Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that, in his opinion, child protection could take a child out of the home based on a vague criterion regarding the threat to the child's development. He described that as concerning and stated that child protection refused to allow Members of Parliament to be present at discussions. According to him, the minister saw no problem with that. https://t.co/TsPIQpKl3d #jeugdbescherming #kinderen #maatschappij (translated)

Susanne wrote that her observation might cost her followers, but she found the FVD members of parliament to act more constructively in debates than those of DENK. She based that judgment on her long-term observation of debates and said it was separate from her views on the positions of both parties. According to her, FVD wanted to get rid of the cabinet as quickly as possible, while DENK could live with it. #MijnMening #TweedeKamer #Debat #Politiek #Observatie (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)

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)

Sander Sassen wrote that Mayor Femke Halsema was reportedly irritated because it had become clear that she had not intervened during pro-Hamas demonstrations. He stated that she did not need to fear for her position, as left-wing MPs fully supported her. https://t.co/9hyrrkU9jY #FemkeHalsema #politiek #demonstraties (translated)

Caroline van der Plas wrote that Femke was right: in a roll-call vote, each Member of Parliament could provide their own explanation for their vote for or against, while a statement was made on behalf of the party during a party-line vote. #politiek #stemmen #Kamerleden (translated)

Femke Marije wrote that she found it strange that some considered her separate statement remarkable. She pointed out that according to the Constitution, members of Parliament vote without instructions and that voting by name should make individual votes visible. According to her, a statement therefore did not automatically apply to the entire parliamentary group. #stemverklaring #Kamerleden #politiek (translated)

The debate about raising the rainbow flag on Coming Out Day in the House of Representatives leads to division among Members of Parliament regarding the importance of the flag versus the neutrality of the parliamentary building. #Regenboogvlag #ComingOutDay #Homoacceptatie (translated)

Marcel Crok suspected that Tijs was referring to him with the term 'climate deniers' because he claimed to be about the only dissenting voice during an external expert day in March 2025. He called the term derogatory and pointed out that CDA leader Henri Bontenbal had also used it regularly, according to him. Crok invited Tijs to a lecture by Clintel given by Roger Pielke Jr. the following Sunday in Driebergen. He referred to an article by Pielke about a campaign against climate scientists with dissenting views. According to Crok, Australian activists, including a cartoonist, with the support of influential American climate scientists, created blacklists. Among those listed were Pielke, his father, and Judith Curry, according to him. Crok wrote that their academic careers were thereby hindered and called the issue concerning for Members of Parliament. Regarding his own participation in the Citizen's Assembly, Crok stated that the selection of citizens went well and that his discussions with KNMI director Maarten van Aalst were respectful. However, in hindsight, he claimed that the organization published an incorrect fact-check. He said he should have filed a forty-page complaint before he received any response. Crok argued that the debate about climate, just like the debate about corona which Tijs had previously struggled with as a journalist, was, in his view, being stifled. He spoke of a suffocating atmosphere in the academic world and wrote that no journalist had signed up to attend Pielke's lecture. #klimaat #wetenschap #discussie (translated)

Flick asked why Kati Piri had chosen this moment to submit a proposal regarding the rainbow flag. He called it a power play and stated that Piri knew many members of parliament would not show up, which, according to him, would allow her to achieve a "disgusting majority." The shared message stated that members of parliament had to return for the vote and that the SGP wanted each member to vote personally. https://t.co/7itRUs29vQ #politiek #Kamerleden #democratie (translated)

Hidde Heutink wrote that the budget was not yet finalized, bridges were collapsing, and the price of gasoline was rising sharply, while 150 members of parliament, according to him, gathered to vote on a flag. He said he was in The Hague to solve problems and refused, as he claimed, to participate in what he called "silly games." #politiek #DenHaag #problemenoplossen (translated)

Members of Parliament must return to The Hague on Thursday evening to vote on a proposal to raise the rainbow flag at the parliamentary building during Coming Out Day, a proposal submitted by PRO-MP Kati Piri that has met with resistance from some political parties. #ErkenningLHBTQ #Regenboogvlag #KomtUitzondering (translated)

Caroline van der Plas wrote that she was almost home, but still had to drive 150 kilometers back to DH and then 150 kilometers to Deventer. According to her, dozens of Members of Parliament traveled thousands of kilometers that evening for one motion that she believed was not within the order of the debate. #politiek #Nederland #reizen (translated)

Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that on that day there were harsh words in the Volkskrant about Prime Minister Jetten. He stated that Jetten had provided demonstrably incorrect information to the House in response to his parliamentary questions. Van Houwelingen referred to descriptions such as "with his fingers in the door" and negligent, as well as the qualification that Jetten was very stupid. https://t.co/Jc9bGgjUjI #Politiek #Kamerleden #Jetten (translated)

Pepijn van Houwelingen referred to the new intelligence law as an erosion of the rule of law and stated that intelligence services became more distant from society as a result. He wrote that the dragnet was becoming larger, that services could hack without permission, and that journalists, lawyers, and members of parliament could also be secretly monitored. https://t.co/c9ZiBuakfD #rechtsstaat #privacy #vrijheid (translated)
