Bert Huisjes will not be returning to WNL for the time being. The supervisory board (rvt) of WNL announced this on Tuesday. The rvt is responding to “an incorrect impression” that arose after an earlier email to WNL employees that was sent on Monday, a spokesperson told the ANP.
In that email from Monday, nothing was said about the role that Huisjes had as a director at the broadcaster. The supervisory board seemed to keep intact the earlier decision to let Huisjes return as a director, but not as editor-in-chief. Complaints had previously been made about his role as editor-in-chief, because he was said to have been guilty of inappropriate behavior.

On Tuesday, the supervisory board sent a new message to all employees, which, according to the WNL spokesperson, “was intended to clear up a misunderstanding”. “Therefore, to clarify our intentions, the following: Bert Huisjes will not be returning for the time being”, the message states. “We first want the discussions to be conducted calmly and carefully. The outcome is not certain for us.”
