Ir. Wouter de Heij wrote that he had a busy week behind him, with good mornings, bad afternoons, and missed phone calls that he wanted to return later. He expressed annoyance at what he saw as the compliant attitude of LTO Nederland. According to De Heij, the civil service leadership abandoned dairy farmers, and the standard of 0.164 and other requirements remained intact. He also criticized VVD and CDA, as they, in his opinion, were either not paying attention or were willfully neglecting their responsibilities. Regarding area processes, he wrote that the civil service leadership had no interest in them. De Heij stated that the standard of 0.164 amounted to a reduction of about 30 to 40 percent of all dairy cattle in the Netherlands by 2035, possibly more. According to him, De Groot got his way, and the centrist parties allowed it to happen. He said he did not think this helped nature and urged readers to save his message. #melkveehouderij #politiek #natuur (translated)

Fleur Agema wrote that the VVD was putting pressure on the budget to make cuts, not because of a deficit above 3 percent: this would amount to 2.3 percent in 2026. According to Agema, the reason was that the party wanted to spend an additional 19.5 billion euros structurally on defense, after Schoof had promised that to Trump at the NATO summit. Agema stated that there were other costly expenditures besides defense and that the national debt was low, but that the VVD did not want to increase it. She called that a missed opportunity. Although borrowing would lead to higher interest burdens, it could finance necessary incidental expenses. Domestic investments, unlike expenditures on foreign arms industry, would stimulate economic growth, according to her. #VVD #begroting #defensie (translated)
