"In the childcare allowance affair, the government wronged people literally and figuratively. In his Budget Day speech last month, King Willem-Alexander addressed this scandal. The RVD would not say anything about the meeting. The Cabinet set 1.1 billion euros aside for dealing with this scandal.Īccording to NOS, this will be the first time the Dutch monarch meets with victims of government failure.
Many are still facing financial difficulties. The Cabinet is still working on financial compensation for these parents, wrongly labeled as fraudsters and forced to repay large amounts of childcare allowance. The victims also emphasized that their problems are far from being solved. "In our view, you are also responsible for the suffering that has been caused to us and our children," they said in the letter.
They said that they found letters, subpoenas, and writs with the King's name on them stuck to their doors. In September, five victims wrote a letter to the King asking for his help and an apology. According to the victims, the King is at least partially responsible for their suffering. King Willem-Alexander will meet with some victims of the childcare allowance scandal on Wednesday afternoon, government information service RVD confirmed to NOS.
