Bas Paternotte

Bas Paternotte questioned the direction of the CDA under Henri Bontenbal. He stated that the party preferred to collaborate with Extinction Rebellion rather than shift to the right, and described the organization as extreme left and antisemitic. He also used the hashtag #Fatsoen. #Fatsoen https://t.co/eqC9UD7AUQ #CDA #Extreemlinks #Politiek (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that Speaker of the House Thom van Campen (VVD) did not dare to present the decision to the entire House of Representatives, out of fear of upsetting the Christian factions and Muslim members of DENK. He accused Van Campen of being particularly cowardly. https://t.co/uloSkaucnj #TweedeKamer #Politiek #Nederland (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that a student from Gaza who expressed sympathy for Hamas was allowed to stay in the Netherlands. He called the asylum policy the most insane ever and wrote that it was led by CDA member Bart van den Brink, who according to him imposed the Compulsion Act on the Dutch. Paternotte stated that the cabinet was not seeking support, but sowing polarization. #asielbeleid #polarisatie #Hamas (translated)

Bas Paternotte reported that Maastricht University employed a staff member who helped students from Gaza with their asylum applications. He wrote that the university also had a step-by-step guide for that purpose. https://t.co/pvhTe34o9B #asielaanvraag #onderwijs #Maastricht (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that Bart van den Brink (CDA) had told Marina Vondeling (PVV) that the student from Gaza, whom Paternotte described as a Hamas student at Maastricht University, was allowed to stay in the Netherlands and retained his residence permit. https://t.co/7Gs4j9V1UK #Nederland #Hamas #Verblijfsvergunning (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that Simon Ceulemans (JA21) said that Maastricht University had an employee who advised students on applying for asylum. Bart van den Brink (CDA) had reportedly called this undesirable and promised to inquire about it with his colleague Rianne Letschert (D66). https://t.co/kZMN3gUNxp #onderwijs #asiel #UniversiteitMaastricht (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that Heera Dijk (D66) claimed to have financial backing for her proposal, but could not explain where it came from. According to him, she was also upset because she could not finish her rehearsed performance. Paternotte sharply characterized her as a human variant of AI-generated drivel. #D66 #politiek #AI (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that Henri Bontenbal could have expressed his comments on one of the 364 other days but chose to do so today. He called the decency of the CDA ruthless and stated that Bontenbal missed out on the premiership due to his homophobia and reduced the CDA to a junior partner. #Fatsoen #CDA #politiek #homofobie (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that there would be 140,000 extra asylum applications and stated that the asylum system would not survive that. According to him, Rob Jetten had no choice but to declare an asylum crisis. https://t.co/RzjafPmTVn #asielcrisis #asielaanvragen #vluchtelingen (translated)

Bas Paternotte wrote that he found it contradictory that some people considered the United Nations sacred, but at the same time wanted Jetten to arrest Netanyahu in the UN building. According to Paternotte, this showed their moral corruption. He added that even Trump had not said that the Iranian minister Araghchi should be arrested because of his presence. https://t.co/QxDTQBv3kB #VN #morelecorruptie #Israël (translated)

Martin Bosma (PVV) is looking for an opinion from alleged decent CDA member Tijs van den Brink about the 'violence-hungry' D66 members who applauded for Jetten after his controversial 'hit them hard' remark. #Decency #norming #Fatsoen #normeren https://t.co/DtYakCUf0e #politiek #D66 #CDA (translated)

Unrest in the Chamber over Rianne Letschert (D66) who says something different than the rest of the cabinet about education cuts. It seems like the D66 member is not familiar with the unity of cabinet policy and speaking with one voice. #AFB #AFB #onderwijs #politiek #D66 (translated)
