Simone Juffermans wrote that the government had postponed the reopening of Lelystad Airport for over six years due to nitrogen problems and the vulnerable nature of the Veluwe. According to her, that same government had deemed military use by F-35s acceptable and decided to expand the airport by 40 hectares, bringing it to a total of 240 hectares. This would require four families and six businesses to relocate. Juffermans also wrote that there was still no nature permit and that Secretary of State Boswijk had said that this could not wait. She suggested that the government would adjust the nitrogen calculation method for this purpose. Boswijk reportedly acknowledged the consequences for the families and businesses involved, but according to Juffermans, he did not expect that more homes and businesses would disappear in the short term due to defense expansions. However, she stated that he could not rule that out. #Lelystad #stikstof #natuur (translated)

Jan B. Hommel wrote, referring to a report from NOS, that families and businesses had to leave near Lelystad airport due to the expansion of the defense sector. He stated that residents in the Netherlands had little legal protection according to him and that people like Derk Boswijk and the Ministry of Defense could take away their rights. Hommel noted that the airport, in his opinion, did not yet have an environmental permit, but that Boswijk had said that they could not wait for it. He wrote that citizens and companies sometimes could not wait for permits either, but that their interests, according to him, did not count. Hommel called the Netherlands a "banana kingdom," said that only cynicism remained, and wrote that it was time to leave the country. #Lelystad #Defensie #Rechten (translated)

Susanne wrote that, according to her, there was a taboo on discussing disadvantaged families who had many children and consequently needed financial support and care disproportionately often. She stated that this was increasing, in her view, due to migration from countries where large families were a strong cultural and social norm. Susanne said she did not know if anything could be done about it, but believed that the problem should be discussable; according to her, this apparently was not happening in politics. #BegrotingVWS #TweedeKamer #Zorg #Migratie #Gezin (translated)
