Ombudsman: Dutch Authorities Suspect Citizens

Alex Brenninkmeijer, National Ombudsman said that the Dutch government and authorities greatly suspect their citizens, while the majority of people are honest. When he became an ombudsman 8 years ago, he could not get an answer on how many government bodies he had to deal with. He then found out that indeed they are innumerable. A colleague from Sweden told him that he had never in any country found such a complex authority with such complicated rules as in the Netherlands.
