D66 will keep the cabinet to the agreements between government parties to drastically reduce nitrogen emissions. The livestock will have to be reduced for this, there is no escaping that, said D66 MP and agricultural spokesperson Tjeerd de Groot in the television program. Buitenhof.† “We shouldn’t give farmers false hopes now.”
Yesterday, a narrow majority of VVD members called on the VVD faction to move the cabinet to a different nitrogen rate. 51 percent of those present voted at a congress to call on the House of Representatives to adopt a different policy.
D66 will not let that happen, De Groot said in Buitenhof. “We have to carry out these plans.” De Groot sees that “finally after twenty years” there is a cabinet that wants to tackle the nitrogen problems.
VVD minister Van der Wal also stands firm and says that there is no choice. “We have to do this, we have to emit half less nitrogen by 2030,” she repeated this morning in WNL on Sunday.
