The Spin


Narrative A

The ongoing refugee crisis in the Netherlands exposes how so-called European values are ill-founded, and that racism still prevails in the continent. Conducting selective immigration practices and segregating refugees caused this crisis, with Ukrainians being treated better than black and brown refugees.


Narrative B

Unlike some other countries, the Netherlands is not facing a migrant crisis, only consecutive years of failed government policies. The agencies in charge of refugee intake have faltered miserably and are finally being forced to acknowledge their mistakes, but this is the result of incompetence, not intolerance. The government is now working to build proper accommodation for asylum seekers.
