CDA Limburg congratulates former Commissioners Ger Koopmans and Hubert Mackus for their “difficult but courageous decision” to resign and at the same time remain available for ongoing investigations.
“They take their administrative responsibility for what they did not supervise and what happened under their administration. It is pure constitutional law,” the regional branch wrote in a statement signed by President Harold Schroeder. .

Personal interest and personal enrichment
According to Schroeder, the CDA has always been a party of “ideals, values and standards”. “We expect our people to be at the heart of society and to contribute to good, powerful and ethical management. This requires something. Within our party, on the basis of our principles, it does not. there is no room for self-interest and personal enrichment. “
Vrehen case
With this, Schroeder seems to take even more distance from former commissioner Herman Vrehen, criticized since Monday by an NRC publication. According to this newspaper, the former CDA MP gave tons of grants to his own operating companies and for years he had committed himself to an inordinate amount as director of the Foundation for the conservation of small landscape elements (IKL).
Ax day
