Members of Parliament have called for "health to come first" and not economic interests in front of the gate of the Chemours chemical plant in Dordrecht. Geert Gabriëls (GroenLinks-PvdA) and Ines Kostić (Party for the Animals), together with provincial and local politicians from the SP, were among the 200 protesters at the gate of the plant, which has been emitting large quantities of harmful PFAS for years.
Members of the Party for the Animals (PvdD), plagued by internal conflicts, are meeting in Den Bosch. At the congress, the party leadership hopes to look ahead again and put the "hassle", as the very public dispute between party chair Esther Ouwehand and the former party leadership is called, behind them. The question is whether the hatchet will be buried and whether the party has not been damaged in view of the upcoming elections.
