The usually progressive Dutch satire @zondagmetlubach takes nationalist tour on #Eurobonds. Presents us vs them rhetoric, portraying https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇳🇱" title="Flag of Netherlands" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Netherlands"> as virtuous unified whole. Singles out Italy and Italian Eurosceptic populists as culprits. #zml https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkmTFMO0SkA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

It& #39;s a significant development, when once progressive satire programmes like @zondagmetlubach - the Dutch answer to @TheDailyShow and @LastWeekTonight - well-known for this video https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index">, turn nationalist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELD2AwFN9Nc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

There is a good argument to be made that citizens in a democracy carry a responsibility for the politicians they vote into office. Voting Berlusconi / DiMaio / Salvini into office has consequences. To the same extent as voting Rutte / Wilders / Baudet.

But @arjenlubach is conveniently forgetting that https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇵🇹" title="Flag of Portugal" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Portugal">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇪🇸" title="Flag of Spain" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Spain"> are also livid. They have had rather solid governments in the Eurocrisis and beyond. Especially Portugal.

. @arjenlubach in @zondagmetlubach also conveniently ignores Dutch economists, stressing the interconnectedness of Eurozone economies and need for unconditional ESM activationhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Down pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Down pointing backhand index"> https://esb.nu/blog/20059114/europese-aanpak-is-in-het-nederlands-belang?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=SHR_ARTT_20200331&utm_content=blog">https://esb.nu/blog/2005...
