“I think it’s terrible that we were unable to complete the first phase and disappointed the voter,” Caroline van der Plas began. The BBB member lashed out at the NSC leader and said that a democracy is not for the scared. ‘BBB is not afraid to make choices, not afraid to stay at the table. It must be regarding the interests of citizens in the Netherlands,” said the BBB leader.
No sorry
‘Clarity from Omtzigt came through the media. An insult. And unfortunately we have not heard anything yet. BBB has not run away from responsibility, the Netherlands cannot wait any longer,” Van der Plas said during the debate.
“I think you should be able to express things,” the BBB leader said regarding Omtzigt’s decision to leave the formation talks. ‘It was a very unpleasant moment, but that does not mean the door is closed.’
The BBB member said he can imagine that a proposed interim phase will be necessary for the follow-up. Van der Plas said that it is only good ‘to let the dust settle’. The BBB leader did add that the outcome so far is not what she dreamed of on Election Day in November.
