Let me explain why I think this headline is much better than if it'd said "Holland loses Eurozone battle"
No, I dont approve of thinking in terms of win-lose outcomes in EU politics. All EU decisions r a compromise, always
But @telegraaf has a large eurosceptic readership.

I worry about the events of past 2 weeks -- #ESM, MinFin Hoekstra's lack of empathy & governments singling out the Dutch for special criticism -- how it might fuel Dutch eurosceptics (general elex in March 2021 and eurosceptic parties are waiting to pounce).

A tabloid is gonna be a tabloid. I dont expect nuance or diplomatic finesse from them
So, even though I deplore the "victory" headline, it is much better than the reverse in terms of how it shapes perceptions amng their (eurosceptic) readers
Whatever yesterday's result
