The minister for tax affairs becomes the first casualty of Dick Schoof’s cabinet as Geert Wilders settles a score with NSC over the asylum law. A police report reveals how criminals have infiltrated the healthcare system with fake qualifications and bogus agencies. Parents are blocked from checking their children’s homework online, while the axe hangs over household goods chain Blokker. And Abdi Nageeye retakes Manhattan for the Dutch by winning the New York Marathon.
