On May 5th, the Netherlands marks Liberation Day. We reflect on the end of the Second World War, and the fact that it enables us to live in freedom – while recognising that we must never take peace and freedom for granted.

Twenty-five years ago today, the Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize marriage for same-sex couples. Celebrating 25 years of marriage equality is about more than marriage itself. It’s also about dignity, freedom, and human rights. 🏳️‍🌈 #LoveIsLove

Human rights belong to everyone – everywhere, at all times. Yet they are violated every day. That is why the Human Rights Tulip will be presented today on #HumanRightsDay to support human rights defenders around the world and recognize their important work.

Political violence has no place in free and just democratic nations. I am shocked and saddened over the killing of Charlie Kirk, a prominent voice in the United States’ conservative movement. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and the community.

Today, the Netherlands marks Keti Koti, the day slavery was formally abolished in Suriname and the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Together, we reflect on this painful history. Remembrance, recognition, and dialogue remain essential.
