The Netherlands: No buses, few trains: public transport strike causes long jams - DutchNews.nl
A strike by public
transport workers on Tuesday has led to long traffic jams as commuters
turn to cars and taxis instead to get to work.
By 8 am there were 520 kilometres of slow-moving vehicles on the Dutch
roads, and traffic had ground to halt around Alkmaar and Rotterdam,
motoring organisation ANWB said.
Hashtags such as #meerijden and #liftaangeboden have become popular as
people seek to share rides. And in Amsterdam officials have opened the
IJ tunnel to bikes and mopeds, because there are no ferries over the IJ.

The Netherlands: Nationalists and populists issues lose favorability in the Netherlands
There was faltering support for the Netherlands to
withdraw from the European Union, according to a survey of voters and
non-voters in the Netherlands during the 2019European Parliamentary
elections.
The
poll, conducted by Ipsos for broadcaster NOS, also showed several
nationalist issues falling out of favor with the Dutch public. Just 15
percent of people agreed with a mandate saying the Netherlands should
leave the EU. That is down from 24 percent of respondents five years
ago. About 65 percent disagreed with the sentiment, with the rest saying
they either did not know or did not care.
Interestingly,
about 60 percent of voters said the Netherlands is better as part of
the European Union, while fewer than 40 percent of non-voters said the
same. Still, about 69 percent want to see the EU grow even stronger
because of international tensions, while only 7 percent disagreed.

Britain: As Theresa May quits, Britain is now in total crises mode and falling apart at the seams
May said it had been “the honour of my life” to serve as Britain’s second female prime minister. Her voice breaking, she said she would leave “with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.
Note EU-Digest It is high time for Britain, that a politician with some common sense and courage stands up and acknowledges that when the people voted for Brexit, with a very small majority, the British voters were ill informed, and that there should be a second referendum. If not, the country could be looking ahead at a very grim future.
