Dear Reader
So now we know!
Border control also means actual controls at the borders between Dutch and French sides.
Some
news are surprising. Others are not. Like the
news that PPA did not garner enough signatures yesterday on Endorsement Day.
All in all,
Endorsement Day was a subdued event as our polls predicted. We hope to bring you interviews with the four party leaders once our news clips are ready for the next edition.
Until then, have a great day today.
