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)

Things are, therefore, at a "stalemate," as Netanyahu himself admitted in his interview on Wednesday on public television, in which he clearly expressed two concerns: the abstention among those who brought him back to power in 2022 (before the Hamas attack in October 2023 shattered his image of "Mr. Security") and Ofer Winter, a right-wing general with a penchant for independent verse. #EleccionesIsrael #Netanyahu #PolíticaIsraelí (translated)
