Confidence in Dutch King hurt by pandemic vacation, party

NL Times  

Confidence in Willem-Alexander as King continued to decline after a big dip last year. Less than half of Netherlands residents have confidence in his functioning, and less than half are satisfied with the way he governed in recent years, according to the NOS King's Day survey for 2022, conducted by the research agency Ipsos. The subsidy issue with the Het Loo nature reserve, which the King closes to the public every year, presumably to go hunting, is also an annoyance for many. Netherlands residents experience the King as less compassionate, less involved, and less human than in previous years. Like last year, a quarter of Netherlands residents think a republic government is more appropriate for the Netherlands.
