Den Bosch has the most fragmented city council
Sixteen parties made it to the city council in Den Bosch. Of those sixteen parties, seven have 1 seat. That will be a challenge to say the least at the meetings over the next four years, writes Omroep Brabant† Other cities where the council seats are divided among sixteen parties are Maastricht and Almere.
Sjef van Creij, who comes to the council on his own for his party simply DREVEN, thinks he knows what caused the fragmentation in Den Bosch: “That is due to dissatisfaction with the ruling power. The voters then start looking for something.” different.” Long council meetings are expected in the city. “It should not be a Polish national day”, says Paul van der Krabben of Bosch Belang (1 seat). “This is certainly not going to make it shorter,” says Mike van der Geld of D66 (six seats). “We now have to see how we can organize that.”
De Mos wins in The Hague, despite research
Hart voor Den Haag/Groep de Mos has once again become the largest in The Hague. The party gets 9 seats, despite the suspicion of corruption that the judiciary has against leader Richard de Mos. Due to the corruption investigation into De Mos, it is highly questionable whether other parties want to work with him. “We know that parties want to exclude us and that is a drama,” he says against Omroep West.
“We like to govern, we want things to be different in The Hague.” The current coalition of GroenLinks, D66, VVD, PvdA and CDA retains the majority. If De Mos is unable to resolve the negotiations, it may be possible to continue.
