Now that the elections are over, Johan Derksen comes clean: VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz became angry behind the scenes at Today Inside last week, he reveals. “She was furious!”
VVD leader Dilan Yesilgöz has had a bitter election night: she hoped to become the largest party in the Netherlands and sit in the Tower, but she now has to give way to both the PVV and GroenLinks-PvdA. Will she still serve in a Wilders cabinet? Either way, it would make her lose face…
Small problem at VI
The election results show that Dilan Yesilgöz is still a size too small, analyzes Johan Derksen in Today Inside. “Dilan has been a talking doll for the information department for the entire period. Everything is whispered and communicated and we don’t really know who Dilan is.”
Dinner guest Özcan Akyol, who has hated Dilan for a long time: “She is not mature enough either.”
Johan then reveals that an incident took place last week behind the scenes of Today Inside, when Dilan was a guest on the show and he expressed the same opinion.
Fierce Dilan
Johan then shouted just before the broadcast, in the preview with Wilfred Genee, that Dilan is not ready yet. “I kept saying that, but she was angry about it. She was furious. I said in that preliminary conversation with you: ‘She needs to do some more flying hours before she is ready for such a position’, but then I come through the door and I’m furious.”
Özcan: “On you?”
Johan: “Yes. And the lady from the information department snapped at her: ‘You said it was such a nice program.’”
It leads to hilarity in the VI studio.
“She has to go!”
Özcan thinks that Dilan should not get in the way of a right-wing cabinet. She previously stated that she would not serve in a Wilders cabinet. “Yesilgöz blocked that. I know you’re going to say I hate her, but she has to go, right? Because she is blocking it now.”
He continues: “She has a huge following, but Boekestijn said it very rightly here yesterday: ‘She is not genuine.’ Everything has been rehearsed, everything has been prompted. She always acts very strange. She also started acting very strange at the Youth News. You just don’t believe it.”
