Centraal Goes Quiet, a Wine Bottle Tests the Settlement Ban, and Ladders for Toads

Amsterdam Centraal had no trains at all on Saturday, and service is still reduced through Monday. A former SGP MP bought Israeli wine on purpose to test the new ban on settlement goods, the cabinet's budget offer mostly pays off for PRO, and cleaners are getting ready to strike again. Also today: the University of Amsterdam's wartime apology, Demi Vollering's second title in a week, and the little ladders saving Dutch toads.
