The dutchies have a centralized identity that you are using to basically interact with everything government. That contains pensions and health related issues.

This is called DigID. It is run by a company called Solvinity an was was supposed to be taken over by a U.S. company called Kyndryl.

The dutch cabinet (= government) has now blocked this takeover.

I think the topic of souvernty is slowly landing in the right heads. I guess also ... thank you @bert_hubert and everyone else making noise there🙂
