Eva Jinek really asserted herself last night during her interview with Chris Stoffer. At the end she even insults the SGP leader by cutting him off very ugly: “She wanted to score.”
SGP leader Chris Stoffer has a very outdated abortion position, but is quite alone in it. The fact that his party wants to ban abortion is therefore quite irrelevant, but it gets on Eva Jinek’s nerves. The Christian party has started a billboard campaign against abortions and the talk show host is disappointed with this.
Full of contempt
Eva looks at Stoffer with disdain like the politician last night on her talk show sits opposite her. “You would rather have the number of abortions in the Netherlands reduced to zero. You actually believe that the SGP or politicians should be able to decide on the physical integrity of another person,” she explains to him.
Eva soon makes it personal: “You are the father of three girls, three daughters — and that is why I make it personal, ultimately politics is personal, these are the values and norms we support: if your daughter is raped, will you also say to her: ‘You are not allowed to choose an abortion?’”
Adult human
Stoffer talks around it quite a bit, but then says: “If she says: ‘Dad, what would you prefer?’, then I would say that to her, but let’s also be very clear: an adult person makes their own choice.”
“I hope that she makes a different choice in that case and that I would be allowed to help her, but again: as a father you don’t even want to think about this.”
‘Enough!’
The SGP is a party that stands for life, according to Stoffer. When another guest then suggests that the party is in favor of the death penalty again, the politician says: “That is a completely different discussion, this is about criminals who have taken many lives, for example. If we go back to the campaign we are talking about: what we are concerned with…”
Then Eva cuts him off very brutally and in an unkind tone: “We’ve talked enough about the campaign, I have to move on to my next guest. I can’t manage that anymore, I’m sorry, but thank you for being here.”
‘Really scandalous’
Opinion maker Talitha Muusse thinks it’s ridiculous. “Terribly scandalous interview,” she writes X. “He kept himself very polite. (…) The debate is not really fair. This way his daughters are involved in the conversation. Low. But what does Chris say clearly? That in the case of rape of one of his daughters it is her choice.”
“Will this be discussed at the table? No. The following argument is used: physical integrity. This mainly betrays Eva’s own ideological position. Which also explains why Chris Stoffer is not discussed out of curiosity and interest.”
Scoring drive
TV expert Victor Vlam thinks that Eva once again suffered from scoring urges. “It was too obvious that Eva wanted to score. It’s fine to be critical of a politician. But you can hardly blame him for thinking what he thinks,” he writes. X.
