"It is about your own family, your own people. You are the first king to dare to present yourself in such a vulnerable way." It is rightly noted by former MP Kathleen Ferrier on Friday during the presentation of the results that a prime minister or mayors (or a corporate top) asking for research into a loaded part of history do so as "successors of random predecessors." #kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #geschiedenis (translated)

Not only King Willem-Alexander must be aware of the Dutch colonial past, but the citizens of the Netherlands must also recognize their history and take responsibility. #kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #geschiedenis (translated)

NRC 5d

Historian Gert Oostindie explains in an interview how the research into the colonial past of the Oranjes shows that King William I actively supported slavery and that no policy documents have been found advocating for its abolition, despite the abolition of slavery in the United Kingdom. #kolonialegeschiedenis #OranjeNassau #slavernij (translated)

‘Toen het VK de slavernij afschafte, had koning Willem I de mogelijkheid om te zeggen: dat moeten wij ook doen. Hij overwoog het geen seconde’
NOS 5d

King Willem-Alexander calls the results of the research into the role of the House of Orange-Nassau in the colonial past of the Netherlands distressing and confronting, and emphasizes the necessity of recognition in order to move forward. #OranjeNassau #kolonialisme #geschiedenis (translated)

Koning: resultaten onderzoek Oranjes schrijnend en confronterend
NRC 5d

The House of Orange-Nassau had a strong belief in the legitimacy of colonies and slavery, but still played a 'somewhat insignificant' role in the colonial policy of the Netherlands, with limited financial gains from transatlantic slavery. #OranjeNassau #slavernij #kolonialisme (translated)

Oranje-Nassaus waren overtuigd van nut en legitimiteit van koloniën en slavernij, maar ‘weinig bepalend’ voor het beleid
Mark Rutte 5d

After Prime Minister Mark Rutte apologized at the end of 2022 for the history of slavery, Willem-Alexander personally made 'this apology' on July 1, 2023, during Keti Koti. #Kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #Slavernij (translated)

"The governors and King William I showed no objections to the trade in enslaved people or slavery. William II and William III thought differently about it, but did not support its abolition." "All governors, kings, and queens up to and including Wilhelmina (reign 1890-1948) deemed colonial warfare 'inevitable and justified,' writes Oostindie." #Kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #Slavernij (translated)
