06.03.2025Fire Burns Through Arnhem's Heart
A major fire in Arnhem's historic center dominated morning coverage, with police evacuating 80-100 residents and firefighters conducting controlled burning of ancient buildings. Initial concerns about asbestos were dismissed by afternoon measurements. By evening, police announced investigation into potential arson.

Coalition tensions surfaced as PVV and BBB claimed they were blindsided by Schoof's €3.5 billion Ukraine support package, creating internal rifts just as EU leaders gathered for their defense summit. The summit produced unanimous support for European rearmament, though Hungary maintained its opposition to additional Ukraine aid.

Economic concerns intensified with ECB's rate cut announcement and Rabobank's warning of €12 billion potential losses from proposed US tariffs. Dutch prison system crisis emerged in coverage, with 1,800 detention spots declared unusable amid systemic capacity issues.
