Best wishes for ever. Freedom and safety. Whom's exactly?

Let's start with today, 1600 hours. Everybody who is not taking care of safety nor freedom for itself and other natural appearances: stop with what you are doing immediately. Stop. Take a break. Allow yourself to think freedom and safety for now and the next million hours.


On 27 August 2015 I read a column in the newspaper Trouw (Dutch), written by Kirsten van den Hul. The 'head ' of the column read like: Zonder vrijheid is onze veiligheid niet veel meer dan een illusie.
( Without freedom our safety is no more or less than an illusion).

My first question arises immediately:  our safety, our safety? Our? Is safety something we can possessie? We...Whom does Kirsten refer to with writing our, meaning us/ we?

While reading the column, I cannot figure out to whom Kirsten adressed by having typed 'our'

There are some clues: The first sentence contains the words ' mijn partner en ik', 'douanier', 'vluchtelingen', 'men', 'collega', 'hij', 'Viktor Orban', 'onchristelijk', 'terrorist', 'crimineel', 'besmettelijk ziek', , 'wie', 'migranten', 'ons verenigd Europa', 'Europarlementariƫr Ciotti', 'jihadisten', 'Syriegangers', 'geradicaliseerde personen', 'de vijand', 'Belgische premier Michel', 'velen', 'hem', 'mij', 'we', ' onze Europese rechtsstaat ', 'ons', 'ik',

And now in English: 'muis partner and me', 'borderpoliceperson', 'refugees', 'they', 'collegue', 'he', 'VikyorvOrban', not Christianlike', 'terrorist', 'criminal', 'the contagiously ill', 'who', 'immigrantes', 'our united Europe', ' Eurean politician member of Parliament Ciotti', 'jihadists', 'Syriagoers', 'radical persons',  'THE enemy', 'Belgian prime minister Michel', 'many', 'him', 'me', 'we', 'our European State of Law', 'our','I'.

Can you figure it out? It is too little factual for me...

Is it about freedom of mobility, to move freely around 'the world', so is it about access then the accessability and inaccessability of countries...
The questions still remain
Whoms freedom?
Whoms safety?
