Hans Vijlbrief, outgoing State Secretary for Mining and chairman of the D66 election program committee, says that his party wants to restore citizens’ confidence in the government. One of the concrete measures that the party proposes is that the government will no longer appeal a lawsuit against a citizen if the government loses this case. He says that in WNL Op Zondag.
“We simply no longer conduct individual lawsuits against citizens on appeal,” is the party’s proposal, according to Vijlbrief. As soon as the citizen wins a case, the State should leave it at that, according to the party. This point will also be included in D66’s election manifesto.

Vijlbrief wants to personally work in the House of Representatives to restore citizens’ confidence in the government. The minister was already committed to this in Groningen. “We want a strong government, but that government must have given the impression that they are at least sensitive to the arguments. I started doing that with the damage caused by the earthquakes in Groningen and it has led to more confidence developing there.”
