General Middendorp has informed parliament that it is
doubtful whether the Netherlands can replace the Belgians in July next year to
bomb ISIS. One problem is that The Netherlands does not have smart ammunition
left for the planes. A second is that maintenance activities have to be carried
out for the F16 planes. A third problem is that they have to fly missions for
NATO

Dutch Srebrenica soldiers prepare huge claim against Dutch State
A group of veterans of the Dutchbat III unit prepared a huge
claim against the Dutch state because were knowingly sent on an impossible
mission to Srebrenica in 1995. The lawyers who represent them say that the
claimants number more than 100 soldiers and some officers. Some of the soldiers
still suffer from post-traumatic stress after Bosnian Serbian soldiers killed approximately
8000 Muslims from Srebrenica. The
commanding officer of Dutchbat III, Thom Karremans, said that the preparation
of the unit was abominable. Recently,
Dutch Minister of Defense, Jeanine Hennis, said that it was known before the
soldiers were sent there that the mission could not possibly be carried
out. It is expected that the lawyers
will call Hennis to testify as a witness in the upcoming court case.

A Quarter of Community Service Sentences not fully carried out
A quarter of community service sentences are never or only
partially carried out, according to new figures from the probation service
Reclassering Nederland. Thousands of people sentenced to community service
either fail to show up or are sent home for aggressive behaviour or breaking
the rules, broadcaster NOS said. In 2013, there were problems with one in five
community service sentences, but this rose to over one in four last year. This
means in 2015 almost 11,000 people failed to carry out their sentence.

Wilders: King’s speech full of fairy Tales
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders reacted to King Willem
Alexander’s speech on the occasion of the opening of the parliamentary session
by saying that he felt like being in the Efteling theme park of fairy tales. He
said that the speech contained the government’s fairy tales, which are unrelated
to reality, which looks totally different. In his view citizens have seen that the
country has been destroyed by the cabinet. Wilders referred to the negative
changes in social affairs and to the increases of rent. Wilders mentioned the
influx of asylum-seekers and commented “we nearly lost our country.”
