Dutch royals sorry for Princess Amalia birthday party that broke Covid rules [_link]
Rutte has a chronic loss of memory to hide his lies and falsehoods ...
Alexander has a complacent view as ruler standing on his privileges no matter what which includes hunting, extracting subsidies, birthday parties, vacationing and limiting the Royal workload in discussion and negotiations for a new government.

Additionally, they plan to raise the minimum hourly wage gradually by 7.5 percent 🤥
Yeah, over a 4 year period from 9.82 with a 20 cent increase per year ... cost of living due to inflation increased by 6% in the month of November ... idiots, VOC mentality doing mathematics to advance the government's treasury. On consumer price of gas, the tax is 50%. So far the energy costs have doubled, so Christian Democrat Wopke Hoekstra is counting his gold like a Scrooge McDuck.

Die Erhöhung des Mindestlohns auf 12 Euro ist für mich eines unserer wichtigsten Gesetze und eine Frage des Respekts vor der Leistung von Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmern. Ich freue mich, dass es jetzt auf den Weg gebracht wird! [_link]— Olaf Scholz (@OlafScholz) January 22, 2022

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (pix) said yesterday that his Social Democrats (SPD) were pushing ahead with their election promise to raise the national minimum wage to 12 an hour, as it was important to show respect for low-paid workers. Social Democrat Labour Minister Hubertus Heil presented a draft law on Friday proposing to increase the wage floor from the current 9.82 from October onwards. For me, raising the minimum wage to 12 is one of our most important legislative projects and it's a matter of showing respect for the achievements of employees. I'm glad it's on its way now!," Scholz said on Twitter.

Rutte about Amalia party: Oranges are also people who make mistakes No pattern Rutte denied that the Oranges feel elevated above the people by not adhering to the rules. It is not the first time that the king's family has violated the corona regulations. For example, they went on holiday to Greece last year, while the advice was not to travel. The family canceled the trip under pressure from the negative publicity. Yet, according to Rutte, there is no pattern: "Those are way too heavy words."

The Royal Family did not "cancel the trip" as the family already arrived at their holiday home in Greece. Making it worse, Alex and Maxima stated they would return to the Netherlands.
