Harm Beertema criticized the minority cabinet for the emergency package that, according to him, was imposed, including a flashlight and battery-operated radio. He asked what citizens were supposed to listen to on that radio and referred to advice to shelter under the stairs with a can of sardines. He also inquired where Dilan Yeşilgöz and Tom Berendsen, whom he described as sustainability advisor and policy officer, would be during a crisis. According to Beertema, they might possibly be abroad, as he claimed that governments and royal households were accustomed to doing. #politiek #kabinet #noodpakket (translated)

"It is about your own family, your own people. You are the first king to dare to present yourself in such a vulnerable way." It is rightly noted by former MP Kathleen Ferrier on Friday during the presentation of the results that a prime minister or mayors (or a corporate top) asking for research into a loaded part of history do so as "successors of random predecessors." #kolonialisme #OranjeNassau #geschiedenis (translated)
