated)

New negotiations are underway in The Hague's politics for a possible agreement with right-wing parties, in which the leaders of JA21 and SGP, Joost Eerdmans and Henk Stoffer, introduce important wish list items such as asylum and abortion, while the coalition of D66, VVD, and CDA tries to find a majority for their budget and tax plans. #Erdmans #SGP #Asielbeleid (translated)

Harm Beertema stated that, in his opinion, it was much more serious than cabaret: successive cohorts of young people were systematically influenced in education by left-woke ideology, which he believed caused generations to be lost. He wrote that the right had neglected education, while the left understood that influence on education also meant influence on the future. Beertema said he saw this development even in the House of Representatives, where, according to him, members of parliament went along with left-woke views, even within the VVD. He wrote that this, in his opinion, explained why the VVD had become an ideological tail of D66. #Onderwijs #Woke #Politiek (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote that the budget debate of Health, Welfare, and Sport (VWS) in the House of Representatives was, in her view, terrible. She named the low point as Lisa Westerveld having taken the measure of Vicky Maeijer. Agema stated that the Schoof cabinet had invested a net of 3 billion euros in healthcare, while the Jetten cabinet wanted to cut 8 billion euros from the most vulnerable, according to her. She criticized PRO because the party would keep the option open to vote in favor of the VWS budget for 2027. According to Agema, that budget would, among other things, scrap the AZWA and HLO agreements and raise the deductible to 400 euros per year. She added that PRO expected most healthcare cuts from 2028 onwards, but that this also applied to social security, in her opinion. Agema called the contributions from factions supporting the cuts out of touch with reality. She wrote that the VVD requested attention for the staff shortage, while scrapping the AZWA and HLO agreements, according to her, would remove an agreed measure that would reduce the shortage by 100,000 in 2028. D66, in her view, wanted to reimburse slimming medication but would simultaneously scrap the AZWA agreement that included 20 million euros for that purpose. Agema also pointed out that 50PLUS wanted reimbursement for the shingles vaccine but might vote in favor of a budget that would scrap that agreement. PRO member of parliament Julian Bushoff, according to her, advocated for stronger fraud prevention, while PRO considered cuts that would remove 50 million euros for that approach. Agema thought that industry organizations were too quiet and wrote that the media approved of the situation. She expected that the ministers would present deteriorations as improvements and suggested that they would get away with it. #zorgbezuinigingen #TweedeKamer #VWS (translated)

Weird Duk wrote that members of Parliament from VVD, D66, and PRO had sharply warned against the Forum school, for which there were four applications. According to Duk, they feared that children would be politically influenced there. At the same time, undermining extremist ideologies were reportedly festering in schools and educational institutions. Duk described the situation as a cabaret. #Onderwijs #Extremisme #Politiek (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that, according to him, the European Commission also wanted the Netherlands to send asylum seekers back to Italy. He referred to that as a strong message to what he called D66 judges and argued that the Dutch judiciary was thus in direct opposition to the Commission. https://t.co/cdvtEHG1n6 #D66 #asielzoekers #EU (translated)

Mona Keijzer wrote that the cabinet had cut €1.1 billion from the budget for elderly care, including for modern nursing homes.

Keijzer asked D66 what was left for the elderly. https://t.co/OQNv5706as #ouderenzorg #politiek #zorgbeleid (translated)

Forum for Democracy stated that the quality of education and results had drastically deteriorated under D66.

Marianne Zwagerman wrote that according to multiple well-informed sources, it was mainly the CDA that exerted heavy pressure behind the scenes on Agriculture Minister Jaimi van Essen (D66). According to her, the Christian Democrats feared that farmers' organizations LTO and NAJK, the organization of young farmers, would leave the negotiating table if there were no fundamental adjustments. https://t.co/3SyXFlXTpu #landbouw #CDA #politiek (translated)

Klaas Wilting wrote that the woman, in his opinion, was completely disconnected from reality and wondered how she had become a minister. He stated that this was also true for other D66 members, who, according to him, did not know the ordinary world and mainly spread nonsense. #D66 #politiek #werkelijkheid (translated)
