The author stated that the Dutch population had grown from just over 1.1 million since early 2016 to approximately 18.1 million. According to the author, around 173,000 people had died and 167,000 babies had been born in 2025, resulting in negative natural growth and the total growth coming entirely from migration. The author referred to Jan Latten, who estimated the group of Dutch origin at about 12.9 million, and wrote that this group was expected to shrink by 1 to 2 million over the coming decades. By 2050, according to the author, the Netherlands would have about 20 million inhabitants. The author argued that the changing population composition put pressure on social and cultural relations, social cohesion, the welfare state, and the housing market. It was written that rapid changes complicated integration and increased parallel societies and clashing norms and values. According to the author, politicians focused too much on symptom treatment and paid too little attention to population growth due to migration and low birth rates among the indigenous population. The author praised Latten for his expertise and warned that politics, media, and society needed to take demographic changes seriously. https://t.co/wVfulQlN6k #demografie #migratie #socialecohesie (translated)
Isa Yusibov wrote that October 17, 2003, was a day of conflicting feelings for him: he wished it had never happened, but he was also proud of it. He was 14 years old at the time and said his family had considered him an adult since then. The day after the presidential elections in Azerbaijan, in which his father played an important role according to him, Yusibov claimed to be one of the first victims of the repression against the pro-Western opposition. He wrote that he was beaten, humiliated, and spat on in front of about 300 to 400 students. Afterwards, he received his school file and was informed that he was no longer welcome because his father was considered a state enemy. Yusibov said that on his way to the exit, he made eye contact with teachers who had treated him kindly before the elections. Several teachers reportedly gestured for him to leave quickly. He wrote that the experience made him proud of his father and convinced him that the dictatorship would continue. A month later, his family reportedly fled to the Netherlands. The event compelled him to focus on geopolitics. Yusibov argued that the power transition surrounding Aliyev was a consensus among the West, Putin, Erdogan, and Iran. According to him, the West, led by Bush, had betrayed the democrats in Azerbaijan in favor of authoritarian stability. He also wrote that great power interests dictated politics in the Caucasus and that this situation had not changed 23 years later. Yusibov stated that his experiences had taught him how difficult it was to stand up for democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. He wrote that he had seen the first signs of undermining democratic principles in the Netherlands as well, by parties that he believed targeted democracy. He referred to a previous interview with NRC and said he would not allow the Netherlands to become a country where the government disregarded fundamental rights. #Democratie #Mensenrechten #Geopolitiek (translated)

Lucia-pulla wrote that one of the most absurd cases in the discussion related to immigration and multiculturalism was that prisoners were served mousse for dessert, the gelatin of which, according to her, they were unaware of. She mentioned that gelatin was a problem because it is made from pig parts and eating pork is haram. She described an example of a foreign prisoner convicted of serious crimes who would be offered dessert and then apologized to for its contradiction with his religious beliefs. Lucia-pulla asked how self-destructive the country could become. #suicidalempathy #maahanmuutto #monikulttuurisuus #uskonto (translated)
