EWagensveld stated that he was arrested on suspicion of illegal protesting in the empty Janskerkhof in Utrecht during an interview with PowNed. He said that he was only giving an interview and claimed that the Public Prosecution Service counted the interviewer and cameraman to make it a group protest. According to EWagensveld, the Public Prosecution Service demanded a fine of €250 and two weeks of conditional imprisonment, but the judge acquitted him. He wondered if there were double standards in the Netherlands, as police, mayors, and the Public Prosecution Service, according to him, often did not intervene in XR and pro-Palestinian demonstrations. He also criticized the Ministry of Justice and Security, which he claimed remained silent about abuse of power. #demonstratierecht #vrijheidvanmeningsuiting #justitie (translated)

Ann Van Haute wondered why the government, according to her, was increasingly interfering in the private lives of citizens, among other things with rules about heating, cars, food, renovations, and expenditures. She wrote that those who did not comply with these rules could face taxes or fines and compared the treatment of citizens to that of children needing supervision. Van Haute argued that the government could better focus on the budget, rising debts, and public spending. She criticized that there was, according to her, time to determine which heating boiler people were allowed to install. She suggested that citizens could turn the tables and tell government employees how they should do their jobs; according to her, the result could hardly be worse. #Vrijheid #Overheid #Privacy (translated)
