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)
