Former Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld has been appointed as the new scout in Gelderland. He could also oversee the training, reports the province of Gelderland.
Bijleveld (CDA), former mayor and king’s commissioner in Overijssel, will work at the request of the BoerBurgerBeweging (BBB). The CDA and the VVD agreed to this.
Intermediate advice
On Wednesday, Bijleveld’s predecessor, Gert Jan van Noort, former alderman of Harderwijk, issued an interim recommendation. According to him, the BBB, CDA and VVD should form the basis for a new provincial executive council in Gelderland. These three parties must continue dialogue with SGP, PvdA, ChristenUnie and JA21 to arrive at a stable coalition.
Talking further with D66, PVV, Party for the Animals, SP, Forum for Democracy, Volt and 50PLUS about a coalition is least likely, according to Van Noort. He advised inviting GroenLinks to follow the talks with the PvdA, as these two sides have come into contact.
Survey
Van Noort submitted the same questionnaire to all factions and then spoke to the parties. According to him, this did not lead to an unequivocal conclusion about the formation of a promising coalition. For this reason he has also recommended the arrival of an informant, who will then be able to lead the formation.
Important topics for Gelderland politics are the energy transition, rural area and nitrogen policy, public transport and housing, according to Van Noort, this emerged from his rounds of talks.
