Residents of Warffum express disappointment after the Dutch government extended gas extraction permits until 2032, breaking prior promises. Minister of Climate and Green Growth Sophie Hermans visited the area to explain the controversial decision, which drew criticism from local lawmakers and the action group Warffum Alert. The extension has sparked concerns about damage recovery procedures, perceived to be inadequate given the continuing gas extraction. Local leaders express hope for a reversal of plans regarding gas extraction in the Wadden region.
