NSC MP Holman aroused astonishment on Wednesday. First of all, he demands that agricultural minister Femke Wiersma (BBB) agrees with requirements that the environmental activists of MOB, known from nitrogen fighter Johan Vollenbroek, take over. They are willing to temporarily stop new lawsuits (old are not withdrawn, is the fear in the room) if their proposals are granted. It leads to frowned eyebrows and anger at BBB for woman Caroline van der Plas, who believes that NSC is going in ‘Pure Chantage’. She accuses NSC of abandoning farmers.
NSC takes ‘finally’ through
It also leads to astonishment at PvdA/GL MP Laura Bromet. She compliments NSC for the new setup. And also in the animal party and D66, MPs are rolling on the proverbial tables: they see that NSC is finally ‘continued’. “Very brave and very beautiful,” it sounds there.
‘Slow nitrogen approach Cabinet ensures billions of damage’, employers and provinces sound alarms
But Holman’s attitude is for SGP member André Flach the moment that ‘the mask has lost off’. He notes that the coalition party has been opposing opposition for ages, but now openly tries to put a spoke in the wheels of the Agricultural Minister. Flach doesn’t feel like pulling up with Mob. He blames the environmental club in ‘almost bloodthirsty manner’ to deal with farmers: partly because they start lawsuits against PAS servants. These are farmers who have been illegally declared illegal because of the government. Mob wants to start ten legal procedures every week to tackle these companies. Only if the government embraces their points plan, are they willing to refrain from this.
Femke Wiersma in Tears
Agricultural Minister Femke Wiersma says he had been in contact with MOB last week, although she has ‘moral resistance’ because of the enforcement requests made against PAS-Melders. Moments later, the minister bursts into tears. “I know what it means on the farmyard,” says the minister. According to Wiersma, a ‘kind of blackmail’ is also not the way to talk to each other. Moreover, not so long ago, Mob came with ‘unreasonable’ requirements, the minister believes. In this way the environmental activists also want to close Tata Steel and halve Schiphol. “I am not going into unreasonable demands,” said Wiersma.
‘Safety goes for nitrogen rules’
Holman announces that – before he leaves the Chamber, since he does not want to set himself re -eligible – he will soon present his own proposal for land -bound livestock farming (the number of animals per hectare is then recorded). “It is free to make initiative laws,” Wiersma bit the NSC member. As long as he has not submitted that plan, the minister will not give a judgment about it either. Although Holman blows high from the tower prior to the debate and threatens with ‘far -reaching consequences’, those words in the debate turn out to be worth little. The NSC member on his way to the exit of parliament appears to have ‘confidence’ that the minister ‘picks up the glove’. If she does not, according to Holman, the Netherlands will remain in the nitrogen lock. “Then one is responsible for that, and that is the minister.”
