Montana Meiland, the quietest member of the famous TV family, crawls out of her shell. She becomes quite fanatic when it comes to asylum seekers and is called to vote on the right. “Finally!”
It is no secret where the Meiland family is in the political spectrum, because they have never made a secret of their PVV sympathies. Erica Meiland is in the Noordwijk municipal council and opposes the arrival of an asylum seekers’ center. And daughter Montana Meiland? He participated on Monday in a protest against that AZC.
Montana protests
Montana was proudly interviewed at the Noordwijk protest, where police intervention was necessary because of Smoke bombs, eggs and fireworks. “What brings you here?” Asks a reporter from SBS 6.
The reality star for the Shownieuws-Camera: “Well, there seems to be an AZC in Noordwijk and I am against that, so I still want to express my support and come here. I am very curious who else is doing. There are a lot of people already I see.”
‘Mama just at home’
Why is Erica not with the protest? “My mother is just at home in work, so unfortunately it was possible, but he has the voting evening at the municipality on Thursday evening.”
Montana is not afraid that this will provide her image damage. “We always get criticism, whatever you do, so we are involved. No, you have to show what you stand for and you don’t have to do nothing, so I think it’s good to be present at such an evening.”
Turn right
It is the hope of Montana that many people will vote on the right next month. “I think there are a lot of problems in the Netherlands and the people finally pronounce themselves right and that is desperately needed.”
The big question is: do Erica and Montana do well? Private boss Evert Santegoeds in the podcast Strictly private: “We know her political preferences. She is consistent, I have to say. She really doesn’t want it and she couldn’t make her heart a murder pit, you could say.”
Popularity
The image of the Meilandjes does not suffer, Evert thinks. “There are a lot of people against an AZC and also a lot of viewers of the Meilandjes are against an AZC, so I think it doesn’t have a huge impact on their popularity.”
“On the other hand, I think it is funny that you don’t think: I have to stay that sweet Erica, but that she just says what it says. That can also be praised, whether you agree with her or not.”
