Populists deny the problems we face ecologically and pass them on to the next generations. In this article I discuss 4 populist statements 1. The Netherlands for the Dutch, 2. The “ordinary” Dutch person is entitled to his/her prosperity, 3. The Netherlands is full, no more asylum seekers and 4. Our national level of education is superior - I will contradict it here, light of the numbers. I conclude that the figures and statistics show that these claims cannot hold up at all with the available evidence.
