Radboud University in Nijmegen banned the well-known professor Esther-Mirjam Sent, almost national chairman of the PvdA, from her department at the university due to accusations of intimidation and inappropriate behavior. She was later transferred to another off-site department, De Gelderlander reports.
Members of the PvdA and GroenLinks will be able to announce from Monday whether the two parties should enter the parliamentary elections together with a joint election program and a joint list of candidates. The party leaders of the PvdA and GroenLinks themselves already believe that they should "join forces." They are now asking members for their support, said PvdA leader Attje Kuiken.
The PvdA is surprised by Lilianne Ploumen's decision to resign as party leader and MP, the party said in a response on Tuesday. GroenLinks leader Jesse Klaver assumes that Ploumen's successor will continue the collaboration between the two parties.
