They also claimed, according to the author, that Moroccans were keeping the country running.

According to that person, a gradual change was taking place on the streets, causing Dutch people not to recognize their own streets, cities, and country anymore and to feel alienated from the Netherlands as it used to be. The author found that sad. #Utrecht #Nederland #Samenleving (translated)

He called the situation completely insane and stated that people who continued to defend the system while complaining about words that should not be said were lying and complicit in the deliberate destruction of the country. #Nederland #jeugd #wooncrisis (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that Vooruit wanted to significantly limit social media for young people because, according to the party, it was harmful and contained a lot of fake news. At the same time, the party would have, for the umpteenth time, set up accounts on TikTok and Instagram that pretended to be news accounts. Vande Reyde argued that they were managed by the party without this being mentioned, were targeted at young people, and were registered as news channels to circumvent advertising rules. He claimed that Vooruit was trying to reach a larger audience this way than with its own party accounts and pointed to brand manager Jordy. #socialmedia #fakenews #jongeren (translated)
