Rico Verhoeven has come to the defense on television for the troubled asylum minister Marjolein Faber, who is being ridiculed at all talk show tables. “Now she does something and it’s not good again!”
From Bar Laat to Renze to Today Inside: at all talk show tables, PVV’s asylum minister Marjolein Faber is being bashed, who is said not to be competent enough for her position. Now she has announced border controls in a big way, but that seems more symbolic: in reality there are hardly any checks.
Rico defends
Harm Edens, who is known as green and progressive, thinks Faber is terrible. “It’s so childish. I grew up on the German border. You knew exactly where to cycle or walk or run past so as not to cross the official crossing,” said the Dit Was Het Nieuws star at the branch show table of Renze.
Kickboxer Rico Verhoeven comes to the rescue for Faber. “Yes, now it’s like: yes, why are we actually doing it, because it’s actually not of much use.”
‘When is it right?’
Rico thinks it’s lame. “Basically, we always have an opinion when people say, ‘Hey, this is what I stand for and this is what I advocate and this is what happens,’ and if it doesn’t happen, we all have an opinion. opinion about. And now it happens and it’s: ‘Yes, but actually it doesn’t happen well.’ When is it actually good?”
RTL News journalist Floor Bremer: “Well, that is also what Minister Faber says. She says, “Well, at least I’m doing something.” Yes, if there are not many more extra checks, that’s just the way it is.”
Hands tied
Rico pleads for more understanding for Faber. “It is of course difficult. She is of course trying to do something and her hands are actually tied, because there are not very many people left. It’s not that I know, but it’s that I think: she’s trying and she’ll do something.”
Harm cynically: “This is exactly what she wants.”
Host Renze Klamer: “Yes, you could say: she is doing her best, sticker for her efforts.”
Harm: “It’s just a cigar from your own box. It doesn’t work, except in terms of deterrence.”
Trump and vegetarian
A little later, Donald Trump is criticized at Renze’s talk show table for allegedly shaking hands in a childish way. “Monkey behavior,” says Harm.
Rico: “I just like it when you shake someone’s hand, that you just give a good hand. I think that’s kind of his feeling.”
At the end of the broadcast, half the talk show table turns out to be vegetarian or vegan. Rico: “I wisely keep my mouth shut, that’s the best thing!”
