A striking development in the soap around Matthijs van Nieuwkerk: according to Rutger Castricum, he will be working for Omroep MAX. The presenter said last night Today Inside that everything is already in place. It is striking, because NPO boss Frederieke Leeflang spoke quite negatively about the TV star yesterday in the Volkskrant.

Frederieke critical

Frederieke appears to have indeed stopped a major TV interview with Matthijs. “Before the summer I was asked if Matthijs van Nieuwkerk could return to a public broadcaster program. From day one I have said that the principle is that everyone can come back. But there are three conditions,” she says in the newspaper.

In any case, the investigation into misconduct will have to wait, she says. “Two: the return must not lead to insecurity in the workplace. And three: there must be a certain reflective capacity. Based on these conditions, I said that Matthijs van Nieuwkerk cannot return yet. I don’t think I’m interfering with the content.”

For the stage

According to Rutger, this woman is not completely honest. “Well, I have heard very different stories, namely that Matthijs van Nieuwkerk has actually left the public broadcaster for a long time and this interview that was in the newspaper today, which I also found quite haughty, is only for the stage. It has already been settled.”

Matthijs has been brought in by Jan Slagter, the presenter believes. “He already has appointments with Omroep MAX and he just goes there. PowNed would like him too. Broadcasting chairman Dominique Weesie said: ‘I would like to take on the fight with Mrs. Leeflang.’”

‘What a t*t!’

It’s a good thing that Matthijs passes Frederieke, says Johan Derksen. “The outside world sometimes has complaints about De Mol, because there are all kinds of things wrong with it, but you will have such a bitch who now heads the NPO and with an arrogant tone vomits two pages full of arrogant, Amsterdam catchphrases. It is disgusting to read.”

He continues: “If I were him and I would read that story… That lady is from the Zuidas and she also radiated that arrogance. She has again optimally served the entire woke community. If I were to read this as Matthijs, I would never step foot in a public broadcaster again in my life.”

‘Very hypocritical!’

Wilfred Genee does not think Frederieke’s interview is compatible with such a MAX transfer from Matthijs. “MAX is also just the NPO, isn’t it? How is that possible?”

Rutger: “That’s why I think such an interview is very remarkable and really for the stage.”

Johan: “Jan Slagter doesn’t care about that.”

Rutger: “No, but the top of the NPO has known for a long time that he is coming back.”

Wilfred: “This is all hypocritical, yes.”

Johan: “Nasty woman.”

Jan Slagter says against it A.D that this is not correct. “I don’t know where Rutger gets that nonsense from.”

Due to a technical problem, today’s polls, like your vote, were unfortunately lost. The polls have now been reposted.
