(former) Homeless man in Deventer on electoral list!
Bertus rietman - fairy tale of joy
They stand for artistic politics and want to make their point clear in rap form at municipal council meetings in Deventer. Unfortunately, the party has not been able to obtain a seat this time, that happened earlier in the municipality of Eibergen did.
Just before printing the electoral lists, the famous wanderer Bertus Rietman managed to get on the voting list. With his party, he wants the other parties to “be a louse in the fur of other parties”. On the voting list he came as an anonymous party 'List 13',
Earlier, with the Fairy Tale Party of Happiness, he secured a seat in the Eibergen city council. In an interview, municipal councillor of the VVD in Eibergen called him “Intrusive and disturbing”, and “occasionally able to put his finger on the sore spot”. And that can, of course, be taken as a compliment! According to Bertus Rietman, the other parties were going to do their best because of his presence. Goal Achieved!
The parties in Deventer had to present their plans on 4 March on how to cut 12 million. It didn't matter what's going to be cut. Bertus Rietman's party does not agree with that! He certainly doesn't want any cuts to the minima in the city. It also bothers him that those plans should only be presented after the elections. In his opinion, that should be part of the pre-election debate.
If Bertus Rietman were to get a seat, he would like to do something about the 'mess' in today's politics as a 'louse in the fur of the other parties'. In collaboration with a poet and a rap group, they wanted to attend the city council meetings as they were rapping to clarify their views.
