Bij1 conflict over Quinsy Gario’s expulsion is running high

Interpretation of political reporter Ewoud Kieviet

“The conflict within Bij1 comes to the surface at a sensitive moment. The party has just won a seat in the House of Representatives and party leader Simons stands out with sharp performances in the debate, for example with Prime Minister Rutte.”

Bij1 now has eleven branches in the country. “The party wants to participate in local elections in at least eight municipalities. That is why it is essential to get everyone in the same direction during the General Members Meeting on Saturday, for a good result in the municipal elections in March 2022. Because if the voter does not want, then the hassle is with one party.”
