René Kemp wrote that the video was cut off at the moment Caroline substantiated her answer. According to him, there was no homophobia to be discerned, on the contrary. He accused PRO of inciting, dividing, and polarizing others and called the party particularly mean. https://t.co/ydR30trHqp #discussie #liefde #respect (translated)

This discussion has been stuck for years. More has been accomplished in the past ten months than in the past ten years. Minister Heijnen is indeed enthusiastic about the deal, which he calls a 'big step' and a 'milestone.' #EuropeseKapitaalmarktunie #Investeren #FinanciëleRegelgeving (translated)

Widtvoet wrote that Jesse Klaver may have given the middle finger the night before, following an earlier alleged pipe gesture from Jetten. The author suggested that Klaver might have had an itch on his nose, just as Rob may have had an involuntary reflex earlier, and noted that such things happen. https://t.co/gfOnYSlfpi #politiek #humor #discussie (translated)

It's a pity that it has become such a mess. The House of Representatives is the place where the people are represented. So it's not strange that a rainbow flag is hanging there on Coming Out Day. State Secretary Judith Tielen (Emancipation, VVD) calls the discussion about raising the rainbow flag next Sunday at the House of Representatives 'a mess'. #regenboogvlag #emancipatie #TweedeKamer (translated)

Marcel Crok suspected that Tijs was referring to him with the term 'climate deniers' because he claimed to be about the only dissenting voice during an external expert day in March 2025. He called the term derogatory and pointed out that CDA leader Henri Bontenbal had also used it regularly, according to him. Crok invited Tijs to a lecture by Clintel given by Roger Pielke Jr. the following Sunday in Driebergen. He referred to an article by Pielke about a campaign against climate scientists with dissenting views. According to Crok, Australian activists, including a cartoonist, with the support of influential American climate scientists, created blacklists. Among those listed were Pielke, his father, and Judith Curry, according to him. Crok wrote that their academic careers were thereby hindered and called the issue concerning for Members of Parliament. Regarding his own participation in the Citizen's Assembly, Crok stated that the selection of citizens went well and that his discussions with KNMI director Maarten van Aalst were respectful. However, in hindsight, he claimed that the organization published an incorrect fact-check. He said he should have filed a forty-page complaint before he received any response. Crok argued that the debate about climate, just like the debate about corona which Tijs had previously struggled with as a journalist, was, in his view, being stifled. He spoke of a suffocating atmosphere in the academic world and wrote that no journalist had signed up to attend Pielke's lecture. #klimaat #wetenschap #discussie (translated)
