Maaike van Charante wrote that the woman would certainly get away with it, according to her. She doubted the explanation that the woman did not know that the flags had been placed in memory of October 7 and that only one flag had fallen. Van Charante added that the woman was leftist, Palestinian, and anti-Israeli, and thus, according to her, met the right criteria. https://t.co/FuAO2pTQxd #Politiek #Discussie #Mening (translated)

Alice van Drie called it unjust that the cabinet had excluded FDF and Agractie from the nitrogen discussions after the farmers' protest in Amersfoort. She wrote that the organizations had not organized the protest and suspected that the cabinet was looking for a pretext to keep them off the table. According to Van Drie, all farmers would suffer as a result of this government. #fail66 #boerenprotest https://t.co/a97OIFIqKp #boerenprotest #stikstof #politiek (translated)

Max von Kreyfelt criticized Cora van Nieuwenhuizen's transition from the ministry to Energy-Nederland. He wrote that Van Nieuwenhuizen was appointed as chair of the industry association on August 31, 2021, and that same day she resigned as a minister. She started working for the organization on October 1. According to Von Kreyfelt, Van Nieuwenhuizen had already informed Prime Minister Mark Rutte on July 23 that she would be nominated, but she remained a minister until the end of August. He wrote that Rutte later acknowledged that government officials had access to cabinet documents and could possibly gain information about the area of their future positions. On August 26, Rutte concluded, according to Von Kreyfelt, that the appointment did not go well with the ministry. Arrangements were made to transfer files that could affect her new position to a colleague if necessary. Von Kreyfelt also reported that Energy-Nederland praised her managerial experience in the Netherlands and Europe. He stated that the transition raised questions about the closeness of public positions and private interests, but wrote that the matter in itself did not prove corruption. He advocated for independent assessment of subsequent positions, more transparency regarding contacts, and a mandatory waiting period before former government officials began working in a sector organization. According to him, public experience should not automatically grant access to private influence. https://t.co/V2P6pFuNy1 #Energie #Overheid #Transitie (translated)

From pogo to popo, he wrote about the Netherlands-Serbia match that Fanatics Dutch at least made an effort, among other things by spending dozens of hours painting a banner. He thought that the repeated singing of "we are orange" could be too much, but said that spectators could better sing along than look around in surprise. He hoped that the KNVB would offer standing places at these kinds of matches for twenty euros, so that more football supporters would visit those sections and a stronger football atmosphere would arise. He also wrote that supporters would then be able to collect enough points to cross the North Sea in two years. #oranje #dutchtanatics #gewoonzelfjebekopendoen #oranje #voetbal #supporters (translated)

Ir. Wouter de Heij described Vincent Kar's story about the impact of more and heavier cars, discussed on WNL Today, as nonsense. According to De Heij, the cause lay more in a shortage of good engineers and an excess of managers at RWS, along with decades of insufficient funds for investments and maintenance. He wrote that this was the result of prolonged 'half-management', where political scientists and lawyers formed the bureaucratic top. De Heij also stated that Marcel Levie was right and that the minister was engaging in issue management. #autos #infrastructuur #belasting (translated)

Chris Klomp wrote that he had sent Robert Moszkowicz an email with a deadline of October 5 at 1:00 PM. According to Klomp, the reason was that Moszkowicz had made his summons public by informing Fleurspolitiek, which called Klomp a conspiracy thinker and suspect. Klomp stated that he outlined in a document of more than 4,000 words, with evidence and arguments, why he believed his characterizations of Moszkowicz were defensible and fell under his right to free speech. He added that he would publish the piece on his website shortly after 1:00 PM on October 5, regardless of whether Moszkowicz responded. Klomp said he would not be intimidated or silenced and invoked the public interest and the defense of his human rights. https://t.co/oxIqMJUCsv #VrijeMeningsuiting #Persvrijheid #Reputatie (translated)
