of these elements that made us a great company, those elements are under pressure," he said, citing increasing regulation and a plan to scrap a tax break given to highly skilled immigrants. POTENTIAL CURBS ON FOREIGN STUDENTS Around 40% of ASML's 23,000 employees in the Netherlands are not Dutch.

Outgoing Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte is imploring Europeans to "stop whining" about Donald Trump and focus on supporting Ukraine. "We should stop moaning and whining and nagging about Trump," Rutte said during the Munich Security Conference, according to Reuters. He didn't say who he would prefer as president in 2024, but
said, "It's up to the Americans. I'm not an American, I cannot vote in the U.S. We have to work with whoever is on the dance floor." While Rutte will be exiting his role as prime minister soon, he is the leading candidate to be the next secretary-general...

Erdoğan's Conquest: Turkish-Controlled Dutch Party Infiltrates Netherlands Police, New Sharia Uniforms For Officers Mark Pivotal Step in Islamization

On February 1, 2024, a contentious decision shook the Netherlands to its core: law enforcement officers (Boa’s) in Utrecht were granted permission to wear sharia-compliant headscarves. The
motion initiator is Turkish-tied Muslim Mahmut Sungur from the Islamic Denk (or “Think”) party, lauding Utrecht’s “pioneering stance.”This move, endorsed by the left-wing city council and led by a controversial Muslim politician and political party operating on behalf of Turkey, represents a profound victory for Islamic supremacists trying to conquer The Netherlands. It is more than just a nod to religious diversity; it’s a capitulation to the demands of a growing sharia-adherent Muslim...

[Catholic Caucus] African, Belgian, and Dutch Bishops before the challenge of Fiducia SupplicansThe Bishops' Conference of the North African Region (Cerna) meeting in Rabat, Morocco, Jan. 11-15, approved the Declaration Fiducia supplicans (see here), stipulating, regarding the "pastoral practice of blessings," that it is possible to give the blessing not only individually,
but also to people "in an irregular situation" who present themselves together requesting it, provided this "does not create confusion for those concerned themselves or for others." This stance cracked the unanimity that had been created around the communiqué of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and...

farmers, no food, no future!” he declares, laying bare the stakes of this silent battle.

[Catholic Caucus] Dutch bishop blasts ‘cowardly’ Fiducia Supplicans, urges scandalized Catholics not to leave Church‘This pontificate will naturally come to an end,’ writes Bishop Rob Mutsaerts. ‘Should you obey him? No.
Stay in the Church!’Fiducia Supplicans – the controversial Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith – is above all a cowardly document. It refuses to name homosexual practices as intrinsically evil. It is now clear that Fiducia Supplicans is not about an expansion of the meaning of blessings, but of a deliberate modification of what is sin.

The farmer protests that changed the Dutch government have come to Germany

American Thinker ^
| 13 Jan, 2024 | Andrea Widburg
The mainstream media is assiduously ignoring a fascinating story: German farmers are doing what Dutch farmers did last year; namely, rising up in a massive protest against their country’s globalist, climate change policies. With
luck, these protests will have the same outcome, which was a massive shift to conservativism in the Dutch government during the last election. Modern Germany is, in some ways, a very weird country thanks to the legacy of WWII. Its citizens have grown up in the shadow of their collective guilt for the Holocaust, along with the 80 million or so other deaths the Nazi war...

Prospective Dutch Prime Minister Geert Wilders has threatened to rescind the country’s apology for slavery, as he continues haggling with various parties to form a coalition government. “The
apologies for the history of slavery and the police actions, as made by the king, will be withdrawn,” Wilders had warned in his election manifesto, according to The Times newspaper of Britain. Wilders, the leader of the far-right Freedom Party (PVV), shocked political experts when his party won the Dutch general election, but he first needed to create a coalition of parties to form his government or face another election. Those closed-door...

Both the Dutch military and society as a whole need to brace themselves for the possibility of a war with Russia, said Lieutenant-General Martin Wijnen, the departing Commander of the Royal Netherlands Army. "Our society should be preparing themselves for this," he told the Telegraaf in an interview published on Thursday. Wijnen
said that the Netherlands should follow the examples set by countries like Sweden, Finland, the Baltic nations. Those countries which border Russia, or are close to it, are better prepared for the outbreak of war. "The Netherlands needs to learn that the entire society needs to be prepared...

A painting dated from the 16th century depicting the biblical figures of Adam and Eve, looted from the collection of Dutch-Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during World War II, has been returned to Goudstikker’s only living heir. The

According to New York law firm Kaye Spiegler, which facilitated the painting’s return, museum officials raised flags internally over the painting’s ownership record after uncovering a label with Goudstikker’s surname on...
