By Anonymous: Her statements are not contradictory, are they? Yes, digital money can have many advantages. And she nowhere says that the digital euro as it is and will become reality is even remotely similar to the digital euro that she describes, and what we should build on to make it work for all Europeans. It is not without reason that she says, let’s imagine a better future: that is necessary if the current digital euro wants to be digital money in that future that actually offers the many possible benefits. She could hardly have trumpeted that as far as she is concerned, a lot still needs to be done if the digital euro is to become something she can speak positively about, because then she would be accused of having spoken AGAINST the digital euro. She keeps herself perfectly on a neutral surface, without undermining what is already there, and at the same time maintaining hope for the future against her better judgement.
Woolly talk from you, to sweep under the rug that Maxima was making propaganda for the digital euro as a showpiece. We know whitewashing, greenwashing, bluewashing, wokewashing, ethics washing. Well, this was royalty washing.
In this way, digidramming is also rebranded as “digital inclusivity”. As if it is not about a political lobby, but about charity. The royal family will soon apply for an ANBI quality mark so that they can receive tax-free donations. Oh wait, they already do that. Tax-free for themselves then, not for Dutch taxpayers.
We pay millions every year for a subsidized club that sells us second-hand cars and the occasional bridge.
