20.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day Political Parties Challenged Rule of Law
โŒจDutch media on October 20 extensively covered the growing concern over political parties' proposals challenging the rule of law. Early reports from RTL's election debate highlighted healthcare as a central theme. However, by mid-morning, the focus shifted dramatically to a report from the Dutch Order of Lawyers, which warned that nearly all political parties' programs contained proposals conflicting with the rule of law, particularly concerning asylum and migration. This became the dominant narrative, with multiple sources emphasizing that only a few parties remained within legal boundaries. The day concluded with continued reporting on this issue, alongside the ongoing Nexperia dispute.

Meeste EU-lidstaten willen ban op Russische energie voor 2028

Het merendeel van de EU-lidstaten heeft ermee ingestemd dat Europa voor 2028 stopt met het importeren van Russische energie. Al sinds 2022, nadat Poetin de gaskraan naar Europa grotendeels dichtdraaide en de energieprijzen omhoogschoten, probeert Europa om niet meer zo afhankelijk te zijn van Rusland. De import was al flink gedaald.
