In this no one can claim surprise, this is the logical conclusion of the actions taken by the EU since the beginning of the conflict, in which they sacrificed their own economy to feed Ukraine’s conflict, to the benefit of the US, but the situation is worse than reported by officials who have always changed the numbers favorably.

It’s actually the least of our concerns. We’re grappling with the toeslagenaffaire, a discriminatory policy that led to children being forcibly removed from their parents by the state, an issue that remains unresolved to this day. The affected parents also face discrimination when seeking legal counsel.

Moreover, we’re dealing with an housing crisis that is set to worsen due to the stikstofcrisis, which hinders the construction of new housing. And will only around 2027 slightly lessen. This primarily affects the average person, as expensive housing projects for the wealthy continue to be built.

In addition, we’re experiencing significant teacher shortages, a growing waiting list for medical care, an upcoming dentist shortage that could be easily resolved with just a few million euros, the plight of the so-called pechgeneratie who are burdened with hefty education loans (some as high as €80.000), and an impending water crisis characterized by local shortages and contamination with toxic chemicals.

Furthermore, the PFAS crisis has come to the fore, with a Dutch news agency, Nieuwsuur, revealing that Chemours in Dordrecht has been dumping staggering amounts of toxic material into the environment, poisoning the nearby city of Dordrecht and many surrounding cities.

We’re in a precarious situation. We also have the Farmer Citizen Movement (BBB), a political movement founded and backed by big capital in the agricultural sector, gaining popularity. People are falling for the age-old tactic of scapegoating marginalized groups, and we risk turning into something resembling Amerikkka.
