Weird Duk wrote that he posted a lot about it because he found the situation tragic and believed it was foreseeable.

Kleis Jager mentioned Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the radical left, as the great inspirer of that day. According to Jager, political scientist Dominique Reynié said that Mélenchon had no chance in the regular way of making it to the second round of next year's presidential elections. Jager wrote that Mélenchon did not want a normal debate about, among other things, the unsustainable national debt or questions about his unaffordable program, but rather sought chaos and violence because that, in his view, was his only chance. #politiek #verkiezingen #samenleving (translated)

The author stated that the Dutch population had grown from just over 1.1 million since early 2016 to approximately 18.1 million. According to the author, around 173,000 people had died and 167,000 babies had been born in 2025, resulting in negative natural growth and the total growth coming entirely from migration. The author referred to Jan Latten, who estimated the group of Dutch origin at about 12.9 million, and wrote that this group was expected to shrink by 1 to 2 million over the coming decades. By 2050, according to the author, the Netherlands would have about 20 million inhabitants. The author argued that the changing population composition put pressure on social and cultural relations, social cohesion, the welfare state, and the housing market. It was written that rapid changes complicated integration and increased parallel societies and clashing norms and values. According to the author, politicians focused too much on symptom treatment and paid too little attention to population growth due to migration and low birth rates among the indigenous population. The author praised Latten for his expertise and warned that politics, media, and society needed to take demographic changes seriously. https://t.co/wVfulQlN6k #demografie #migratie #socialecohesie (translated)
