Els van Veen wrote that she found the increasing resistance against Purple Friday recognizable. According to her, her children had long since stopped going to school. She stated that the problem was not that everyone could be themselves, but the pressure to wear purple at school and the government interference she saw in this matter. Years ago, she claimed, nearly no one came to school in purple anymore, not even an openly gay classmate. Van Veen compared this pressure to the coronaperiod. She wrote that people were told they were getting vaccinated for others, and that those who did not do so were labeled as antisocial and excluded. She also claimed that doctors expressing concerns were publicly ridiculed and lost their jobs. Many people, according to her, are now silent about this, including those who had contributed to the exclusion of unvaccinated individuals at the time. She argued that the boundary of coercion, pressure, and propaganda had been reached for more and more people. Van Veen criticized politicians who, in her view, wanted to dictate how people behaved and did not respect the right to self-determination. She also expressed criticism of what she described as moral superiority and the spending of public money on causes that did not benefit the population. Finally, she wrote that doctors treated everyone equally in the consulting room, regardless of gender, sexuality, or vaccination status. https://t.co/5EmgfuiUho #PaarseVrijdag #Tolerantie #Vrijheid (translated)
