Approved Quotes

The following quotes offer insight into Manuel’s perspective and tone of voice:

“As a sector, we need to step up and tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time. On the one hand, an ever-growing number of workers are reaching retirement age. On the other hand, we’re all living longer than ever before—something that wasn’t fully anticipated when vital Dutch societal structures were designed.”

“You don’t need to be a visionary to understand that this dual effect leads to increasing labor market shortages, vast amounts of knowledge disappearing faster than it can be passed on and mounting pressure on critical systems within our society. These consequences will not only show up in the numbers but also in our daily reality.”

“Who will care for our growing elderly population? Who will ensure supermarkets remain stocked with affordable, fresh food? Who will build our homes and guide us through the energy transition? Who will keep logistics running so shelves stay filled and our international trade networks function properly? Where are the IT specialists who will keep our digital infrastructure safe, up-to-date, and reliable? And who will pay enough income tax to foot the bill? This is just the beginning of a long list of inconvenient questions.”

“When I look at the political and public debate, I see substantive proposals, but I also see how labor migration is often lumped together with asylum issues, accompanied by gut feelings, false facts and arguments. This creates a lot of unrest. With all due respect: this won’t get us anywhere.”

“The loudest voice doesn’t always have the best or most honest story. We must not shy away from engaging in discussions based on substantive arguments. Within that discussion, it is up to Temporales and me to take a leading role as a driver of necessary change and as a constructive, specialized partner in developing and offering pragmatic solutions that gain sufficient support within Dutch society.”
