Crisis in the Netherlands

After it became clear that the Dutch also need to come up with serious budget cuts to reach the European 3% deficit rule, the French Swiss correspondent comes to the Netherlands to make a report about the crisis in the Netherlands.

How is it possible that such a rich EU state has such deficit problems, and why are there so many families that need to survive with the help of food banks? In a food bank in a suburb of Rotterdam people explain what they think went wrong and a politician from the Socialist Party gives his views, showing the large amount of empty office space, and houses for sale. It seems reforms are very much needed.

For this reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
