Summary
Dutch authorities are moving to shut down public broadcaster ON! after its former editor-in-chief praised Adolf Hitler — a move that’s sparked national outrage and political pressure. Minister Rianne Letschert has initiated the license revocation process, giving ON! ten days to defend itself orally before a final decision. The NPO and Dutch Media Authority have already called for its removal, citing irreparable damage to public trust. Despite past attempts to close it down, ON!’s director Peter Vlemmix vows fierce resistance, warning they won’t accept defeat quietly. If revoked, it would mark the first time a public broadcaster is stripped of its license mid-term — a historic moment for Dutch media.
