"Free money does not exist," said parliamentarian Chantal Nijkerken in the Volkskrant. "The participation Act is aimed precisely at people participating as quickly as possible do."
Secretary Jette Klijnsma (PvdA) is nevertheless with municipalities in talks about a new approach. Which calls go smoothly, according to insiders. She would with Utrecht, Tilburg, Groningen and Wageningen are in consultation.
Decided last week also the local councils of Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Amsterdam that they want to treat people on benefits friendlier.
