Meri wrote that a mother demanded her son be allowed into the second grade, even though, according to her, he did not have sufficient Dutch language skills. The mother had sued the school, believing it should take his personal circumstances more into account and better assist him in learning Dutch. Meri argued that, in her opinion, the arrival of non-Western migrants had caused a decline in all aspects of society, particularly pointing to the level of education. She attributed that alleged decline to migrants and used derogatory language in doing so. https://t.co/CBZmKFGTEP #onderwijs #migratie #taalverwerving (translated)

Roaldcs wrote that the number of civil servants in the federal government had increased by over 40% in twelve years, from approximately 109,000 to 160,000 full-time jobs, and that the federal government also spent billions annually on external consultants. In response to NRC's question about why it was not possible to reduce the size of the government, he stated that the growth stemmed from incentives within the political and administrative system. According to Roaldcs, ministers with larger budgets and more staff could increase their influence, while officials who solved problems might render their own positions redundant. He also wrote that politicians were primarily judged on promises, and that new laws, subsidies, and organizations subsequently required additional implementation staff. If the execution stalled, he claimed that was used as a reason to hire more civil servants. Roaldcs advocated for eliminating government tasks, policy areas, ministries, subsidies, permits, and regulations. He believed that citizens, entrepreneurs, and social organizations should be able to arrange more for themselves and suggested that the power of the government should be radically limited. #Overheid #Bureaucratie #Politiek (translated)

Dr. Jan van de Beek stated that, in his opinion, the Netherlands largely allowed hopeless asylum migrants who formed a burden on society in various ways. He argued that Poland repeatedly suspended asylum rights and called it a smart idea as long as the laws and treaties were not amended. According to him, this seemed possible within the EU, allowing the Netherlands to adopt this policy. #asielbeleid #immigratie #Polen (translated)
