Week 10 in 25 tweets

Wat mij betreft sprong deze week het fulmineren van Eva Jinek (minuut 47) tegen het feit dat Nederland de NAVO-norm niet haalt er uit. CDA en VVD kiezen voor het verhogen naar het Europese gemiddelde van de BNP : militaire uitgaven (waardoor dit verder zal stijgen) en niet de NAVO-norm. Dat laatste kost de Nederlander € 6 miljard.

Niet alleen haalde Jinek de vlucht van haar vader in 1968 uit Praag en de dreigende Russische tanks aan - alsof '68 en '17 te vergelijken zijn - om haar woorden kracht bij te zetten, ze vergat ook te vragen ten koste van wat dit zou moeten gaan. Bij de AOW naar 65 jaar doet ze dat zeker niet.
