D66 leader Sigrid Kaag opens up attacking the conservative right, which she said last weekend was a conservative alliance. Kaag refers to the JA21, BBB, PVV and FVD list. Yesterday Kaag was greeted in Diepenheim by protesters with torches.
“You call it a conservative alliance, but that is denied by the parties,” says political journalist Leendert Beekman. According to Beekman, Kaag expands on the rebuke of him. Without mentioning name and back numbers, he refers to coalition partners CDA and VVD. Kaag says if ‘the keys to provincial houses fall into the wrong hands’ there is a threat of stagnation and Holland will remain ‘the mega stable of Europe’. It is then that we will not be able to build a house for all those who want and need it’, a clear reference to the dossier on nitrogen.
“He’s not just talking about the alliance here, but also about the VVD and definitely the CDA,” says Beekman. “There is a lot of opposition to the nitrogen policy at the province CDA.”

Kaag has clearly spoken out against a collaboration with PVV and FvD, she also says she hopes VVD and CDA don’t work with them as they have previously done at the provincial level. “Kaag says D66 will absolutely not do this and trusts VVD and CDA have learned something from the past.” D66 will not sit on provincial councils that opt for stalemate and adjustment, she repeated. It’s also debatable to what extent D66 will cooperate with the BBB, which Kaag plans to compromise. Whether this will be the case is highly uncertain.
Migration
This weekend, Kaag said nothing about the migration, but had already told the newspaper that he sees nothing in the plans of the CDA and the VVD. Kaag calls plans to build walls around Europe “unfeasible”. She is also strongly against JA21’s plan, supported by VVD and CDA, whereby asylum seekers have to wait for their application outside the EU. “She calls it unfeasible, she just doesn’t support it.”
Torches
Yesterday, a few dozen protesters in Diepenheim met Kaag when he wanted to participate in the political talk show Politics in de Pol. Some protesters carried flaming torches. Earlier, a flyer from ‘Strijders Twente’ called on residents of Diepenheim to give Kaag a ‘warm welcome’ to Diepenheim. Kaag was aware of the demonstration and the police were present. When she arrived in Diepenheim, people were waiting for her with some tractors. Kaag had a conversation with the protesters, but it was difficult.
