Mona Keijzer wrote that Wim from Eibergen, who was 80 years old, could not find a permanent home and was also at risk of losing his holiday home. According to her, the cabinet scrapped the plan that was supposed to provide residents of holiday parks with security and discontinued household assistance and support. Keijzer argued that this could and should be done differently. https://t.co/4KLKFZ0qgv #Woningnood #Zorg #Ouderen (translated)

Simone Juffermans wrote that the situation would no longer improve. She compared the advice that HuGO gave in 2023 — "Have you thought of a wealthy friend?" — with a statement from 2026 by Mrs. Douchemunt, who according to Juffermans said that starters could live with their parents. She also wrote that Paternotte first wanted a good alternative so that status holders would not all end up on the street. #sociaal #woningnood #ouderen (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote that Minister Mirjam Sterk started talking about reforms herself in Café Kockelmann, but according to Agema, she did not receive any questions about the extent of the cuts to elderly care. She referred to these as not being reforms and stated that the plans included, among other things, an increase in the personal deductible to 400 euros, a personal contribution for home care, and the elimination of household help with a safety net. She also mentioned the cessation of funding for 6,000 nursing home places and the cancellation of the return of care homes, while according to her it had been shown that these were the most suitable for 20,000 vulnerable elderly people. Agema criticized the broadcast and addressed Mats Akkerman at the end. #ouderenzorg #bezuinigingen #hervormingen (translated)

Pepijn van Houwelingen wrote that a majority of the House of Representatives, according to him, did not want to rule out that young people would be imprisoned in the future if they did not fill out the Defense survey. According to him, in addition to the coalition parties, the elderly party, CU, SGP, and JA21 had no objections to that either. https://t.co/qqDlTtO73n #Defensie #Jongeren #Politiek (translated)

Wim den Oudsten asked why the government, in his opinion, spent millions annually on family reunification for foreigners who had contributed nothing to society, while Dutch elderly people who had often been together for more than 50 years could not always stay together when one of them needed extra care. He stated that those elderly people had contributed to the government their entire lives and said that the government should be deeply ashamed of that. #gezinshereniging #ouderen #maatschappij (translated)

Jolande wrote that coalition parties, according to her, wanted elderly people who needed domestic help to live independently at home to pay for that help themselves. Single AOW recipients with a small pension could thus be paying up to 184 euros extra per month. She argued that cuts in elderly care kept people at home and that they now also had to pay for domestic help themselves. She sharply criticized Jetten, Bontenbal, and the VVD. https://t.co/mN9Fl6gj5W #Ouderenzorg #HuishoudelijkeHulp #AOW (translated)

Fleur Agema called on the elderly and chronically ill to take a seat in the public gallery of the House of Representatives next week during the budget debate of VWS. She wrote that, in her opinion, no one was standing up for them anymore and described the cuts as downright anti-social. She also stated that people who become ill would therefore lose hundreds of euros extra. Agema referred to an explanatory video. https://t.co/vFpjCthHKi #Ouderen #Gezondheidszorg #Bezuinigingen (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote on Elder's Day that she was ashamed of the way the minority cabinet was handling the elderly, according to her. She stated that there were cuts in nursing homes and domestic help, and that people who needed home care after an operation had to pay a personal contribution. Agema wondered if the elderly were affected because they were not feared or would not come en masse to the Malieveld, and asked if FNV was letting them down. She called on the elderly to take a seat in the public gallery of the House of Representatives from October 12 to 15 during the budget debate of VWS. https://t.co/2IDWoPtP1Q #Ouderenzorg #TweedeKamer #FNV (translated)

I am FURIOUS. Mother-in-law (82, lives in Woudrichem) had a clogged sink. Called a plumber, who unclogged it and made her withdraw 5000 EURO on the spot. How awful to scam an elderly woman like that. Anyone have tips on how I can trace that jerk with an 085 number? #oplichting #schoonmoeder #ouderenzorg (translated)

Typerend. This is the director of Avansa VZW. His organization, linked to the Catholic union, receives 13.6 million euros in subsidies each year. What do they do with it? Organize forest walks. With a left-activist approach. And as he aptly explains here: "doing things for people". Like "writing a book about the elderly" and then "touring schools with it and making a theater presentation". The man risks losing a maximum of 5% of subsidies with this government agreement. That means: instead of 13.6 million euros, he will now receive "only" 13 million euros per year (it is likely to be around 13.4 million in reality). According to the public broadcaster, this is "cold, bleak" almost inhumane. Those not invited to discuss this: working dual-income earners who struggle to save a little money. They will continue to pay the 13.4 million euros to Avansa. In this country, you are already seen as cold and bleak when you question that. Abolish the entire subsidy pot of 80 million euros. If there are a few organizations that could use some support, that can perfectly be done through a regular subsidy. #subsidies #maatschappij #vakbond (translated)
