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)

Max von Kreyfelt argued that the Netherlands should ask less about which ministers should resign and more about whether officials should be held accountable. According to him, a forced departure was often followed by a new position or severance pay, which meant that political responsibility could change into a career step. He cited Hugo de Jonge as an example. Von Kreyfelt stated that political incompetence or mistakes did not in themselves constitute a crime, but that willfully lying under oath, destroying documents, falsifying data, corruption, and deliberately acting unlawfully by officials should be independently investigated. A ministerial title should not provide protection against criminal investigation, according to him. He cited as examples the childcare benefits scandal, Groningen, and the COVID-19 period. He wrote that affected parents were treated as fraudsters and that after inquiries and promises in Groningen, accountability was lacking. He also stated that Rutte, De Jonge, and Grapperhaus had presented political choices during COVID as natural laws, dismissed criticism, and stretched fundamental rights. He emphasized that this did not mean they had committed criminal offenses; this should be investigated independently, according to him. Von Kreyfelt wrote that the Netherlands had had enough of inquiries and reports without consequences, while victims faded from view. Officials who broke the law and deliberately caused harm to society should be able to go to court just like other citizens, according to him. #rechtsstaat #politiek #verantwoordelijkheid (translated)

Jeff Hoeyberghs stated that two career politicians had never built a business that had to survive independently.
