A Dutch art detective has recovered a precious Vincent van Gogh painting.

The precious 1884 painting was stolen from the Singer Museum in Laren near Amsterdam in March 2020, when the museum was closed during a Covid-19 lockdown.

Will the liberal confines and "stability" of The be broken in November's elections?

Or can far right be held back by combination of ruling , a new conservative party, and a Left-Green alliance?

Continuing from last week on Dutch sprinters: After the SM '90s failed and were discontinued in 2005. The same year, NS placed an order for the Sprinter LightTrain, based on the reliable Baureihe 425. Three years later the first trainsets were delivered for testing.

Yesterday 2400 (i don't now if that's the correct number though) people were removed from the block ( at The Hague, by XR. and dropped somewhere outside town. Some were taken in custody.
Many many thousands of people supported nearby (and online 🤓 ).
But not a thing from the government. The demissionairy minister of Climate and Energy had a little visit, and said that we need change. But still there are no plans for that change....

So today the demonstration and block of the A12 continues.

@skwee357 well, that depends on one's citizenship.

IDK about the , but for @AuswaertigesAmt has all the resources online:

They even list job openings for international applicants online:

But if you want to try the (sadly slim chance) of seeking asylum, then @bamf would be the correct agency.

Tho if you'd apply for permanent residency, you'd also have to deal woth them - to different section.

The remains of British airmen shot down by the Nazis over Dutch waters may have been discovered in a massive rescue operation.

With the help of a €15m national plane-wreck rescue fund, the Dutch have started to sift the wreckage of the British Lancaster ED603, which never returned from a mass bombing mission targeting Bochum in Germany on 13 June 1943.

NL. Govt report: Housing seekers in the rental market are less likely to be discriminated against. Despite this outcome, housing discrimination remains a persistent problem. E.g.: people with a Moroccan sounding name have less chance of being invited to see a house.
