EU Integrity Watch

> In some cases there are 70% of migrants neither working nor speaking the country's native language. They're poor people and responsible for a disproportionate percentage of crimes. I suspect that you are not really familiar with much of legal migrants. Can you cite some real numbers(that is not coming from Sweden) about this?

Also, migrants are usually pretty well educated and rich people if they arrived through legal channels because there are high bars for them.

Asylum seekers and war refugees are just traumatized people who escaped from immensely bad zones and it will take some time for them to integrate and adapt, and many are suffering from shattered mental health. It takes years to even recover from basic PTSD with adequate therapy and support from one's own family.

Also on my side of EU,most trouble maker immigrants are usually illegal ones sheltered by local mafia/gangs trafficking them.

State has numerous initiatives to integrate them and introducing constant changes to support them, but for adults it takes some time to adapt, recover, integrate, find proper communities because most of them have left or lost their families.

It is sad to see my fellow people play right into right-wing sentiments that 80-90% immigrants are criminals or whatever and enjoying our social benefits. Nothing could be far from the truth, except for Ukrain war refugees, most migrants(except asylum seekers) have any access to state money. Of course, no one asks for real statistics or numbers because everyone is miffed with war and inflation, but we seek someone to blame and what else better than the people we don't even know about?

P.S. I volunteered in some immigrant shelters until last year and have many immigrant colleagues at work, hence I believe that I have slightly better concept of the matter than average HN person from EU ;)

A cynical view on the Dutch culture of consensus building is that it is precisely that: an exercise in appearing take things into account.

I've also heard it said that the Dutch think they don't have corruption because they do it for free. You just need to find the right phrasing.

But then again, evidence is evidence.

Government facilitated criminality against innocent, non crime involved citizens. Then serious obstruction of justice in the courts themselves to make a criminal case against the own case fail.

In the Netherlands they have a concept called “interventions”. They are activities carried out that are supposed to interfere with organised crime. In 2005, one of my neighbours was busted for growing weed. The other neighbour was involved with the authorities in one of these “interventions” that involved harrassibg the guy that grew the weed both before and after he was prosecuted.

But we lived literally between these two. All harassment affected us and because we complained we became targets as well. The harrassment was serious and spanned more than 10 years. Totally illegal.

I amassed an enormous amount of evidence for a stalking case, more than 600 videos. But it took 5 years and a complaint to the national ombudsman to get it to court at all. Then the person in charge of the organisation carrying out the intervention was the prosecutor chosen on the case but he was prosecuting his own informant/collaborator on the intervention with the goal of making the case fail. He lied to the courts and withheld enormous amounts of evidence.

The case failed. It was later I found all the connections. The former head of the team interventions had in the meantime also manoeuvred onto the board of directors of the court where influence on the case could be carried out from behind the scenes. This person is now the president of this court.

The authorities turned off all police support to me and my family and dismissed every police report.

I took the police to court and won. They appealed. I won again and was able to read around 1000 police pages and found confirmation of this.

It’s an absolute disgrace. Cost me more than 40,000 euros in costs trying to cope with years of government assisted harassment simply because I lived next door to one of their targets.
