VVD faction repelled ex-terrorist Sahla van Binnenhof | Inland

Those involved report to De Telegraaf that Sahla’s services were offered by her mentor Frits Bolkestein and Sahla herself. The faction would have refused to allow the former terrorist to work in the House of Representatives, where threatened politicians are also walking around. Nevertheless, the party did not find it a problem at the time that Sahla was performing other activities for the VVD.

On Wednesday, the party moved after criticism. Due to ‘the commotion’ that has arisen, Sahla is resigning from her work with the VVD, but will remain a member. She was asked for an additional response, but she declined to give it. According to acting VVD chairman Onno Hoes, ‘her statement removes discomfort’. Murmurs are heard from the party. Critics think it’s crazy that Sahla’s past is suddenly a problem.
