Maarten van den Berg wrote that the share of households unable to heat their homes properly had increased, according to him, from 3% in 2020 to almost one in ten in 2024. He stated that the gas price had risen again and referred to a warm home as a basic right. According to him, cold and damp could cause mold, lung complaints, and heart problems, leading to healthcare costs. Van den Berg also noted that the tax component of the gas price was nowhere in the EU as high as in the Netherlands, where it accounted for more than half, according to him. From January 1, 2028, the EU levy ETS-2 would be added, he wrote. He wondered if people in the Netherlands would also take to the streets, like in France. #energietarieven #klimaat #sociaalrecht (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde called it incomprehensible that left-wing parties, including Anders chairman Frederic De Gucht, were advocating for the abolition of the headscarf ban in schools. He referred to the struggle for the separation of church and state and asked whether proponents would also allow a teacher to wear a T-shirt of Schild en Vrienden in front of the class. According to him, the argument that everyone should be able to be themselves seemed to apply less in that case. #onderwijs #vrijheid #sociaaldebatt (translated)
