Dr. Jan van de Beek advocated for an end to what he described as bizarre, self-imposed legal obligations. According to him, these obligations bound the country to refugees who arrived through numerous safe countries and then made it less safe. #Asielbeleid #Vluchtelingen #Veiligheid (translated)

Roy, who described himself as a politically right-leaning former member of the VVD, wrote that he no longer knew who to vote for. He excluded a populist party on the right and even mentioned considering PRO, although that didn't make economic sense and wasn't logical for him personally. According to him, the party members were at least honest and human. Roy wrote that he had previously found Jesse Klaver weak and unconvincing, but that he now made a different impression: Klaver was, in his opinion, substantively strong and seemed to be developing leadership qualities. Roy also stated that Mark Rutte had called for people to look out for one another upon his departure, while the VVD under Dilan Yesilgöz did the opposite according to him. Yesilgöz, according to Roy, had ruined much for her party, although he found her good on Defense and previously on Justice and Security. According to Roy, PRO was precisely a party that paid attention to others. As an example, he mentioned the Self-Podcast by Sander Schimmelpenninck and Jaap Reesema featuring Lisa Westerveld. He claimed Westerveld dedicated herself day and night to underprivileged Dutch citizens. In the podcast, he also heard how demotivating work in the House of Representatives could be: requested debates from Westerveld sometimes did not make it to the agenda, while the right-wing majority preferred to debate asylum again. When a topic made the news, politicians were, in his opinion, always at the front. Roy wrote that the world would be a better place with more people like Westerveld. #politiek #VVD #Nederland (translated)

Claudia van Zanten wrote that the VVD, just like D66 earlier, was seeking conflict with Israel and provoking a war with Russia. She wondered whether the party would soon also come into conflict with the United States. Van Zanten reproached the VVD for not standing up for hard-working Dutch citizens, targeting small savers, not providing financial stability, and doing nothing about the influx of asylum seekers. According to her, voters, departing members, and prominent figures were fed up with the party's and the cabinet's direction. https://t.co/Ut9DHCrph1 #Nederland #politiek #oorlog (translated)

In Ter Apel, twenty asylum seekers slept outside on the grass in the rain last night, which humanitarian organizations such as Refugee Work Netherlands and the Red Cross attribute to the shortage of shelter places in the Netherlands and the decline below the humane threshold. #Asielzoekers #Noodopvang #TerApel (translated)

Simone Juffermans wrote that more than 50 Romanian labor migrants were allowed to stay in a vacation home, as their interests weighed more heavily according to the court, and due to their low income, they had difficulty finding other housing. She pointed out that the COA used multiple holiday parks for the accommodation of asylum seekers and their family members joining them. She also wrote that Wim, an 80-year-old who could not find affordable housing, was fined €10,000 because he lived in his chalet for part of the year. Juffermans expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation in the Netherlands. #huisvestingscrisis #arbeidsmigranten #asielzoekers (translated)
