Bikker seeks support from CDA about medical-ethical issues party leader Mirjam Bikker of the ChristenUnie hopes for support from the CDA in medical-ethical themes in the Lower House. “We are looking for allies in getting up for the unborn life. That does not start with a compromise, which starts with principles,” she said at the congress of her party. Bikker wondered if the CDA will choose the side of CU. “That was not clear last week, but we hope so.
In her speech, Bikker also lashed out to D66, which “again polished all the crown jewels”. “Stretching euthanasia, embryo culture, abortion as a human right: they see self -determination as a holy grail,” said Bikker about plans of D66. “She calls it” fundamentally not okay to look at human lives “when it comes to embryo culture.” Fundamental legislation on allowing embryo culture has a chance to be implemented next week. A change that should not be. “
Ja21 also focuses on CDA on the JA21 congress in Utrecht, party leader Joost insists on a “stable, decisive center-right cabinet”. He loudly wonders whether a minority coalition, as Wilders wants, is the stable answer “on the mess and chaos that has been left”. Eerdmans also focuses his arrows on the Bontenbal. It is time for him to confess color, he says. “Does he go for a fet middle cabinet again, or does he opt with us for a center -right cabinet?”
He also warns his members that the party is not going to bring in everything that “you hear and see today”. “You also have to give each other something, add water to the wine. But on the most important points his party wants to” score “.
Ja21 is in a flow, says Eerdmans, and in that he gets support from the enthusiastic members present. “Two years ago when we had one seat, Annabel (Nanninga, ed.) Said:” It is good to the bottom. “That happened.” The party is speeded up at 7 to 11 seats.
Yeşilgöz recognizes error on VVD congress: “Dilan Yeşilgöz really had to be better at the congress of her party that she did not do well last summer. The VVD leader accused Douwe Bob of Jewish hatred when he did not want to perform at a party where posters hung about Zionism. According to the singer, that was against the agreements. He previously performed at the opening of the Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam.
Yeşilgöz apologized for her allegations when the singer threatened with legal action. “It was a mistake that I corrected much too late, that really should have been better,” said Yeşilgöz. She said she was frustrated about increasing anti -Semitism in the Netherlands. “But it seemed like I fought someone or something, while I wanted to fight before our way of life.”
Yeşilgöz now wants to “look ahead”. She therefore disputes that the VVD would “collapse”. “We are more than just our logo, beer and bitterballen: we bear responsibility with optimism, that is in our DNA.” In the polls, the VVD is on average at 14 to 18 seats. The party still has 24 seats in the room.
It was still uncertain whether he would come, but former minister Caspar Veldkamp showed his face at the NSC congress this afternoon. He was received with loud applause. “The more you fight each other here the tent about a conflict there, the less you can contribute to a solution,” said Veldkamp, who left at the end of August out of dissatisfaction with the Israel policy of the government. The rest of the NSC-Smal part followed. Veldkamp wishes his successor “the very best” and is willing to help “where necessary”.
Chairman of the European People’s Party present at CDA Congress Manfred Weber, the chairman of the European People’s Party (EVP), is present today at the CDA party congress. The Christian Democratic Party is part of the EPP group in the European Parliament. “Manfred, as the leader of the European People’s Party, is your mission to throw a dam against autocratic leaders and populist politics in Europe,” party chairman Henri Bontebal turned to Weber.
Earlier this summer the German politician said that the EVP is “the stability factor within the EU project”. With that he responded to a motion of no confidence against committee chairman and party member Ursula von der Leyen. That motion was submitted by radical-right parties, but rejected by a majority.
“Land craves for normal and civilized politicians, says Bontenbal at Congress according to CDA leader Henri Bontenbal” our country craves normal and civilized politicians who work together again to solve problems. ” He calls it in his speech at the party congress “our assignment” and the “DNA of the CDA”.
Bontenbal indicates that party members gathered “in an optimistic atmosphere”. According to him, the CDA is doing well. That was different in recent years. In the 2023 elections, the party only reached five seats. According to recent polls, the CDA could count on 22 to 26 seats in October.
In his speech, the party leader says he does not want to look back on “the chaos in The Hague”. He looks ahead and wants to put the home seekers first. According to him, the CDA also stands for asylum measures that “are well put together and implementable”, because “the current intake is beyond the capacity of society”.

But after participation of other members and a response in which Wawoe recognized his mistakes and apologies offer Nieman withdrew his motion.

On the agenda is the vote on a motion of no confidence that has been submitted against party chairman Kilian Wawoe. If that motion is adopted, the entire board threatens to step up.
With the motion, NSC members want to keep Wawoe responsible for the “disastrous policy” of the party chairman. It is a crisis within the party, which was founded two years ago by Pieter Omtzigt to bring administrative renewal in The Hague.

Baudet is no longer the leader and party leader FVD Thierry Baudet is no longer the party leader and party chairman of the Forum for Democracy. He makes way for Lidewij de Vos. So far, Baudet has always been the party leader of the party in parliamentary elections.
Founder Baudet remains party chairman and goes to the second place on the electoral list, because he thinks he as a leader is standing in the way of growth of the party.
