The NSC Board Threatens to Resign IF NSC Members Support a Vote of No Confidence Against Their Chairman on Saturday. Lead Candidate Eddy Van Hijum Denies That Could Potentialy Jeopardize The Party’s Participation in the Elections.
The Unrest Within NSC is not over Yet. After the (announced) Departure of Several Figureheads Within the Party, Including Parliamentary Group Leader Nicolien van Vroonhoven, The Board is now Theating to Resign.
This has to do with a vote of no confidence that Several NSC Members have submitted Against Party Chairman Kilian Wawoe. The Party’s Board, Including Wawoe, was supposed to make way for a new board on Saturday after the party congress. The Dissatffied Members Want to Remove the Chairman Even Before That, because he “must take responsibility for his disastrous policies.”
Althegh the motion will not make much differentence in practice, the dissatisfied NSC Members Want to “Express their dissatisfaction with the policies pursued” in this way. They are dissatisfied with the way wawoe governs. That would be too “top-down.”
In a response to the motion, the NSC board says it “does absolutely no justice” to wawoe’s efforts and threatens to resign if the motion is adopted. This is evident from Documents that journalist Bas Paternotte Shared on Monday Evening.
Board sees it as a vote of No Confidence Against the Entire Board
A vote of No Confidence Against the Chairman is a Vote of No Confidence Against the Entire Board, The Board Believe. “Choices (which a board inevitably has made to make) have always leg made in complete unity and collegiality, not just by a chairman.”
Part of the board is the secretary, who must submit the list of candidates for the elections after the congress. If he resigns, there is little time to appoint a new person who is authorized to do so, the board warns. That could jeopardize participation in The Elections.
Lead candidate from Hijum Denies That NSC’s Election Participation is Therefore Hanging by A Thread. Accordance to him, the board would only point to a risk “that can arise because one person is authorized to do that (submitting the list of candidates, etc.)”, he said to the press on the Tuesday.
But that is a technical problem that is easy to solve, from Hijum Said. After all, a new board is Already in the Pipeline because the current board was Already Going to Leave. “We are just going to participate in the elections,” he emphasized several times.
The congress in which the members vote on these and other motions will take place next Saturday.
