Taxpayer? We’re comfortable in our homes with our families being safe.
Our economies are stable, our infrastructure is protected. We can produce every day.
Our benefits far outweigh the taxes we pay.
“Ukraine is evil for dutch taxpayers”
Ukraine might be the most efficient user of taxpayer money considering we spent 2 million euros renaming the “ministry of safety and justice” into “ministry of justice and safety”
Saying this as a dutch taxpayers im happy when it gets spend on helping Ukraine.
(Also propagandists like to think that when x amout of money is being send to Ukraine its train cars full of cash, when in fact its military equipment)
How does that work? How does changing a name cost any money, let alone millions?
I rename my iPhone every other week because it keeps changing after connecting to PC. Free of charge! Lmao.
Signage, websites, letterheads and stuff. Everything that has the old name has to be redone.
That can’t possibly cost 2 million tho lol. Unless it’s the good old corruption. 2000€ per sign changed. And every letter head billed individually.
It’s very inefficient with lots of red tape, processes to follow and meetings with designers, lawyers and managers before the work can start. And then every change must be agreed on by different departments. Each person touching this project will write their hours onto the bill.
Sounds like my own country tbh lmfao. At the end they will have spent 2 billion and unable to show useful results. It went to advisors mostly. Just so happens that said advisors are related to the decision makers.
What are the odds? 🫠
Our government is very good at meetings and discussions. We have meetings about planning meetings. Its ridiculous if you ask me.
I’ve had some severe mental problems in the past, relying on government assistance for a while. And the amount of talks that are involved with any decision that has to be made, its enough to drive you crazy if you wherent already.
Here is the source (in dutch):
Het veranderen van de naam van het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie in Justitie en Veiligheid kost ruim 2 miljoen euro. Dat gaat onder meer op aan het aanpassen van de e-mailadressen van de medewerkers.

Those people might be even not Dutch but Russians.
Of the eight demonstrators who showed up in Amsterdam, five were Dutch and two were Russian. The identity of one remains unverified by the Kyiv Independent.
Deport them.
In another words, water is wet
