Recommendation from Eemsdelta explorer: new coalition of LBE, VVD and CU
The explorer of Eemsdelta, Anno Wietze Hiemstra, recommends forming a new coalition consisting of Lokaal Belang Eemsdelta (LBE), VVD and the ChristenUnie (CU). Hiemstra reached this recommendation after intensive discussions with all political parties.
Explorer Hiemstra: “The task was to form a solid majority coalition that reflects the election results. A coalition with a shared vision that can act decisively within a stable and recognisable executive board. In my view, this applies most to the proposed coalition.”
The recommendation has been adopted by Lokaal Belang Eemsdelta. Today, the prospective coalition parties held talks and expressed mutual trust. Hiemstra has been asked to guide the formation process, which he has agreed to do. The formation process will take further shape after the Easter weekend. The aim is to complete this process by early May with the presentation of the coalition agreement, the draft portfolio distribution and the nomination of the prospective aldermen. Five individuals are proposed as prospective aldermen: three from Lokaal Belang Eemsdelta, of whom two full-time and one 50% position. VVD and ChristenUnie will each contribute one full-time alderman.
