Jack van Gelder stays with his attack on Henri Bontenbal in the talk show of Hélène Hendriks. The CDA leader now always puts down that program as populist, but, according to Jack: “He’s not fine.”
It was the most discussed political TV interview of the summer: that with CDA leader Henri Bontenbal in the talk show of Hélène Hendriks. The reason? Jack van Gelder there was nice and nuanced on the politician. It is a fragment that has come to a lot of criticism, but the former sports presenter does not care much about that.
Not fair
How does Jack look back on it? “I think it’s a nice guy. I said afterwards:” I want to drink a cup of coffee with you once. ” I think it is getting a coffee wrong now, but I think it’s a nice guy, “he says in The Oranjezondag from last night. But, he continues, “I don’t think he is honest.”
“He shouts that he wants to go to 40 to 70 thousand as far as migration is concerned. He is walking away with that. He is talking about not pulling left, but he pulls to the left in everything. He has been voting lately, and he has not done that two years ago, consistently does everything that GroenLinks-Pvda does.”
Unreliable
Henri Bontenbal follows his political colleague Frans Timmermans in everything, says Jack. “Whether it is:” We want to punish the officials who leak, “he would have said in the past:” Of course. ” Syrians back home … He votes in everything … he just did not trust him there. ”
Jack does not only find him unreliable. “If he is sitting at the table here and he calls GroenLinks-PvdA a middle party, then I think you’re not in order.”
“Don’t think about it!”
Political reporter Hannah Warnar corrects Jack. “If you look at the election program, there are really many similarities with the VVD.”
Jac: “Yes, but much more to the other side?”
Hannah: “No. On which points, for example?”
Hélène: “Jack, you have to read it! Have you read the CDA program?”
Jack: “I don’t think about it!”
Raymond Mens: “Then you can’t say that he is unfair!”
Jack: “I don’t think about it! If you call GroenLinks-PvdA a middle party, then you are rid of the path.”
