It's traditional on the 6th of June to take some action against fascists so I just voted in the EU Parliament election.

I voted for Max van den Berg:

https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_van_den_Berg

Why this guy in particular ? He was one of the people behind the Verkeerscirculatieplan which came into force in Groningen in 1977 and which removed most cars from the city centre. It's possible that without that action happening and helping to set off a series of similar events in other cities we might never have decided to come and live in the Netherlands. That's worth honoring, IMO.

Later he did many other good things such as working for Oxfam/Novib.

That's my reason to vote for a 78 year old white guy who I know won't represent us this time around. I hope that he sees that people appreciate what he did for us all. My vote, like others for people lower in the list, are reallocated and help to send younger people higher in the list for the same party to Brussels.

(Someone else with the same name was in the news a couple of years ago for threatening a politician. I'd like to make it clear that this is not the same person).

We hebben een sterk, groen en sociaal Europa nodig als antwoord op de klimaatcrisis, de groeiende ongelijkheid en de opkomst van radicaal-rechts. Daar kunnen we voor kiezen bij de Europese verkiezingen op donderdag 6 juni.

Jij stemt toch ook? #StemVoorEuropa #StemGroenLinksPvdA
