Kee & Van Jole discuss the formation. For example, Mona Keijzer used the radio silence to launch an attack on Ukrainian refugees. They would come here for free benefits, while according to the Volendam woman there are probably safe places in Ukraine.
Van Jole sees Keijzer’s statements as classic hate speech. “As if the Ukrainian refugees come here for fun. She also sows distrust. And it seems as if she is mainly busy conquering a place in the cabinet to be formed.”
Kee states that what Keijzer says is in line with the plans of the formation discussions. “Wilders wants to be able to set aside rules by declaring an ‘asylum crisis’. This fits in with that.”
Kee also discusses how Rutte is busy securing the NATO position. Three countries still need to agree. “Once that is completed, he can no longer stay on as outgoing prime minister because that creates a conflict of interest.”
Van Jole says he will not miss Rutte. “He is responsible for the mess we are in now.” He notes that if Trump wins the elections in November and the US were to leave NATO, Rutte would be the one who would have to defend Europe against Putin. “Does that seem like a safe idea to you?”
Due to the 10th anniversary of De Nieuws BV, the commentary duo was also interviewed about their collaboration, or the lack thereof.
