A few hours later, Jetten is outside, while glaziers sear the frames, talk to the press. He finds the destruction a targeted attack. “They were cheering at the destruction. But specifically aimed at D66? If they had walked past the office of, for example, the ChristenUnie or PvdA, this would probably have happened. These people have let themselves be turned on.”

According to Jetten, the political debate is so hardened that it has an impact on society. He argues for the debate ‘making it normal again’, ‘without extreme language’. According to him, Wilders committed himself to that last week.
Nevertheless, the support of other political leaders does him well. Also from the right. PVV leader Geert Wilders expressed himself against the violence. “I just received a message from the leader of FVD who supported me.”
The shock is good, but Jetten says he doesn’t want to bend ‘for this rig’. “We just have to be visible on the street with our flag and buttons.”
He sympathizes with the employees of the party. “We work for our young people and also ladies of sixty who have been serving the reception here for twenty years. They will come to work something else on Monday,” said Jetten who thanks the police for their performance. “They quickly made it safe here again.”
