Last Wednesday, April 26, 2023, Climate and Energy Minister Rob Jetten held his first climate press conference. It is intended that a series of such press conferences will follow. In them, he will update us on the implementation of climate plans. A €35 billion climate fund has been established by this administration. Of this, €28 billion is now earmarked. It is therefore good that society is informed about the progress of the implementation of the plans. Mind you, this has nothing to do with the nitrogen crisis.

As many of you know, since January 1, 2018, we shared our office building with our tenants from James Robinson. After 5 years of pleasant cooperation, the rental agreement has come to an end. The reason is that we simply outgrew each other, which is obviously a positive development from both sides.
I had promised not to vote. I kept it, despite the frequent flare-ups of conscience. My vote could not stop the political landslide. At least that is what the newspaper called it. Instead of a dancing Kaag on the table now a dancing Caroline on the stage.
On 1 January 2021, the starter's exemption (0% rate) was introduced. Due to this exemption, homebuyers between the ages of 18 and 35 pay no transfer tax once if they buy a property of up to €440,000.
