Susanne wrote that NU.nl proposed Laura Faber as an ordinary citizen in an article about people taking in status holders, without mentioning her work in the reception and integration of newcomers, according to her. Susanne called Faber the director of Bureau de Werkvloer, a teacher at PONT | Zorg & Sociaal, project leader for the Development of Municipal Reception at the municipality of Hengelo, and founder of the integration school and language school Iedereen aan Boord in Deventer. According to Susanne, Faber's income came 100% from projects and assignments that were directly related to refugee reception and the integration of newcomers and status holders. Susanne called the portrayal misleading and wrote that she had submitted a community note. According to her, it was ready for review and would only become visible to everyone after enough reviews. She thanked Hilda Spruit for her response under the article and provided two sources. https://t.co/htqtVhSm1c https://t.co/4GI1TXQwZR #journalistiek #vluchtelingen #integratie (translated)

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)

Julien De Wit wrote that a colleague had posted his testimony on LinkedIn and that he found it worth sharing. The self-employed individual mentioned that he had received chemotherapy with Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide three years earlier, followed by radiotherapy. A month after his last radiation treatment, he had returned to work, although his supervising doctor thought it was too soon according to him. He had quickly reduced his replacement income of about 40 euros per day. The colleague wrote that he worked as a self-employed individual without staff through a company and had no fixed salary, paid sick leave, or vacation pay. If he was sick or took a holiday, he earned nothing. With a full schedule ahead, he was afraid of getting sick this month, he wrote. He opposed what he considered to be negative perceptions of self-employed individuals with a management company and called for respect for the risks they themselves bore. https://t.co/JNrZ60Kq3n #zelfstandigen #ondernemen #respect (translated)
