Entrepreneurs fill the VVD coffers:'I am in favor of fair earnings, not fair distribution'

At dinners for entrepreneurs, generous donors come into contact with prominent VVD politicians. It is paying off: the VVD has by far the most campaign money with 1.2 million euros in its cash. "This is where access to power is bought."

Loes Reijmer September 30 De Volkskrant

Important source of income: the dinners that millionaire real estate entrepreneur Cor Zadelhoff gives. Rich entrepreneurs can participate in this for a high fee. They can talk to VVD leaders there. De Volkskrant writes that last week an extra dinner took place around Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius. Proceeds: 750,000 euros.

De Volkskrant gives the floor to one of the entrepreneurs present. Amsterdam catering king Won Yip: 'Things are going in completely the wrong direction with this country. Entrepreneurs are given the cold shoulder.

You shouldn't think about Frans Timmermans becoming Prime Minister, should you? I am in favor of earning fairly, not distributing fairly. Depositing money is the only thing I could do.'

Narcissistic business men don't give a fu*k it's right wing populism like VVD party of Mark Rutte at the root cause of destruction of society. Fu*king morons with bundles of money believing political power can be bought ... time for change.

Two decades VVD politics in The Hague ... extreme housing crisis, (Im)migration and asylum, Groningen gas fields and damaging quakes, €43bn fossil fuel subsidies, delay Green energy transition, and government embedded racism and discrimination ... a benefits crisis and tax office algorithm fraud.
