30.06.2025Day Princess Amalia Chose Path
The day's editorial focus initially centered on the escalating heatwave across the Netherlands. Early reports activated the National Heat Plan, evolving into discussions of "heat domes" and culminating in a Code Orange warning for extreme temperatures in the southeast. Concurrently, international events held attention, including questions surrounding Trump's stance on Iranian nuclear facilities after a secret phone call, and ongoing concerns about antisemitism experienced by American Jews. Domestically, the struggle to disburse reparations for the slavery past continued to be highlighted, with funds reserved but unspent. As the day progressed, new economic adjustments, such as a minimum wage increase and electricity discounts to ease grid strain, emerged. By evening, a major domestic story took precedence: Princess Amalia's announced plans to study Dutch Law and join the Defensity College as a military reservist, alongside Queen Maxima's clarification of a related gesture with Trump.
