The Netherlands has a new King

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ The new Dutch King Willem-Alexander has been sworn in at a ceremony in Amsterdam’s Nieuwe Kerk.

Willem Alexander becomes the first king of the Netherlands in more than 120 years, ascending a throne largely stripped of political power but still invested with huge symbolic significance.

With his wife Queen Maxima by his side, the King took the oath of allegiance. Outside the church, a massive crowd had gathered to follow the ceremony on giant screens.

Like her mother and grandmother before her, Beatrix, who is 75, chose to abdicate after a 33-year reign, saying her son was ready and that it was time for the throne to be held by “a new generation”.

Beatrix is a very popular Queen with an estimated 8 out of 10 Dutch people in favour of maintaining the monarchy.

The abdication takes place on Queen’s Day, a national holiday in The Netherlands, giving the Dutch an opportunity to gather and celebrate in what are rather morose economic times with the country back in recession.

After her abdication, Queen Beatrix, the new King Willem-Alexander and his wife, Queen Maxima, appeared on the balcony of the Royal Palace in Amsterdam to an enthusiastic orange-clad crowd of well-wishers.

Nearly a million people are estimated to have converged on Amsterdam for the event, including more than 10,000 police officers deployed in a massive security operation.

The new King and Queen were joined by their three daughters, the eldest of whom, nine-year-old Catharina-Amalia, becomes Princess of Orange and heir to the throne.

    Is it true that the Royal family of the Netherlands all have civilian jobs? I knew a Dutch man called Rob who told me it is common to see them riding to work in public.

    Ik denk dat de relatie van de koning met Jezus kan gaan over de mensen die gewoon het geld van de koning lenen met misleidende partijen. Ik denk ook dat de gouverneur van de Centrale Bank en de relatie van de bank met de koning misschien over een klassenmaatschappij kan gaan met het lenen van het geld van de koning in ruil, b.v. Bankrate en dat dit door een nieuwe staat moet worden onderzocht.

    Ik denk dat onderzocht moet worden of Nederländ, de staat af en toe wetten maakt met de Bijbel geschreven als verhaal. Het woord immuniteit (Latijnse immunitas, vrijheid van verplichtingen aan de staat) komt van een religieuze openbaring uit de middeleeuwen, hoogstwaarschijnlijk van een paus om wetteloos te worden, en die sindsdien is herschreven tot volledige immuniteit voor de koning, persoonlijke en functionele immuniteit (wettelijk, kan niet worden vervolgd voor criminele daad) aan de premier en de regering voor wetsbesluiten en -acties. Ik vind ook dat onderzocht moet worden of miljoenen gesneuvelde soldaten in de wereldoorlogen door het volk zijn gekozen of niet. De politieke exploitatie van het vitale ecosysteem heeft nu geleid tot bossterfte (overmacht) hoe zal dit de economie van mensen beïnvloeden, enz.

    Ik denk dat de Democraten een bewust misleidende partijnaam kunnen zijn met alle partijen die tot de Conservatieve Partij behoren, omdat de huidige politieke democratie en socialisme alleen maar meer naar het midden kunnen gaan, bijvoorbeeld. Sociaal-democraten. De reden kan zijn dat de koning (staatshoofd) het volk met volledige immuniteit wil regeren samen met de premier en regering, het parlement, met functionele immuniteit, persoonlijke immuniteit voor wetsbesluiten en -acties, zelfs met het misleidende woord beroepspoliticus.

    Ik ben van mening dat moet worden onderzocht of de koning (staatshoofd), de minister-president, de regering en het parlement opzettelijk het doel van de code en de staatsstructuren voor de politie hebben verborgen. Ik vind ook dat af en toe onderzocht moet worden of de miljarden belastingvrij met apanage (Latijn apanare betekent "brood geven") naar het buitenland zijn gebracht.

    Ik denk dat de relatie van de koning met Jezus gaat over het feit dat de mensen gewoon het geld van de koning lenen met de misleidende partijen.

Auf Wiedersehen Athens?

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ As the German and French leaders met to discuss how to keep Greece in the eurozone some Germans seem indifferent to its fate.

A recent opinion poll show around 60 percent of them support Angela Merkel’s opposition to stimulating growth in Europe through new borrowing and in a Berlin food market a commonly expressed feeling was that Germany’s already given too much to Greece without getting anything back.

Flower seller Rudi Kalupa said: “I’m not worried about the situation in Greece. If they are not able to handle the euro, they have to leave the euro, as simple as that.

Vegetable seller Christine Neuendorf added: “I think Greece should leave the eurozone. We have to work hard here. We have to pay a lot of taxes and this and that and nobody ask us if we want all that.”

But if Greece does leave the eurozone, Charles Dallara of the International Institute of Finance, who negotiated the Greek bond swap, said the damage to the rest of Europe would be “somewhere between catastrophic and Armageddon”.
