03.09.2025 โ‡ข The day public transport funding secured
โŒจThe Dutch media on September 3 prioritized the reversal of planned budget cuts to public transport. In the afternoon, multiple outlets reported that a 110 million euro reduction in funding for public transport in major cities had been canceled, a development met with relief. Earlier, sports news saw the Appeals Court reinstate Vitesse's professional football license, overturning a previous KNVB decision.
Concurrently, domestic security concerns continued in Amsterdam, with a 14-year-old arrested after an explosive device was found in the Plantage Kerklaan, building on earlier incidents. A new domestic issue emerged with reports from NRC detailing significant data security flaws leading to leaks of sensitive information like passports. Internationally, China showcased military strength and presented an alternative world order, while the EU pursued a South American trade deal, partly in response to US policies.
