## Resource

Dutch culture minister Rianne Letschert is set to shut down controversial broadcaster Ongehoord Nederland after years of repeated rule-breaking, including a July YouTube panel that dangerously echoed Nazi rhetoric — even if panelists claimed to reject anti-Semitism. The move follows formal complaints from regulators, the public broadcaster NPO, and the ombudsman, all citing failure to meet legal and ethical standards. ON’s editor-in-chief calls it a “worrying day,” vowing to fight back — highlighting the growing tension between free speech and accountability in public broadcasting.
