‘Alderman Groot Wassink cuts a muddy figure’ | Inland

The driver got into trouble after app traffic with his officials was put out on the street via a Wob request from this newspaper. Groot Wassink initially did not respond to questions from this newspaper about the report in which victims of anti-gay violence said that their attackers are often Dutch with a non-Western background.

Groot Wassink communicated through his spokesperson to other media that he was on vacation – Groot Wassink said he was ‘more than 16,000 kilometers away in Croatia’ (in reality about 1,500 kilometers) – and also ‘hard to reach’. However, the released app traffic showed the opposite: there was plenty of contact with the civil service. Despite this lying statement, Groot Wassink denied that there had been a lie. The fact that there was app contact ‘didn’t mean that the alderman was available all day’, it sounded.

The VVD had requested an emergency debate and received the full layer of diversity parties D66 and GL during a bizarre display on Wednesday. The two parties spoke of ‘warmed up mash’ in an ostentatious attempt to keep the debate away from the alderman. To the astonishment of the Party for the Animals.

“A councilor is destroying the transparent administrative culture that he says he promotes. Clusterfucks a highly sensitive report on a vulnerable group. Strikes an administrative mud figure. And 66 and GL come and say ‘we don’t have to talk about this.’ It’s okay folks, just keep walking.”
