Member of Parliament Wybren van Haga (Belang van Nederland) files a report after a man broke into his home on Thursday, reports the AD Friday. Van Haga was present at the nitrogen debate at that time.
A team from the security department of the House of Representatives supports him with the report, a spokesperson confirmed to the newspaper.
“It is very intimidating and threatening that someone forcibly gains access to your home,” Van Haga said. NOS† His wife and daughter were at home at the time.
Three installers were also present in the house to install an alarm system. According to Van Haga, they threw the man out and called the police. “‘Where is Van Haga?’ he shouted. He was confused and also talked about a machine gun and a chessboard,” said the MP.
Van Haga drew attention to the incident during the nitrogen debate. According to him, the incident may be related to the use of sharp language. “All group leaders now have alarm systems and their houses are secured. It is of course not the case that it can be directly linked and I know that we are comparing each other, but we have to stop this, because this is really going too far. “
Several MPs condemn the incident. That is how D66 party chairman Jan Paternotte calls it a horror for Van Haga, his family and democracy.
Minister Van der Wal also makes a declaration
Earlier in the day it was announced that Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Christianne van der Wal had reported a death threat. During the farmers’ protest, her name and that of the late Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh were on the back of a truck.
Behind the names of the politician and filmmaker were their dates of death. Van der Wal had a cross and a question mark.
After Van der Wal presented her nitrogen plans exactly two weeks ago, dozens of farmers went to her home in the evenings with tractors to make up their minds. Politicians also reacted indignantly to this.
