🔴 LIVE aus Leeuwarden – Stimmen nach dem Gerichtsverfahren | Arne Schmitt berichtet

Overview

The livestream takes place outside a courthouse in Leeuwarden after a hearing in a civil case brought by seven plaintiffs against the Dutch state, Bill Gates, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and former prime minister Mark Rutte. The plaintiffs’ allegations—that the COVID-19 vaccines were a genetic experiment or bioweapon—are presented by the speakers as claims in the lawsuit, not as findings established by the court.

Hearing and proceedings

Arne Schmitt interviews people who attended or followed the hearing. Mark de Jong, who watched the livestream from a nearby pub because the courtroom’s limited seating was already full, describes the day as the start of the case’s substantive phase. He says three earlier sessions dealt with procedural questions, while this hearing began examining evidence. According to him, video testimony from four of the six expert witnesses was shown during a hearing that lasted about three hours and nineteen minutes.

De Jong says the judge had previously resisted hearing the experts orally. He suggests that growing public and international attention may have influenced the decision to admit the evidence. He also criticizes the proceedings, saying the plaintiffs’ lawyer, Peter Stassen, was not given a chance to respond in court to arguments from the defence. De Jong expects Stassen may address those arguments in writing and urges viewers to watch the court livestream and form their own opinions. No date for the next hearing is given.

Attendees’ perspectives

A second attendee, identified as Bas, says he was seated behind Stassen and has followed the case closely. He expresses strong anti-vaccine and anti-institutional views, arguing that the defendants and judges should publicly accept a dose of the vaccines if they consider them safe. He also accuses officials and lawyers of dishonesty and corruption, and makes sweeping comparisons between contemporary European politics and fascism. These are his opinions, not independently substantiated claims in the report.

Alice Boschman, who identifies herself as a former police officer, says she has filed a criminal complaint in the Netherlands. She alleges that evidence and witnesses are being kept out of the process and argues that the legal system needs scrutiny and reform.

Media coverage and closing

The speakers criticize the lack of mainstream Dutch media coverage and praise independent livestreamers for making the proceedings accessible.

The broadcast ends with Schmitt thanking viewers and participants. He says he plans to attend another event on Saturday and encourages people across countries to support one another.
