He said that on Sunday afternoon in the current affairs program Buitenhof. — According to Remkes, it is clear that confidence in politicians and the cabinet is low. That has its reasons, especially in Groningen, according to Remkes. — ‘The letter sent by Stef Blok, contrary to the expectations that had been aroused that no more gas would be extracted in Groningen, the compensation and the discussion about pediatric heart surgery in Groningen, in which a decision was taken without any motivation, is at odds with previous mutual agreements of the hospitals.’ — ‘Sturdy passages about Groningen’ That confidence had already been dented as a result of the long formation, according to Remkes in Buitenhof. “So it’s a compilation of things, I’m afraid.” — Remkes does want to add a nuance. ‘Part of it was a legacy of the previous cabinet. That nuance is not seen. In fact, that’s how it is. The government must do its utmost to show that it works. The coalition agreement also contains strong passages about Groningen. It contains strong passages about the allowance scandal: that people actually want to do something about it with great haste.’ — ‘Heart is in Groningen’ Remkes will be the new chairman of National Program Groningen from next Monday. He emphasizes that his presidency has nothing to do with the reinforcements. ‘We have an excellent Secretary of State (for Mining, Hans Vijlbrief, ed.) for that, who I expect will tackle the problem with great speed.’ — Remkes let know before that he has a strong need to commit himself to Groningen in a targeted manner. ‘The province where I was born and raised and where my heart lies.’— Challenge When asked by presenter Twan Huys whether he has now become chief wasp nest in the Netherlands, Remkes answers in the negative. ‘I’ve literally never put my hand in that, so I don’t recognize myself in that comparison, in that symbol. But difficult issues always have a certain challenging effect on me.’ — False start at the negotiating table Remkes, together with co-informer Wouter Koolmees, also looked back on the months-long formation in Buitenhof. Remkes started in September, when relations had reached a low point. When Sigrid Kaag portrayed Prime Minister Mark Rutte in a lecture as a visionless hustler, Remkes said he was not amused. “I heard it with very mixed feelings. This was a very false start.’ — Huys quoted the drinking gossip about Remkes, where a visibly touched Remkes said that he does not want to waste any more words on it. D66 suggested that Remkes had a few too many drinks during formation talks. In the end, according to Remkes, the atmosphere at the negotiating table had ‘improved very much’. — National Program Groningen Remkes will take over from the King’s Commissioner René Paas on Monday 31 January, who has been chairman of the National Program Groningen since 2019. The start-up phase has been completed and more and more projects are now being launched. — The government has made a total of 1.15 billion euros available for the Groningen National Program to be able to implement all plans and projects. This should make living and working in Groningen more attractive. The idea behind the program is that our province could use an incentive due to the gas extraction problem. — Related posts:Apgujeong District 4 also avoided the obligation to live for 2 years...
