25.09.2026 ⇱ The Day a Prison Worker Was Shot Dead in Amsterdam-Noord
⌹

Overnight minister Van Weel survived a no-confidence motion after admitting he misled parliament, saying he put the chamber on the wrong track, while Jetten opened his UN address with an Anne Frank passage and told states to keep hands off the International Criminal Court.

The cabinet said it wanted to end the obligation to fill gas storage from 2028, a multibillion burden passed on to consumers.

Midday focus shifted to messages cited as proof Efe Y. admitted shooting two Syrian teenagers, and to hackers extorting Flink customers after a data breach.

From the afternoon coverage converged on Amsterdam-Noord, where a Zaanstad prison employee was shot dead on an NDSM-kade terrace after an argument; the suspect was arrested and a weapon recovered from the IJ.

In the evening Pro and Volt said they would negotiate the budget with the minority cabinet only jointly.
