Evert Santegoeds thinks it is outrageous that Emma Wortelboer earns an amount of 86 thousand euros a year at BNNVARA. “The first cutback item was found with this,” he sniffs.
The NPO has to cut 157 million euros and that leads to a lot of noise. For example, Emma Wortelboer wants it not only to be reversed, but that there should also be a lot of money to the public broadcaster. Of course she also talks from self -interest, because her salary at BNNVARA continues to grow and has now reached 86 thousand euros a year.
Cut back on Emma
Private boss Evert Santegoeds finds this ridiculous. “I thought I had found the first austerity post of the NPO. It doesn’t really count if you have to cut so much million …”, he starts in the podcast Strictly private.
Co-host Jordi then Versteegden: “But still, every bit helps.”
Evert: “Yes, Emma Wortelboer, we will not be very awake if it is no longer on TV one day.”
86 thousand euros
Jordi notes on little about Emma’s TV activities. “She did spray & swallow.”
Evert: “Yes, and that program with Maarten van Rossem, but if you get 86 thousand euros a year for that, I understand that she is shocked by her own salary, because it doesn’t have a lot of things.”
Jordi: “She is 28 years old, so in itself it is a nice amount to earn.”
Evert: “Public money, isn’t it, we’re talking about.”
Taboo
Jordi wonders if it is useful that Emma has thrown this amount on the table. “Certainly, she said she wants to break a taboo to talk about money.”
Evert: “Yes, then she should not find it strange that we are talking about it now and that we are not very enthusiastic about throwing the NPO with 86 thousand euros in the direction of Emma Wortelboer.”
Jordi: “Maybe they should turn it around, from 86 thousand to 68 thousand euros. That might be a bit more appropriate.”
Evert: “Yes.”
