Official news: The Dutch Cabinet just called it quits. New elections upcoming in March.
Cabinet-Rutte-III called it quits over the scandal about toeslagen*.
Ten of thousands of parents were duped (they use the word 'crushed' in the newspaper) by the government after they went to look for 'fraud'. Not being given 'toeslagen'* such as child support. Or to have the children brought to daycare, since both parents had to be working, or as a single parent.

"Duped parents must immediately pay the money they received back to the belastingdienst (=government entity that charges the taxes to the civilians)."

*Toeslagen translates as: surcharges, allowance, premium, addition or surtax.
Basicly it means, you talk to a governing substance if you have problems getting by in a month, and sometimes they give you a bit of cash to help pay for important things.
You have one for when you have children. Or when you earn too little to properly pay for health insurance. If you earn to little and you live in a rental apartment, it is possible to get a bit of additional cash for that too.
Rutte stays as 'demissionair' during this covid crisis issue.
I think these are results from our RTRs. Keep up the work guys!
