Esther Ouwehand dacht ‘een tijdelijke leider’ te zijn | Dijkhoff & Segers

Esther Ouwehand recently stepped down as parliamentary group leader of the Party for the Animals. And she is now, as she puts it herself, number 3. She describes how politics has increasingly devolved into a fabricated culture war, in which everyone plays soldier to some extent. Ouwehand noticed that she increasingly had to act as an extra in this. And she was done with that. We look back on her time as leader: how far removed one can become from real political work as a parliamentary group leader, and how stepping back went within her party. And we look ahead: to the course of the Party for the Animals under new leadership, and to the impossible dilemma that every constitutional party struggles with: reacting to the far right, or ignoring it? In which Ouwehand is clear about the role of the VVD: ‘it has given full scope to the dismantling of the rule of law’. #podcast #politics #EstherOuwehand #PartyfortheAnimals #podcastepisode #interview Klaas Dijkhoff and Gert-Jan Segers take an unfiltered look at what caught their attention during the past political week.
