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)

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)
