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)

Jan Dijkgraaf published a new 'Letter from Jan' to Tijs van den Brink. He wrote that Van den Brink's statement in the House of Representatives, on behalf of the CDA, that cooperation with Extinction Rebellion was possible, reminded him of a woman from the Refugee Foundation whom he described in a condescending manner. https://t.co/zD1t6bmvPK https://t.co/rak9I7FoX7 #Politiek #ExtinctionRebellion #CDA (translated)

Sander Sassen wrote that of the 70,000 people invited to the climate consultation, approximately 6 percent responded. According to him, a panel of 175 people was formed from that group through weighted lottery. He argued that participation in itself selected people based on interest and opinions, resulting in the panel not being a representative cross-section of the Netherlands. According to Sassen, the assignment was also limited beforehand: the consultation was not about whether climate policy should be implemented, but about its scope and ways in which the Dutch could eat, travel, and consume more climate-friendly. Documents requested through the WOO showed, according to him, that among others, Extinction Rebellion had provided input for the invitations, guiding principles, and knowledge panel. According to Sassen, critical experts were selectively fact-checked or neutralized. He concluded that the citizen consultation was therefore not a neutral democratic instrument but a process with a left-progressive and, in his view, even left-activist inclination. #Klimaatbeleid #Democratie #Feiten (translated)

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)

Bijna 50.000 treinreizigers hebben de gevolgen ondervonden van de spoorbezetting op Utrecht Centraal door de actiegroep Extinction Rebellion, die op 23 mei plaatsvond en waarvoor de NS de directe kosten op ongeveer 100.000 euro schat. #UtrechtCS #ExtinctionRebellion #Spoorblokkade

„Spoorbetreding brengt aanzienlijke veiligheidsrisico’s met zich mee.”„Demonstraties op het spoor raken direct de veiligheid van reizigers, medewerkers en derden die zich op of rond het spoor bevinden. Dit is ontoelaatbaar en strafbaar”, aldus Bertram in haar brief. #Spoorblokkade #ExtinctionRebellion #UtrechtCS
