As an Swedish expat living in the NL for 10 years I have made the following observations; NL is an extremely rich country but with poor ppl, comparing that correlation to other European countries. At a first glimpse NL seems like a role model country, but the deeper you dive you realize it's a country full of flaws where at the end everything is about cutting costs. The Dutch ppl are very hard working and friendly though.
Yes facts. They make it seem like The netherlands is the promised safe haven land where everyone is wealthy. But the opposite is true, everything is expensive and our governments spend all of our hard working money on mostly bullshit, nowadays. Its like a tourist trap where high and low educated people get lured in to stay but you can never leave. This all fits in the new world order plan United Nations has for us. This is how you destroy a small wealthy country from within. Soon there won't be a "country", only one big city.
The Netherlands has changed. The WEF and the rulers in Brussels (E.U.) are responsible for this anti human policies. Ofcourse the Dutch government does not go scott free, they are complicit. Netherlands is not a sovereign country anymore. We are ruled by sociopathic misanthropists.
You are a great observer my friend and it is indeed the painful reality of our country. We have more than enough money, resources and even space to provide all of the needs of everyone, foreign and domestic people. The problem is the people in power making all these ridiculous rules and regulations which have led to a steady decline of the state of our society. As Pim Fortuijn, may he rest in peace, mentioned years ago: "We have a fifth column of people who want to ruin this country from within." Boy, was he right
thanks for sharply noticing this. Also here the money is starting to end up in all the wrong places. This problem is going to unite all of us faster then we think. Sad and scarry Take care and love from Rotterdamn man
Thanks, as a dutch person who has lived on the streets for 6 months i appreciate that. I worked and fought my ass off to get back to a decent situation.
Im from Rotterdam and i am ashamed that Polish people are treated like this, they have earned my respect years ago and are the hardest working people i know. I hope this problem gets solved soon.

Great video! Thank you for adressing this important issue! I've been coming in Rotterdam for 15 years and I feel like there are more and more homeless people.

It is good to know the underlying reasons that cause their issues, and I am very thankful for the individuals and origanisations that are trying to make a change. Dankjewel
I worked a lot with eastern european immigrants but also a big problem they have is drinking alcohol. I knew so many good workers but they mostly got fired because they show up drunk at work. U cant blame the companies for firing them. We cant show up drunk at work so either cant they. I think you should take a problem by the roots and thats starts with interegation
@@ToPerfect Hahahaha, what a pathetic excuse for the absolute rancid circumstances these immigrants have to stay in. Why do you think they drink? Maybe because it isn't ideal to be cooped up in a house with 8 others whilst you're getting paid minimum wage? Ga jij maar lekker aan je Engels werken, met je "interegation".
So, why you think those people have alcohol problems? Believe me, I worked in a detox clinic, and saw these people have not such a good start or luck in life as we, or you. Integrations in the system is not possible, these people are Free Spirits and we have to respect them as they are. You can not feel or see the pain they were going true to be here in this way as they are now. Everybody need a warm bed and food, it is a GOD given right
This is great Rob, I think you explored many actors in this problem. It’s a big inspiration for me as a aspiring documentary photographer how you build op this video and actually spend time with the people on the street to compose this story. Thanks for telling their story in a non exploitive way.
the housing crisis in the Netherlands is very concerning. they have just accepted a new law but i feel that just made it worse. I'm renting but after my contract ends i know i will get kicked out. because all the huisjesmelkers now want to sell and there will be even less houses available. Every new listing i see now it only for international students because these can still be offered a temporary renting contract. i have been looking for 3-4 years and have only had 1 viewing. luckily I'm dutch and i could go back to family if its absolutely necessary but for these migrant workers its even worse. they have absolutely nothing to fall back on. Which is crazy because they do add to society as a whole with their labour. The government needs to build more houses. that's the only solution. but they don't care because this shortage is good for business
There's one big problem: lack of regulated homes. Only 30 percent of rentals are social housing, while the free market housing is by now unaffordable by the majority of people. What they need is more regulated housing rather than just sell everything to a free market. In Vienna 60 percent (!) Of The housing is a form of regulated housing. It doesn't mean it is all low income housing, but a big part is regulated for the middle class aswell. We have none of that. We can keep building stuff but if most of that goes only to the rich few, or become milking devices for the free market and bankrupt the middle class it is pointless, especially with the amount of empty places rotting out there because they were bought up by huisjesmelkers. We need that extreme change: 60 percent regulated homes and disowning a lot of the speculators to bring back property under government regulation.
@@Larolingthose who wanted to rent out before, are now selling. Nobody wants to rent out their house for unlimited time as a social house. Because of current laws renting out the second house is no longer an option for most. Their home value drops by 30% as soon as tenant is in and they can no longer sell for the market price when situation demands.
Like many crises the housing crises and immigrant crisis are fabricated: it serves an evil agenda and pple make a lot of money. Many hotels house only immigrants. Big evil bussiness.
We should remember the importance of caring for the sick and homeless. One simple yet impactful way to do this is by acknowledging their humanit talking to them, showing compassion, and treating them with dignity. Instead of dismissing someone as "just homeless" or assuming they failed, we must challenge this harmful stigma. Everyone deserves respect and support, no matter their circumstances Praise the Lord that my heart is stil warm 🙏
i wish more help for these people, i have been homeless in Rotterdam for one year but i am Dutch and have many friends who helped me. I feel sad for this situation they are in. Im still cleaning up the mess that being homeless leaves behind. We need to build housens and not vote VVD love from Rotterdam
I was in this situation about 4 times and barely managed my self out but unfortunately this can't be forgotten and is hard to start life again after humiliation on the street and there is a lot more about which is probably dangerous to speak, but I will say this much if someone can get off the street and get back to home country. There might be struggle as well so this is a massive issue to because most of time poorest people from other EU countries travel to Rich EU countries to earn money etc.. but everything is prepared to keep you at that job and mostly there is not much of time to go out and have a good time, communicate with surroundings or travel and more ( as they don't pay much)that's how modern slavery is working not to everyone but to some.
The amount of homeless people in NL that pop up these last months is more than I have ever seen in my 30+ years. I thought we did a good job after the 80s. Not anymore.
I live in the east (Bronkhorst) and they have now homeless people in towns as Eefde, Lochem, Vorden, Henglo. Real F*cking homeless people sleeping at the skatebaan and tennisbaas 😵 Never seen them here in 30 years and now seen 5 within 1 year.
Well at some point there is simply no solution, because there is simply no housing. This is not solved within a year and we still get immigrants in. Why do you think people want immigration to be limited right now? When our own people can not even find homes and get homeless because of that, how are we suppose to get immigrants and house them?
15:18 as a dutch person I feel bad, cuz I can hear the fear in some of these people’s voices trying to voice how the government is because I know there are some privileged dutch people who believe immigrants are destroying the system. but I want people to know, there are dutch people who struggle and also reach out to the government, and having registration definitely gives you more benefits, but we know our government is strict and streamline, they have sympathy, but law goes over emotions most of the time and it’s heartbreaking, please voice your opinnions respectfully, as long as you don’t go and harm others to get what you want and stay clean and are an honest human being, keepfighting for your rights. and to anyone who stil believes immigrants are the ones worsening housing crisis and get free shit, think again about how everyone around you is cheating the system with their citizenship. I know you have friends who voice about how they get money for the stupidest reasons, those are the people, the liars, those dutch alcoholics that keep getting kicked out of homes for being a waste of energy in the system. Stop being a stupid addict, your life didn’t fall apart because of the immigrants, your life fell apart because of your ignorance.
Amazing video, deserves more recognition🙌🏼 polish people are more than welcome here, and deserve way better:( we couldn’t keep this county running without them
Nice video bro, it is known that many of those job agencies just abuse their workforce. One of the productions plants i operate for, i see foreigners leaving every day, facing the same fate, as those shown in this video. Even if they are given accommodation, usually those are bad isolated and worn out places on holiday parks. They are being exposed to working hours which are very rare to see being done by dutch personell. Drugs usage is high among them, just to stay in shape, making them breaking down while working here and having no healthcare. And by default they are not being informed about rights like the 'transitie/ontslagvergoeding', making those same job agencies keeping money in their pockets. This is also why most of them instantly runs out of money after they get fired. Job agencies like covebo, tempoteam and timing should get fined for every foreign worker they fire, and should get fined for every time they don't inform the worker about their rights. It would change a lot in the industry, as those job agencies don't see these foreign workers as real people, rather an piece of cloth that you just wring out and throw away.
@@GoldenCrafteu I’m glad you liked it! Immigrant workers should indeed be better protected against these job agencies. Christina told me that the law might change soon to ensure this. And she’s also in the process of starting her own job agency, doing it the right way! (As shown at the very end)
Indeed. I work for Covebo and if I don't like something, I just can talk about it. I can't sue them because they'll fire me and I would have to go back to my country which won't help the process. Only if I got my own accomodation it would be feasible to sue them. Other than that, some places are ok. You get your own room, a job. It's fine, not because of the agency, but due to fact that sometimes the responsibility comes upon other contractors for housing, job offer, etc.
If the economy is bad like in Poland then they will try somewhere else, seems logical. Unfortunately those people do not think properly and that is the problem of some. Also the advertising they see from certain employment agencies is often not good and then people assume that they will go to Paradise where they will be offered work and accommodation. Often those employment agencies are guilty of deception! When they lose their job due to excessive alcohol or drug use they also lose their accommodation and end up on the streets due to lack of money! Among the people who come to the Netherlands with a higher education it is often possible to build a family life but here also people who slide due to loss of work or therefore turn to crime because it is easier to earn money, people who do not pay taxes also get into trouble more often because they do not know how the Netherlands works in the social field, government agencies. They often do not know that everything is twice as expensive as in their home country. If you have a job and you think you are in 'paradise' because you can 'get' everything, that is a wrong assumption anyway, but no one thinks about that, only about earning a lot of money! In Poland for example there are many bans and that is not the case in the Netherlands! (some people think wrong) The supply of cheap workers is very high so the chance that you lose your job under bad conditions is the risk that many take and do not think about the consequences! It is also not due to the Netherlands as it is often said here! It also has nothing to do with discrimination that is also often said! The migration abundance is often caused by misunderstandings about what the actual problem is! Dutch people are hospitable but here too there are laws that one must adhere to and it is far from a Paradise! Everything has a price! Wanting freedom is not self-evident for anyone, not even in the Netherlands!
Very well made! I’ve never seen such an in depth article about this specific matter. I never knew for instance that the actual rights of the Polish migrant are restricted because they’re part of the EU. How hypocrite is that?? The EU in this specific case and its well praised status is working against them. It’s such a disgrace…
@@RianneCtenVeenNot only that. It’s just bad policies and having the wrong people create them for years on end. It’s been a sh*tstorm for years now and it’s only getting worse.
Daklozen zoals die Poolse chauffeur die z'n vrouw gewoon 2 maanden laat verwaarlozen in Polen moeten gewoon terug, vrijwillig of onvrijwillig. Ongelooflijk dat hij gewoon denkt te kunnen blijven, dat hij wordt aangenomen in zo'n staat.
Maciej wist van te voren dat als er geen werk is hij ook geen huisvesting zou krijgen, hij is al zeven keer ontslagen, mischien moet hij iets beter zijn best doen, anders staat hem niets in de weg om gewoon terug te gaan naar Polen…..
2 things: homelessness is taught to not exist in our country and personally i indeed only experienced homeless foreigners begging for money. which comes 2 the second point... they aren't supposed to be here without citizenship, so why are they? how'd they enter our border and for what reason?
Thank you so much for this documentary and spreading the knowledge about the people who end up on the streets without help. I wanted however to ask you to stop using term East European. Why? Because it is not who Polish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian or any other country that was OCCUPIED by soviets is or should be identified as. Please read an article below to understand this better and not to use this term going forward. Thank you: Eastern Europe Does Not Exist Have you ever asked yourself why Lithuanians so strongly resist being called an Eastern European name? One of the main, logically understandable reasons is that this way we are associated with underdeveloped, illiterate, wild people dressed in bear skins. This categorization is incorrect both geographically and culturally, as Lithuania is as far north as Denmark, while Bulgaria is in southern Europe. You won't find any accurate political maps, as such a division does not exist. For example, Greece is further east than Poland. There’s no way to create an “Eastern Europe” in a cultural sense, as the Baltic peoples are different from the Slavs, and Romanians are different from Estonians. Eastern Europe is a fiction created for the purpose of dividing Europe, and not without reason is the term “Eastern Bloc” still used. There is Western European civilization, and there is the East. The West signifies stability, culture, and a good life, while the East represents chaos, organized crime, prostitution, and alcoholism. It’s no wonder that every election cycle draws attention to this distinction. In Western society, populists love to exploit the bogeyman of Eastern European hordes to this day. This phenomenon emerged in the 18th century as an object of scholarly study, aimed at investigating neighboring “lower culture” nations and countries. The objectives were purely imperialistic: conquest and subjugation. As a result, it’s impossible to define the boundaries of the region - it’s purely political and nothing more. But this concept has existed for two hundred years. Why does it still exist today and continue to be used? The main reason, of course, is the Soviet Union, which after World War II demanded that the United Nations recognize Eastern Europe as an official, separate category of countries. This was necessary, of course, to legitimize the occupation. Soviet scholars and politicians put a lot of effort into ensuring that this term would take root and endure. If you read about it on Wikipedia, you would be shocked to remember that according to these definitions, the boundaries of Eastern Europe extend quite nicely from the Urals and the Caucasus to Germany. During Soviet times, there were scholars who even used average temperatures to argue that Siberia begins in East Germany. This is a zone of influence and a shadow that envelops and prevents escape, i.e., turns the object cast here and there into a dependent, non-sovereign, non-independent entity. Western Marxists, together with Kremlin propagandists and useful idiots from Lithuania, chirp in unison that we are governed by the USA, have become a satellite of the European Union, and say what we are told. And in their minds, it can't be any other way, as we are not an independent nation but just some version of a "rossijano." Lithuania cannot have its own opinion or act independently. This is also one of the reasons why we cannot be perceived as successful - how can a non-existent nation/country achieve something on its own? Nonsense - Lithuania simply cannot be equal to Western Europe, because we are made from inferior clay. This (partially) explains why people so resist statistics claiming that this generation will reach Western European living standards (not to be confused with wealth accumulated over generations). We cannot be happy - all the youth have emigrated! The happiest youth in the world? Nonsense! The Kremlin persuades us and the West that countries like Lithuania or Ukraine are analogous to children, constantly needing supervision, being dependent, prone to mischief, and overall more of a headache than a joy. Changing this mental image will be much harder than simply classifying Lithuania as part of Northern Europe or starting to write “Kyiv” instead of “Kiev.” As long as Europe exists, and that… other Europe exists, it will remain difficult to find consensus on security issues.
Just another view, maby stay in your country and get a Job there? Where can North europeans go to earn more? Norway and sweden have homeless ppl, wake up, govt is against you.
Nederland heeft ze nodig voor bijv. de land- en tuinbouw, de bouw en in de gezondheidszorg. Het aantal Polen dat naar Nederland komt neemt af (het gaat beter in Polen, en Nederland heeft een slechte reputatie opgebouwd), en dit is een probleem.
@sterremonstar Ik weet niet of dat nog steeds zo is, maar verpleegkunde heeft lange tijd een studentenstop gehad wegens een tekort aan stageplekken. Zo wordt het probleem alleen maar groter. Verder worden Nederlanders gepushed om te studeren, op bouwvakkers wordt neergekeken. Dom natuurlijk, want er zijn banen zat en het betaald goed. Beter dan een uitkering na een studie Toerisme.
@@harrynac6017de sectoren die je noemt steunen doelbewust de oneindige immigratie stroom, omdat ze goedkope werkers willen met weinig rechten en poten om op te staan. Deze banen kunnen ook vervuld worden door Nederlanders, maar dan zullen ze fatsoenlijke arbeidsvoorwaarden moeten krijgen en dat kost geld. Het is onethisch om mensen te importeren, zwaar onder te betalen en ondertussen werkkracht weg te nemen uit landen die ze nog veel harder nodig hebben.
@@sterremonstar Omdat vies hard werk amper goed betaald wordt. De schuld ligt volledig bij onze overheidsinstantie. Nederland is al een hele lange tijd in slaap gedompeld, onze overheid heeft het al jaren niet meer goed met ons voor. Ze volgen het plannetje van de globalistische agenda.
You have lot of examples that it can go good in the Netherlands come with a back up money tho here find a renting room register for a appartement go work and dont do drugs alchol.
Good luck doing outside with night temperatures at the moment between 2°C and 5°C. Those people don't have tents nor do they have any place to charge up their body temperature inside a nice warm 19°C room.
ENDTIMES but there is hope: our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is coming soon for the rapture! You can listen to Jaap Dieleman in Dutch and Dr. Ron Rhodes in English on end times chronology.
This is not correct. I am from the Netherlands. Within the European Union, people can travel and work in any country. This is not a guarantee for success. The homeless problem in NL is amongst lowest in the world. The system is under stress because of illegal immigrants, but efforts are done to regulate. Actually, this is because of the attractiveness of the Netherlands. The current government, however, is not the best. It is closer to extreme right wing and some elements leaning to pro Russian ,anti EU, anti democracy. Picking unsuccessful individuals with often more problems than being homeless is not the correct indicator for the system. Wonder why so many people want to come to NL.
It is there own fault there is no poverty here in The Netherlands. Those people are addicted to alcohol and or drugs and that is their own decision in my opinion. Homeless people here have free healthcare,a place to sleep and eat plus they get 90 euros each week to spend on whatever they want. I think that as a dutch who quited alcohol and weed whenever i wanted and grew up with an addicted homeless dad that i have the right to say this.
It's their choice to be addicted to alcohol as their way to cope with the cold of the night, it's the choice of us people and our government to do something about drunk jobless immigrants on our streets. The DT&V has the infrastructure to deport Polish troublemakers and hand them over to the Polish Border Guard Headquarters at Warsaw. It would be better of course to not criminalize people for being homeless, but if there's no other way, then by strictly enforcing legislation on public drinking and disrupting public order Central-Eastern European people like homeless Poles can be deported. After all, it's part of the core EU principles people of other EU member states have respect for local law and behave appropriately.
As a dutch can tell that info is not correct, and talk about being treated like a "slave" shame on you! Netherlands is flushed with immigrants (most lured by organisations an dutch politican Christian partys) Netherlands is way to crowded for decades already. Our Dutch kids cant find houseing too and need to wait 10/15 years on waiting lists too, and we also have to pay that 20% health ansurance too, and skip therefore healtcare too. Dutch people often living of 15 euros a week!
I’m seeing quite a number of comments doubting the credibility of the film, discrediting the whole situation, and putting the full blame on people who are homeless. I expected this reaction, as uncomfortable truths like shortcomings in one’s own system, can be hard to accept. But the truth is, you can’t place all accountability on the homeless when there are clear flaws in the current system. Of course, the individuals you saw are partially responsible for their situation, just as we all are for ours. BUT that doesn’t negate the fact that the system needs improvement. Maciej, the young Polish man featured in the film, is a clear example of systemic flaws. He does not use drugs or alcohol. He came to work and earn money but ended up being fired multiple times and living on the street. Not because he wanted to, as some like to assume. Find me someone who wants to live on the streets in a foreign country when they could have a safe roof over their head in their homeland.
@robwanders Nice to pay attention to this. Strangely enough, I don't see my comment. I tried twice. I might be able to help someone with a room in area Rdam who is in a homeless program. Maybe you can do something about this?
Thank you!! Voice to the voiceless!!!!!!!!! Home for the homeless!!!!!!!!! In the future in Europe it will be forbidden to help illegal immigrants in Europe within the next few years? Did I hear that well?

There might be struggle as well so this is a massive issue to because most of time poorest people from other EU countries travel to Rich EU countries to earn money etc.. but everything is prepared to keep you at that job and mostly there is not much of time to go out and have a good time, communicate with surroundings or travel and more ( as they don't pay much)that's how modern slavery is working not to everyone but to some.
The amount of homeless people in NL that pop up these last months is more than I have ever seen in my 30+ years. I thought we did a good job after the 80s. Not anymore.
I live in the east (Bronkhorst) and they have now homeless people in towns as Eefde, Lochem, Vorden, Henglo. Real F*cking homeless people sleeping at the skatebaan and tennisbaas 😵 Never seen them here in 30 years and now seen 5 within 1 year.
Many went bankrupt because of the p l a n d e m.i c
Well at some point there is simply no solution, because there is simply no housing. This is not solved within a year and we still get immigrants in. Why do you think people want immigration to be limited right now? When our own people can not even find homes and get homeless because of that, how are we suppose to get immigrants and house them?
Damn that's a really nice video. You def need more subscribers. Incredible video
@@ratocleber I really appreciate that! Thank you so much 😁
goede video! zo belangrijk! bedankt voor je passie voor het maken van deze docu!
The idea of the jacket/sleeping bag/bagpack is amazing!!!! ❤️💛💚
We all people and should the treated as such. Much strength to those in this video.
15:18 as a dutch person I feel bad, cuz I can hear the fear in some of these people’s voices trying to voice how the government is because I know there are some privileged dutch people who believe immigrants are destroying the system. but I want people to know, there are dutch people who struggle and also reach out to the government, and having registration definitely gives you more benefits, but we know our government is strict and streamline, they have sympathy, but law goes over emotions most of the time and it’s heartbreaking, please voice your opinnions respectfully, as long as you don’t go and harm others to get what you want and stay clean and are an honest human being, keepfighting for your rights.
and to anyone who stil believes immigrants are the ones worsening housing crisis and get free shit, think again about how everyone around you is cheating the system with their citizenship. I know you have friends who voice about how they get money for the stupidest reasons, those are the people, the liars, those dutch alcoholics that keep getting kicked out of homes for being a waste of energy in the system. Stop being a stupid addict, your life didn’t fall apart because of the immigrants, your life fell apart because of your ignorance.
Great video. Welcome back to Holland.
Amazing video, deserves more recognition🙌🏼 polish people are more than welcome here, and deserve way better:( we couldn’t keep this county running without them
Nice video bro, it is known that many of those job agencies just abuse their workforce. One of the productions plants i operate for, i see foreigners leaving every day, facing the same fate, as those shown in this video.
Even if they are given accommodation, usually those are bad isolated and worn out places on holiday parks. They are being exposed to working hours which are very rare to see being done by dutch personell. Drugs usage is high among them, just to stay in shape, making them breaking down while working here and having no healthcare. And by default they are not being informed about rights like the 'transitie/ontslagvergoeding', making those same job agencies keeping money in their pockets. This is also why most of them instantly runs out of money after they get fired.
Job agencies like covebo, tempoteam and timing should get fined for every foreign worker they fire, and should get fined for every time they don't inform the worker about their rights. It would change a lot in the industry, as those job agencies don't see these foreign workers as real people, rather an piece of cloth that you just wring out and throw away.
@@GoldenCrafteu I’m glad you liked it! Immigrant workers should indeed be better protected against these job agencies. Christina told me that the law might change soon to ensure this. And she’s also in the process of starting her own job agency, doing it the right way! (As shown at the very end)
Ja maar dit zijn waarschijnlijk vaak niet van die reguliere uitzenders, maar het soort ondernemers die we vroeger nog koppelbazen noemden.
Indeed. I work for Covebo and if I don't like something, I just can talk about it. I can't sue them because they'll fire me and I would have to go back to my country which won't help the process. Only if I got my own accomodation it would be feasible to sue them. Other than that, some places are ok. You get your own room, a job. It's fine, not because of the agency, but due to fact that sometimes the responsibility comes upon other contractors for housing, job offer, etc.
If the economy is bad like in Poland then they will try somewhere else, seems logical.
Unfortunately those people do not think properly and that is the problem of some.
Also the advertising they see from certain employment agencies is often not good and then people assume that they will go to Paradise where they will be offered work and accommodation.
Often those employment agencies are guilty of deception!
When they lose their job due to excessive alcohol or drug use they also lose their accommodation and end up on the streets due to lack of money!
Among the people who come to the Netherlands with a higher education it is often possible to build a family life but here also people who slide due to loss of work or therefore turn to crime because it is easier to earn money, people who do not pay taxes also get into trouble more often because they do not know how the Netherlands works in the social field,
government agencies. They often do not know that everything is twice as expensive as in their home country.
If you have a job and you think you are in 'paradise' because you can 'get' everything,
that is a wrong assumption anyway, but no one thinks about that, only about earning a lot of money!
In Poland for example there are many bans and that is not the case in the Netherlands! (some people think wrong)
The supply of cheap workers is very high so the chance that you lose your job under bad conditions is the risk that many take and do not think about the consequences!
It is also not due to the Netherlands as it is often said here!
It also has nothing to do with discrimination that is also often said!
The migration abundance is often caused by misunderstandings about what the actual problem is!
Dutch people are hospitable but here too there are laws that one must adhere to and it is far from a Paradise! Everything has a price!
Wanting freedom is not self-evident for anyone, not even in the Netherlands!
Hi, Rob! Can you do a Q&A vid please, we would like to get to know you, the creator of these amazing videos.❤❤❤
incredible video. keep at it
@@marcvett Thank you!! 😁
Very well made! I’ve never seen such an in depth article about this specific matter. I never knew for instance that the actual rights of the Polish migrant are restricted because they’re part of the EU. How hypocrite is that?? The EU in this specific case and its well praised status is working against them. It’s such a disgrace…
if people keep voting more and more extreme right ...
@@RianneCtenVeenNot only that. It’s just bad policies and having the wrong people create them for years on end. It’s been a sh*tstorm for years now and it’s only getting worse.

Beste mensen, dit land zit vol!Nederland is klein,,en tolerant. Maar de Nederlander lydt er ook onder.sorry
Daklozen zoals die Poolse chauffeur die z'n vrouw gewoon 2 maanden laat verwaarlozen in Polen moeten gewoon terug, vrijwillig of onvrijwillig. Ongelooflijk dat hij gewoon denkt te kunnen blijven, dat hij wordt aangenomen in zo'n staat.
and on the other side, I saw many moslem immigrants living in quite good places (house, apartment) in The Hague.
What is this?

Maciej wist van te voren dat als er geen werk is hij ook geen huisvesting zou krijgen, hij is al zeven keer ontslagen, mischien moet hij iets beter zijn best doen, anders staat hem niets in de weg om gewoon terug te gaan naar Polen…..
2 things: homelessness is taught to not exist in our country and personally i indeed only experienced homeless foreigners begging for money. which comes 2 the second point... they aren't supposed to be here without citizenship, so why are they? how'd they enter our border and for what reason?
Thank you so much for this documentary and spreading the knowledge about the people who end up on the streets without help. I wanted however to ask you to stop using term East European. Why? Because it is not who Polish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian or any other country that was OCCUPIED by soviets is or should be identified as. Please read an article below to understand this better and not to use this term going forward. Thank you:
Eastern Europe Does Not Exist
Have you ever asked yourself why Lithuanians so strongly resist being called an Eastern European name? One of the main, logically understandable reasons is that this way we are associated with underdeveloped, illiterate, wild people dressed in bear skins. This categorization is incorrect both geographically and culturally, as Lithuania is as far north as Denmark, while Bulgaria is in southern Europe. You won't find any accurate political maps, as such a division does not exist. For example, Greece is further east than Poland. There’s no way to create an “Eastern Europe” in a cultural sense, as the Baltic peoples are different from the Slavs, and Romanians are different from Estonians.
Eastern Europe is a fiction created for the purpose of dividing Europe, and not without reason is the term “Eastern Bloc” still used. There is Western European civilization, and there is the East. The West signifies stability, culture, and a good life, while the East represents chaos, organized crime, prostitution, and alcoholism. It’s no wonder that every election cycle draws attention to this distinction. In Western society, populists love to exploit the bogeyman of Eastern European hordes to this day.
This phenomenon emerged in the 18th century as an object of scholarly study, aimed at investigating neighboring “lower culture” nations and countries. The objectives were purely imperialistic: conquest and subjugation.
As a result, it’s impossible to define the boundaries of the region - it’s purely political and nothing more. But this concept has existed for two hundred years. Why does it still exist today and continue to be used?
The main reason, of course, is the Soviet Union, which after World War II demanded that the United Nations recognize Eastern Europe as an official, separate category of countries. This was necessary, of course, to legitimize the occupation.
Soviet scholars and politicians put a lot of effort into ensuring that this term would take root and endure. If you read about it on Wikipedia, you would be shocked to remember that according to these definitions, the boundaries of Eastern Europe extend quite nicely from the Urals and the Caucasus to Germany. During Soviet times, there were scholars who even used average temperatures to argue that Siberia begins in East Germany.
This is a zone of influence and a shadow that envelops and prevents escape, i.e., turns the object cast here and there into a dependent, non-sovereign, non-independent entity.
Western Marxists, together with Kremlin propagandists and useful idiots from Lithuania, chirp in unison that we are governed by the USA, have become a satellite of the European Union, and say what we are told. And in their minds, it can't be any other way, as we are not an independent nation but just some version of a "rossijano." Lithuania cannot have its own opinion or act independently.
This is also one of the reasons why we cannot be perceived as successful - how can a non-existent nation/country achieve something on its own? Nonsense - Lithuania simply cannot be equal to Western Europe, because we are made from inferior clay. This (partially) explains why people so resist statistics claiming that this generation will reach Western European living standards (not to be confused with wealth accumulated over generations). We cannot be happy - all the youth have emigrated! The happiest youth in the world? Nonsense!
The Kremlin persuades us and the West that countries like Lithuania or Ukraine are analogous to children, constantly needing supervision, being dependent, prone to mischief, and overall more of a headache than a joy.
Changing this mental image will be much harder than simply classifying Lithuania as part of Northern Europe or starting to write “Kyiv” instead of “Kiev.” As long as Europe exists, and that… other Europe exists, it will remain difficult to find consensus on security issues.
Very well said! 💗
Good job!

Nederland heeft ze nodig voor bijv. de land- en tuinbouw, de bouw en in de gezondheidszorg. Het aantal Polen dat naar Nederland komt neemt af (het gaat beter in Polen, en Nederland heeft een slechte reputatie opgebouwd), en dit is een probleem.
@@harrynac6017 Dat is het stomme, waarom zijn wij Nederlanders.. gewoon niet die banen blijven doen. Alles is geld en wordt kapotgemaakt.
@sterremonstar Ik weet niet of dat nog steeds zo is, maar verpleegkunde heeft lange tijd een studentenstop gehad wegens een tekort aan stageplekken. Zo wordt het probleem alleen maar groter. Verder worden Nederlanders gepushed om te studeren, op bouwvakkers wordt neergekeken. Dom natuurlijk, want er zijn banen zat en het betaald goed. Beter dan een uitkering na een studie Toerisme.
@@harrynac6017de sectoren die je noemt steunen doelbewust de oneindige immigratie stroom, omdat ze goedkope werkers willen met weinig rechten en poten om op te staan. Deze banen kunnen ook vervuld worden door Nederlanders, maar dan zullen ze fatsoenlijke arbeidsvoorwaarden moeten krijgen en dat kost geld. Het is onethisch om mensen te importeren, zwaar onder te betalen en ondertussen werkkracht weg te nemen uit landen die ze nog veel harder nodig hebben.
@@sterremonstar Omdat vies hard werk amper goed betaald wordt. De schuld ligt volledig bij onze overheidsinstantie. Nederland is al een hele lange tijd in slaap gedompeld, onze overheid heeft het al jaren niet meer goed met ons voor. Ze volgen het plannetje van de globalistische agenda.
No perspective here.
You have lot of examples that it can go good in the Netherlands come with a back up money tho here find a renting room register for a appartement go work and dont do drugs alchol.
Zet de muziek iets zachter als iemand aan het praten is
Well stop drinking first and get your mind togetter.
Is very easy to say, but when you only have fears, no safe place etc. Its very "nice" to be able to hide in alcohol. Its a vicious circle.
Good luck doing outside with night temperatures at the moment between 2°C and 5°C. Those people don't have tents nor do they have any place to charge up their body temperature inside a nice warm 19°C room.
ENDTIMES but there is hope: our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST is coming soon for the rapture! You can listen to Jaap Dieleman in Dutch and Dr. Ron Rhodes in English on end times chronology.
This is not correct. I am from the Netherlands. Within the European Union, people can travel and work in any country. This is not a guarantee for success. The homeless problem in NL is amongst lowest in the world. The system is under stress because of illegal immigrants, but efforts are done to regulate. Actually, this is because of the attractiveness of the Netherlands. The current government, however, is not the best. It is closer to extreme right wing and some elements leaning to pro Russian ,anti EU, anti democracy.
Picking unsuccessful individuals with often more problems than being homeless is not the correct indicator for the system. Wonder why so many people want to come to NL.
Seriously just a Europe problem.
Choosing homelessness is not a crisis it,s a bad choice in a place where you never had to make that bad choice. 🥰🥰

Not a Global problem 😂😂😂
It is there own fault there is no poverty here in The Netherlands. Those people are addicted to alcohol and or drugs and that is their own decision in my opinion.
Homeless people here have free healthcare,a place to sleep and eat plus they get 90 euros each week to spend on whatever they want.
I think that as a dutch who quited alcohol and weed whenever i wanted and grew up with an addicted homeless dad that i have the right to say this.
It's their choice to be addicted to alcohol as their way to cope with the cold of the night, it's the choice of us people and our government to do something about drunk jobless immigrants on our streets. The DT&V has the infrastructure to deport Polish troublemakers and hand them over to the Polish Border Guard Headquarters at Warsaw. It would be better of course to not criminalize people for being homeless, but if there's no other way, then by strictly enforcing legislation on public drinking and disrupting public order Central-Eastern European people like homeless Poles can be deported. After all, it's part of the core EU principles people of other EU member states have respect for local law and behave appropriately.
Boring
As a dutch can tell that info is not correct, and talk about being treated like a "slave" shame on you! Netherlands is flushed with immigrants (most lured by organisations an dutch politican Christian partys) Netherlands is way to crowded for decades already. Our Dutch kids cant find houseing too and need to wait 10/15 years on waiting lists too, and we also have to pay that 20% health ansurance too, and skip therefore healtcare too. Dutch people often living of 15 euros a week!
I’m seeing quite a number of comments doubting the credibility of the film, discrediting the whole situation, and putting the full blame on people who are homeless.
I expected this reaction, as uncomfortable truths like shortcomings in one’s own system, can be hard to accept. But the truth is, you can’t place all accountability on the homeless when there are clear flaws in the current system. Of course, the individuals you saw are partially responsible for their situation, just as we all are for ours. BUT that doesn’t negate the fact that the system needs improvement.
Maciej, the young Polish man featured in the film, is a clear example of systemic flaws. He does not use drugs or alcohol. He came to work and earn money but ended up being fired multiple times and living on the street. Not because he wanted to, as some like to assume.
Find me someone who wants to live on the streets in a foreign country when they could have a safe roof over their head in their homeland.
@robwanders Nice to pay attention to this. Strangely enough, I don't see my comment. I tried twice. I might be able to help someone with a room in area Rdam who is in a homeless program. Maybe you can do something about this?
