Except for the Dutch where the government outsourced the Digid - our national ID and most personal information - to an American firm. Despite concerns from the parliament.
But the new PM is a lapdog to Trump because his mentor and former PM Rutte, is so far up Trump’s ass, he can cut his tonsils.
I don’t think so, but the deal is only for 2 years. They will revisit it then and considering the uproar it is unlikely it will go to a US party again.
I’m more concerned by the tax service moving everything to Microsoft 365 to be honest. There’s bound to be a lot more personal data going there and it is not only for 2 years.
And yeah the VVD adore America. They’ve been trying to make the Netherlands into a copy of America for decades. They’re super neoliberal and service the big corporations, very much like the democrats in the US.
The VVD did this to us. And their neoliberal bullshit led directly to the PVV and the other far right garbage.
Big protest coming to my city tomorrow against the AZC, not even people from here. We will counterprotest and not le them near the AZC, that’s the plan anyway.
I really respect you taking the effort to counter protest! Kudos 👏 and thank you.
I don’t live there anymore, and I haven’t in decades but it shocks me when I’m back. The hatred against asylum seekers, LGBTQ etc. It’s not the country I remember, that stood for equality and fairness for all 😢

I do agree with most of this, but calling Rutte the mentor of Jetten is simply not true.
Most of what you say is, though.
Yeah it sucks, but I’m happy with my vote for Barbara Kathmann. She is doing some great work to spread more awareness and trying to stop it.
I read this weekend there was a new court challenge though?
Yes but it was struck down
Well that’s fucked. Is there anything left to do to stop this bullshit?
Also I read it was the damn VVD who made this deal in the last cabinet. Figures.

Yeah 100% agreed about the VVD.
