A former woke teacher wrote that MP Nicole Moinat described, according to them, an established order that had lost its moral compass. The teacher stated that criminal organizations were recruiting very young people for explosions, drug trafficking, and assassinations because, according to them, juvenile offenders were hardly punished. In The Hague, according to the teacher, young criminals were primarily seen as victims of their circumstances. The teacher criticized explanations of crime based on disadvantage, personal problems, and a difficult childhood, because those explanations, according to them, obscured the responsibility of the offenders. The teacher also stated that the compassion for offenders was greater than the concern for victims. Young people deserved a second chance, according to them, but it should not outweigh the safety of society. The teacher wrote that the government, out of fear of appearing inhumane, no longer dared to set limits and that the consequences of this were borne by people who obeyed the law. #rechtstaat #criminaliteit #veiligheid (translated)

Iwan Dienjes wrote that the House of Representatives would vote that afternoon at 3:00 PM on the green gas obligation of climate minister Van Veldhoven (D66). Energy suppliers would be required to mix in more expensive green gas, with the costs eventually falling on others, according to him; VAT was not included in this. Dienjes pointed out that motions had also been adopted to limit the price increase. He urged readers to review the voting list and remember which members of parliament voted in favor, as they might later express their concerns about the energy bill again. #Groengas #Koopkracht https://t.co/gq3vrHE7Az #Klimaat #Energie #TweedeKamer (translated)
