With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

Überall das gleiche rechtsextreme Playbook. Nur Faschisten müssen Angst vor dem Antifaschismus haben und versuchen ihn zu verbieten. Ich hoffe, dass zunehmend mehr Menschen bewusst wird, dass auch in Europa Autoritäre die Macht ergreifen, um Demokratien abzuschaffen.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Nederlandse jongeren voelen zich vaak niet gehoord door politici. Vanochtend sprak ik met @nporadio1.bsky.social over hoe politici, ouders en scholen hun kijk op politiek en democratie beïnvloeden, én hoe we ze meer gehoord kunnen laten voelen.

Jongeren bezorgd om pesten, wonen en veiligheid, en voelen zich niet gehoord
Veel jongeren tot 18 jaar voelen zich, net als vorig jaar, niet gehoord door de politiek, terwijl ze er volgens onderzoekers wel mee bezig zijn.

Es gibt KEINEN Lieferstopp von deutscher Rüstung nach Israel.

Es gibt lediglich einen Stopp von neuen Genehmigungen für Rüstungsexporte nach Israel.

Dies stellte heute der stellv. Regierungssprecher klar.

Bedeutet: Längst genehmigte Rüstungsexporte werden auch geliefert.
