Many people have to ‘normal’ work on Liberation Day, including the editor of this live blog. Prime Minister Rob Jetten (D66) was asked by the NOS whether Liberation Day should be an official day off.
He likes it. “I will certainly discuss this with the Social and Economic Council, which is responsible for this, so that we can celebrate this even more beautifully together,” says Jetten.
Liberation Day has been an official holiday since 1990, but many employees only have paid time off once every five years. However, the number of people who take a day off on Liberation Day every year is increasing.
