He says that a ‘plan of action’ is being worked on, which she will release next week. He won’t say whether that means Gündoğan will oppose the moves Volt has announced. “We don’t want to disclose this now.”

Volt’s party board announced yesterday that it wants to expel Gündoğan from the faction in the House of Representatives and from the party, because of the accusations against her of transgressive behaviour.
The group will vote on this on Tuesday, in which party leader Laurens Dassen and MP Marieke Koekkoek sit next to Gündoğan. The party board will proceed with the expulsion at a meeting on March 28. Thirteen people have reported, among other things, ‘pawing and intimidation’ by Gündoğan. When the first reports came in, the Gündoğan faction suspended.
Back to fraction
Nilüfer Gündoğan himself said the day before yesterday that she wanted to return after the weekend to the group.
At the table at Jinek said he hoped that things would still work out between her and party leader Laurens Dassen and Member of Parliament Marieke Koekkoek. That was before she was disbarred.

“MPs and political groups are ultimately independent in a parliamentary democracy,” the board said in a statement. “The board of the association cannot force two elected representatives of the people (Laurens and Marieke) to continue working with her in a political group.”
Gündoğan has filed a complaint against the notifiers and the party for defamation and slander. The withdrawal of these declarations was a condition for reconciliation for the board and Dassen.
