Good to see that @bruegel.org now corrected the labels in this plot. But not very classy to just delete the original post and ignore a friendly comment pointing out a possible error. That's not how we (should) do things here @bsky.app. People make errors so just acknowledge and correct.

Zojuist reactie ingediend bij de internetconsultatie voor zeer problematische wetsvoorstel om de verblijfstermijn voor naturalisatie te verlengen van vijf naar tien (!) jaar.
Hopelijk verdwijnt dit in de prullenbak zodra er een nieuwe regering is. Bij deze argumenten daarvoor.

I just sent off my voting ballot for the upcoming general elections in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Did you know that while there must be 100 thousands of Dutch citizens abroad, surprisingly few of those are voting. In the 2023 elections, about 70k of us voted from abroad. That’s one (1!) seat in parliament.

In other news, let me introduce you to the ”cubo nero” that is the talk of the town here in Florence, where obviously strict building regulations are crucial to preserving the city‘s historical heritage
Not saying much ado about nothing but think it just about fits among mixed style at the Lungarno

In our paper, we leverage a staggered diff-in-diff model and administrative data on complete migrant populations in Sweden and NL to identify the effect of dual citizenship acceptance on immigrants’ propensity to naturalize.

Great to see @globalcit.bsky.social’s Rainer Bauböck at the launch of the @internationalidea.bsky.social Global State of Democracy Report 2025. Emphasising the important implications of out-of-country voting in times of democratic recession both in migrant origin countries and destination countries.
