FACT CHECK #EOGHOZVB

EXHIBIT A

What you submitted

WHAT WE FOUND

Hi there! I've carefully looked through the records to help you out with this claim. According to official data from the Netherlands' Central Bureau of Statistics, it is true that as of January 1, 2025, the foreign-born population of the Netherlands reached 16.8 percent 1. We also know that migration is a primary driver for the country's population growth 3. However, the sources provided do not contain the 4.1 percent figure for January 2001, and there is no mention of a specific person named MichaeloKeeffe 1 2 5. Because we are missing that historical data point and information about the claimant in these specific documents, we cannot fully confirm or deny the entire statement 4 7.
