Dutch is the sole official language of the Netherlands, but 90 to 93% of the Dutch population speak English. English also has official status in two Caribbean territories of the Netherlands (the constituent country) and two other constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. (Wikipedia)

This question will resolve YES if English is made an official language of either the Kingdom of the Netherlands or the constituent country of the Netherlands at any time before the end of 2030, even if English loses its official status later.
