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)

In a sharp opinion piece, Shervin Nekuee argues that the current conservative politics in the Netherlands, through symbolic destruction and reactionary reflexes, undermines social cohesion and thereby dangerously neglects the inclusion of diverse lifestyles in society. #MaatschappelijkeCohesie #Diversiteit #Politiek (translated)

The cabinet has made tough choices and is investing 18 billion euros in the maintenance of infrastructure, which means that many ambitious traffic projects, including highway expansions, will not receive funding for the time being, and congestion in certain regions will not decrease. #infrastructuur #verkeer #onderhoud (translated)

Bryan Roy wrote that this was, according to him, how communism worked. He described Douwe Filz as reserved and neat, but called the others, including Renze, very stupid.

Chris Kramer wrote that activist Tom van ’t Einde reacted strongly when Douwe Filz nuanced the situation regarding the war in Ukraine. A defense guest reportedly said that during wartime, one should not look at things from two sides. Kramer referred to this as the level of the Dutch debate and talk shows, where, according to him, a table with a visibly irritated host reacted negatively when someone wanted to discuss multiple perspectives. He stated that the underlying message was to remain silent and follow the government. #Oorlog #Oekraïne #Debat (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the public broadcaster had, in his view, provided misleading coverage in recent weeks regarding alleged severe cuts at VRT. According to him, unions had been given uninterrupted radio and airtime, while VRT NWS had not provided objective context and had widely disseminated their message. He described this as a situation at the level of a banana republic. Vande Reyde stated that the funding for VRT had increased in recent years, with millions more for, among other things, combating fake news and pension costs, and that only limited cuts had been made. Furthermore, he argued that the broadcaster could have generated more revenue from digital advertising. During the previous budget discussions, new concessions had been made regarding this, allowing VRT to show millions more in digital advertising, he wrote. According to him, parliament had not been informed about those agreements. He claimed that VRT had negotiated directly at the government table and secured a lot, only to then loudly protest and strike. According to him, the news editorial team had adopted the alarming stories from the unions. Vande Reyde wrote that trust in the media had thereby reached a historic low. #VRT #fakenews #mediawijsheid (translated)

Janneke Nieuwstad wrote that leftist parties, including the VVD, would once again be surprised in the next elections if Wilders won many seats.

A former woke teacher wrote that Letschert's past at Maastricht University, where she was allegedly involved in activities related to Palestine and Gaza and in asylum provisions, began to haunt her. The author stated that the VVD was right to demand clarification about the asylum service that the university offered under Letschert's administrative responsibility, including a manual for an asylum application. The adjustment of the associated webpage also raised questions, according to the author. Furthermore, the author wrote that Letschert's political appointment turned out increasingly unfortunate and that the problems she allegedly left behind in Maastricht had moved with her to The Hague. #UniversiteitMaastricht #Asielbeleid #PolitiekeBenoeming (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote to Kati Piri that the tolerance and inclusion she stood for, in his opinion, meant little as long as hoisting an Israeli flag could have consequences or Jews could not walk the streets in large cities without being recognizable. https://t.co/anFGjSYR9D #Israel #tolerantie #inclusie (translated)
