Michael van der Galien wrote that a household that burned about 1,000 cubic meters of gas annually would spend about 500 euros extra this winter. According to him, Minister Stientje van Veldhoven (D66) had lowered the filling target for gas storage from 74 to 64 percent at the request of Brussels. According to Van der Galien, the storage level was at just over 62 percent and would be empty around February 10 if a winter like that of 2024 occurred. He added that there was still about 550 billion cubic meters of gas beneath Groningen, while the field remained closed.

Van der Galien described the policy as a risk for the heating of households. https://t.co/NcofsYy1Dr #gasprijs #energiecrisis #verwarming (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt proposed a compulsory integration course for D66 in his column. According to him, the party spoke excellent Dutch, but still needed to learn how to deal with people who have different beliefs. He referred to Jan Paternotte, who mentioned the Renaissanceschool associated with Forum for Democracy in the Chamber and asked for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had advocated for a swift evaluation and possible legislative changes. The proposed course would, according to Von Kreyfelt, include lessons on civil rights, freedom of education, diversity, democracy, and equal rights. He wrote that citizens should be allowed to think independently and vote for other parties, and that a political background in itself was not an offense. Regarding Jetten's statements on October 9 about taking stronger action against certain schools and online channels where, in his view, young people were learning incorrect ideas about equal rights, Von Kreyfelt noted that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool. As an exam task, Von Kreyfelt described a parent who wanted to pass on different beliefs to their child than D66. According to him, a student would succeed with an answer that did not involve inspection, improvement processes, or legislative changes. He concluded that D66 needed to learn that a free society also existed without its permission. #Inburgering #Diversiteit #Democratie (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt wrote that D66, in his opinion, put pressure on the Renaissanceschool, which is linked to Forum voor Democratie. He pointed out that D66 MP Jan Paternotte had mentioned the school in the House of Representatives because of announced separate curricula for boys and girls, and had called for stricter rules for new schools. According to Von Kreyfelt, Rob Jetten had urged for a quick evaluation and possible amendments to the law. Von Kreyfelt also wrote that Jetten had announced on October 9 that he would investigate how to take tougher action against schools, weekend schools, and online channels where, according to Jetten, young people were learning incorrect views about equal rights. The columnist emphasized that Jetten had not mentioned the Renaissanceschool in this context. He argued that the education inspectorate should investigate what was actually happening at the school and that a political background alone was not evidence of violations. According to him, Paternotte had stated that Article 23 remained intact. Von Kreyfelt wondered whether Jetten wanted to address verifiable violations or tighten general rules because a political competitor was taking advantage of them. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #onderwijs #vrijheid #D66 (translated)
