Den Haan made her appeal on Tuesday during an interview on Radio 1. Den Haan says she no longer talks to Verkoelen, because she is critical of the course of the party. “I assume that if the number 3 has a lot of trouble with the election program and with the party leader, she will withdraw,” said Den Haan, who took the helm himself after Henk Krol left with slamming doors.
Den Haan is playing hard towards the number 3 on the list. “I appeal to her: withdraw.” Things have been messy at 50Plus for a while now. For example, Verkoelen is critical of Den Haans’ positions on the pension scheme. Earlier it seemed that the quarrel had been resolved, but now Den Haan says that a ‘very small club’ within the party still causes ‘a lot of hassle’.
‘Culture change’
According to the party leader, this group harms the party and must therefore ‘leave as soon as possible’. Den Haan speaks of a ‘culture change’ within the party, which is very much needed. She promises the voter to work towards a party of ‘peace, content and trust. But I still need some time for that ‘.
On Tuesday evening, Verkoelen responds to the fuss on TV program Op1. In any case, she does not want to leave, she says there: “No, of course not. I was not chosen by Liane den Haan, but by our members. ” She has not yet had contact with Den Haan on Tuesday: “I did not contact me. I must do that too, I agree with you. ”
The bottom line is yet another row in a hassle-torn party. In recent years it was actually a continuous ball at the senior club. Former chairman Geert Dales was at odds with party prominent Jan Nagel. Sound fragments of meetings were leaked and party leader Henk Krol also got into trouble with several party members.
In between the companies he was accused of dubious claims – including stroopwafels – and all current fraction members also called it quits. With Jan Nagel again as chairman and a new party leader, the party is now reverting to old patterns. Just while the promise sounded to do it completely differently.
