She is surprised at all the reactions to her membership of GroenLinks. Former Speaker of the House of Representatives and PvdA diva Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven, who is an honorary member with her gold pin, embraces Jesse Klaver’s party.
On Saturday, Van Nieuwenhoven tweeted: “I joined GroenLinks today. I never thought 50 years ago. But now it is necessary for a sustainable social future! Oh dear, in the first sentence there is obviously ‘also’ . ‘ Why did you also become a member of GroenLinks?
Van Nieuwenhoven says he has been thinking about it for much longer. But the immediate cause was the reaction to the Kerdijk conference by Groenlinks leader Jesse Klaver, last Friday. He has appealed for a joint program of GroenLinks and PvdA for the next parliamentary elections. “These reactions surprised me so much, they were dismissed as shoddy statements. But if you read that speech, you can see that Clover thought very carefully. “

‘PvdA and GroenLinks equally strong’
It is clear to Van Nieuwenhoven that the circumstances are favorable. “Now I have to do it. PvdA and GroenLinks are equally strong, this is the time.” Retroactively, Van Nieuwenhoven believes that PvdA and the constituent parts of GroenLinks should have done so as early as 1981. “But the time was not ripe for that. “.
Van Nieuwenhoven believes that the party presidents of PvdA and GroenLinks should allow them to become members of the collaborating party PvdA / GroenLinks. “But it won’t happen. People still like to look at the differences in politics ”.
