I’m from the Netherlands and I’m not surprised by the negative opinion. We are dealing with loads of crises at the same time at the moment (housing shortage, shortage of workers, nitrogen crisis, growing expenses for health care, energy crisis, problems related to climate change, angry farmers, etc.). I have a feeling many of these could have been avoided if the government had been more proactive over the last 20 years instead of (seemingly) turning a blind and hoping things will get solved by themselves.
