Cees van de Sanden, former VVD senator, realizes that as an independent member of parliament he has gained the freedom to critically assess the quality of legislation, after he resigned from the VVD due to his dissatisfaction with the populist direction of the party. #CeesvandeSanden #EersteKamer #VVD (translated)

The Senate discussed the limited space for the minority cabinet during the General Political Debates, where the BBB seems to be closing a right turn and a growing collaboration seems to be emerging between the VVD and Pro, despite the challenges surrounding the budget. #EersteKamer #politiek #begroting (translated)

"There needs to be movement, the cabinet has shown that it can move on social security. We need movement on nitrogen. And we are all in the same boat, as we discussed in the faction meeting." BBB faction member Gert Jan Oplaat says during the break of the debate that his party would dare: "There needs to be movement, the cabinet has shown that it can move on social security. We need movement on nitrogen. And we are all in the same boat, as we discussed in the faction meeting." #EersteKamer #politiek #cooperatie (translated)

An unusual collaboration is unfolding in the Senate between the PRO and VVD, while Prime Minister Rob Jetten confronts the necessity of political negotiations amidst the challenges his minority cabinet faces in gaining support for the tax plan. #EersteKamer #politiek #cooperatie (translated)

Widtvoet wrote that Klip had made it clear in the Senate that the VVD did not want to stop the distribution law for the time being. According to him, the liberals only wanted to consider the abolition of the coercive law if the influx of asylum seekers would substantially decrease in the long term. https://t.co/UTSw9tnKwa #EersteKamer #VVD #asielbeleid (translated)

Bert Slagter wrote that Eerenberg had dismissed the consequences for cryptocurrency investors in the Senate as the price of the accelerated route for box 3. Slagter stated that it was not a marginal phenomenon: according to him, it involved 2 million Dutch people and billions in assets, mostly with cryptocurrency companies, that were destroyed as a result. He called it unprecedented. #cryptovaluta #EersteKamer #investeren (translated)

René Kemp wrote that, according to him, more than 7 million euros were lost every week as long as the Senate did not address the issue.

The #SaskiaKluit is a senator of #PRO. Earlier, as chair of the travelers' organization Rover, she showed sympathy for Extinction Rebellion, which occupied the tracks in support of the Palestinians. Now she finds it unacceptable that NOS gives a lot of attention to a "troubling incident," in which 180 people on an airplane escaped death. It is alarming that she talks about the "automated and industrial" killing of Palestinians. Kluit is a disgrace to the image of the Senate as a 'Chambre de Reflection' and a symbol of the complete decline of PRO when it comes to Israel. #politiek #Israël #EersteKamer (translated)

Hugo de Jonge appte Grapperhaus dat hij debat met de Eerste Kamer "ruk" vond, dat de Senatoren zouden boeten in het hiernamaals en dat hij het "af ging raffelen". Nou ik heb nieuws Hugo: In de @EersteKamer vonden we jouw eindeloze lange, nikszeggende verhalen ook zwaar "ruk". https://t.co/x2GLFepb88 #EersteKamer #Politiek #Debat

Pijnlijk: ex-minister Grapperhaus noemde zijn collega Slob ‘een soepjurkje en een jankerd’, de Nijmeegse burgemeester kon ‘de ziekte krijgen’ en hij had ‘diepe minachting’ voor de ‘geriatrische beunhazerij’ in de Eerste Kamer. https://t.co/YaxczzO7CR #politiek #Nederland #EersteKamer

De Box 3-wet, die een nieuwe manier van belastingheffing op vermogen moet regelen, wankelt in de Eerste Kamer en kan leiden tot een begrotingstekort van 2,4 miljard euro voor het kabinet, terwijl staatssecretaris Eelco Eerenberg probeert om steun voor de wet te winnen te midden van grote kritiek en politieke verdeeldheid. #EersteKamer #Box3 #Vermogensbelasting
