Mick van Wely wrote that his Dutch grandfather worked as an optician for the resistance in Leiden and took photos for forged documents. According to him, his father grew up with a strong aversion to Germans. When, as a five-year-old, he received an apple from a German soldier, he thanked him with a curse word for Germans, Van Wely said. His Hungarian mother, he said, grew up under communism, which he described as just as bad as fascism. Van Wely wrote that he had been raised at home with love for and respect for freedom. This, he said, explained why he sometimes reacted angrily when he saw that the carefully built Western lead and achievements, which had long been taken for granted, were coming under heavy pressure and were slowly being rolled back. #vrijheid #geschiedenis #verzet (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the Minister of Budget had openly stated that he had wasted people's money for years without any consequences. He claimed that the deficits in the past five years had been greater than during the pandemic and that the deficit for the coming year would still amount to 1 billion euros. He also pointed to a subordinated loan, the interest costs of which he claimed alone amounted to 1 billion euros. Vande Reyde further wrote that there were no concrete plans to downsize the state apparatus. According to him, politicians who opposed a new tax increase were labeled as the wrongdoers and as "irresponsible." #begroting #tekort #politiek (translated)

Isa Yusibov wrote that he had shared the photo of Vasyl Shtefko earlier, when Dutch experts claimed in March 2022 that Zelenskiy needed to cede territory for peace. Shtefko lost both his legs in 2004 and registered to defend Ukraine after the Russian invasion, according to Yusibov. He criticized the Dutch peace movement for claiming from a safe position that resistance is pointless and that Ukraine should make peace with Russia. Yusibov wrote that Shtefko stood more morally firm than those who presented capitulation as pacifism. According to him, the peace movement advocated not for peace, but for surrender to Putin, paid for with other people's land, freedom, and lives, in the naïve hope that this would make the world safer. #Oekraïne #Vrede #Verzet (translated)
