BBB faction in Overijssel falling apart; Provincial coalition loses its majority

NL Times  

The BoerBurgerBeweging in Overijssel is falling apart. Six of the 15 members of the Provincial Council have left the faction due to a “recent irreconcilable difference,” taking the coalition’s majority with them, RTV Oost reported. We will continue to work on a resilient local democracy in which we still strive for a political climate in which we are there for all residents of Overijssel and the general interest takes precedence over individual interests.” According to Van den Brink, there have been tensions within the Overijssel BBB for months about how to deal with individual and general interests. Van den Brink denies that the wind turbine plans are the reason for this split, but did call the policy “difficult for us,” according to the broadcaster. MP Lilian Helder suddenly resigned over “irreconcilable differences” with BBB party leader Caroline van der Plas.
