Frans Timmermans wants to visit the right-wing TV news news of the day, but he doesn’t want to be broadcast with Wierd Duk. “I think that’s a shame, because that is of course nice TV.”
It has become a fixture in the eve of SBS 6: the right-wing TV news news of the day. Yesterday it was announced that the TV channel will also continue with the program in 2026. The current affairs section reaches a large conservative audience, but Frans Timmermans still wants to make an attempt to win those people.
Frans is coming anyway
In fact, GroenLinks-PvdA leader Timmermans also wants to go to today Inside, Wilfred Genee also reveals in the program. “Frans Timmermans has indicated that he wants to come.”
Johan Derksen: “Oh, you think that’s good news?”
Wilfred: “You suggested the name of Jesse Klaver and of course he saw that and suddenly he could. He can do next Monday.”
“I think it’s great”
Table guest Raymond Mens really likes that Timmermans wants to come. “I seriously think it’s great.”
Wilfred jokingly: “No, we have canceled, because then our own viewing figure cannon (Valentijn Driessen, ed.) Of course!”
Raymond: “No, no, no.”
Wilfred: “You think he should come?”
Raymond: “Of course!”
Vegetable snacks
Johan then jokes about the fact that Frans has lost so much weight. “Then we have to make sure that we have some vegetable snacks for him, right?”
Wilfred: “Just do Monday, Timmermans?”
Raymond: “Yes.”
Johan: “In principle, Frans Timmermans is a very nice man. With wrong ideas.”
Raymond: “He is also the leader of one of the largest parties and it is very often about him. Then it is good to put him at the table once.”
A pity
Telegraaf journalist Wierd Duk, the fixed Wednesday guest of VI, is disappointed. “A pity that he doesn’t come on a Wednesday then. And Wilders comes on a Friday, I read.”
Johan: “Yes, they do it that they are not with you.”
Wierd: “Yes, exactly, yes.”
Wilfred: “You wanted to tackle those Wilders for a moment?”
Wierd: “Well, Wilders is too, but Timmermans does. He doesn’t want to come to news of the day when I’m there. I think that’s a shame, because that is of course nice TV.”
‘There have been many’
There are many people who have difficulty with Wierd, because he would be too conservative. René van der Gijp does not want to sit next to him either. “Many guests have that,” said Raymond.
Wierd laughs: “Yes, it runs empty there! There will be no dog anymore! Yes, too bad. Who will come here on a Wednesday until the elections?”
Wilfred: “Mona Keijzer probably. That’s reasonable in the right corner, right? You can live with that.”
