Three doctors have resigned from the country's most secure asylum center in Hoogeveen. The medical professionals resigned after the government placed asylum seekers with severe psychiatric conditions at the facility against medical advice. The resulting tension and conflicts have, according to the departing staff, made the site unworkable.
The minority cabinet is preparing for budget negotiations with a familiar list of demands. Jesse Klaver, the leader of the Green-Left, is seeking higher taxes on wealth in exchange for his party's support. At the same time, the cost of renovating the Binnenhof parliamentary complex has continued its upward trajectory; rising interest rates have pushed the projected bill toward 3 billion euros.
Albert Heijn’s home delivery service remains offline following a cyberattack. The launch of the service has been postponed once more due to persistent IT issues. While the supermarket's app and website are now working, the delivery vans are staying parked.
