Damaging report on gas extraction in the Dutch province of Groningen: “The Netherlands is to blame”

According to the report, the parliament did not sufficiently represent the interests of the inhabitants. The executives of the time, including current Prime Minister Mark Rutte, underestimated the urgency and seriousness of the problem. Prime Minister Rutte even visited the province repeatedly, but nothing changed.

The gas extraction caused houses to collapse and torn, which led to headaches and health problems for the victims. And the Dutch state did not pay attention to that, “the state has long lacked care and attention to the situation”. “Making money took precedence over safety,” the report states.
