Thierry Baudet calls sign interpreters like Irma Sluis ‘nonsense’ | Entertainment

entertainment">According to Baudet it is nonsense to put a sign language interpreter at the press conferences. “No need for such a sign language interpreter,” said Baudet. The government would only do this “to appear important.” In his own news, the politician calls the corona crisis ‘a dream scenario for the established order’.

entertainment">Rutte and his cabinet has received high praise over the past six months for the presence of a sign language interpreter at the corona sessions. Irma Sluis, which usually ‘translates’ the Prime Minister’s texts for the deaf and hard of hearing, became a national icon. She got her own song, a lock may be named after her and the sign language training became more popular.

entertainment">Sluis was on vacation for several months, but returned to the press conference on Friday. Her presence was widely welcomed on social media.
