Carice van Houten is perhaps best known as 'Melisandre' in the iconic TV show Game of Thrones, a performance for which she has been recognized with an Emmy Award nomination in 2019.

Dutch critical comments under the Youtube above here:
@normadesmond6017 2 months ago She flies 3 times a week from the Netherlands to the UK to see her boyfriend.
@henkverhoeven1256 3 months ago Does she say something new? No. Why now? Because it is completely safe now. Make a plea for nuclear energy. Now that would be courages.
@hollanddutchman3169 8 days ago Sad case, cancel that woman
@user-d32658 4 months ago In Holland we call her Wappie.
Wappie is a pejorative concept that originated in Dutch language in the 1990s. It indicates a strange state of mind in which one has lost one's way, or a strange person, a wandering spirit or 'crazy'. The term is therefore an instrument for character assassination. It can also mean 'being involved in conspiracy theories' or 'being under the influence of narcotics' or 'not of sound mind'. (P.S.- Carice van Houten is not a drugs -narcotics- user)
Yes, in the Netherlands she receives resistance from conservative and farmers interests voices. She is not that popular. But she is popular in leftist, environmental and young university student and high school pupils environments.

14 sep 2023 Police in the Netherlands arrested over 3,000 climate activists this week during ongoing protests against government subsidies given to planet-heating fossil fuels.
The protests continued on the fifth consecutive day on Wednesday, 13 September, with hundreds of people blocking a major highway which connects to The Hague, the seat of the Dutch government.
The global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion said it would continue till the Dutch government stopped using public funds to subsidise the oil and gas industry, as they have done in recent months.
According to a report published last week by the Center for Research on Multinational Corporations, these subsidies total around €37.5bn (£32.23bn) each year.
Burning fossil fuels – such as coal, oil and gas – is responsible for the majority of carbon pollution that is heating the world and fuelling more extreme weather and disasters.

Climate activists block A12 in The Hague for eighth day in a row; removed by policeAn Extinction Rebellion protest on the Utrechtsebaan in The Hague led to dozens of arrests. 6 July 2022 .The estimated several hundred climate activists who blocked the A12 highway in The Hague on Saturday have been removed from the road by the police.
Several hundred climate activists are blocking the A12 highway in The Hague on Saturday for the eighth day in a row. They are protesting against government measures that support the fossil fuel industry. The Police used water cannons after some time.
Dutch citizens and entrepreneurs whom use that A12 highway to go to their Job in The Hague or other cities and towns and to drive back to their home after work. And they get increasingly annoyed by these roadblocks of radical climate activists. I (Pieter) often use this highway to drive from the East to the West of the Netherlands. The A12 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands. The road connects the city of The Hague with the German border, near Zevenaar, and the German Autobahn BAB 3. On its way, it crosses three Dutch provinces: South Holland, Utrecht, and Gelderland.

My self-speaking only, but, I may not speak out how badly I hate protesters, and especially those as depicted in blocking the roadways of those that are working people must travel to their work and home. Those protesters for the most part are doing this as their work and are paid to do so {organizers and key participants}, They care not of others then becoming a stye in the eye of progress. If to ask most any of the harm to us as people of which they are protesting against, most would only offer a blank mind, only what they are told to do.

Karl,
These Extinction Rebellion, Milieu Defensie (Environmental Defense), Wakker Dier ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakker_Dier ), Party for the Animals (Dutch: Partij voor de Dieren; PvdD), Green Peace, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Deep Green Resistance (DGR), and the Anarcho-primitivism of the eco-terrorist Ted Kaczynski are facts of the 20th and 21th century. The movement will grow and become more radical. Demonstration in Berlin, 2019Pieter
