Sybrand Buma wants to introduce conscription for boys and girls again. As a weapon against individualistic permissiveness and as a means to teach youth citizenship. Thus, the CDA is the elections.
If there late at night someone knocked at the official residence in Sneek, the young mayor son Sybrand Buma knew what he had to do. “Everyone was just neat spoken to, whether it was the commissioner of the Queen or someone Mark Rutte now calls Tokkie. Everyone in this country has the same rights, the same concerns. Then it is so wrong to make a distinction, as did Rutte. “
Words matter. All those politicians who go along the past year in “societal trend of good shout what you think,” he abhors it. Buma itself always watch ‘incredible’ what he says. “I’m just the way educated.” But with an election campaign to erupt, Buma fears expletives and language coarsening voters will beech bedraggled, with no political results. “Because if what we have seen in the past year is a harbinger of things to come …”
You say, let the campaign language please a moment absence
?” Yes. You can see the campaign fever already arisen now. Well, not really Netherlands waiting for. Campaigns can not change the world. It would really be a big mistake us that now pour all in. “
But the CDA’s also already working on the election?
“If you mean that we started writing the election, yes. But it takes nine months to March 2017 and there really is still a lot to do. Because economically it finally may get better, the anger in the country only seems to be increasing. Campaigns work necessarily polarizing, throwing oil on the fire and increase the contradictions. It goes in the wrong direction. “
What do you mean?
” We are going to find what normally should not be normal. Geenstijl I always thought firmly, well, now exists on social media something like Street Hyenas. Then every day appear videos of young people to save others like it in each other or destroy stuff. It seems small, but tens of thousands look on and laugh.
Almere, we are going to find it almost normal that bus drivers drive a different route because it is thrown with stones. Conductors and ambulance staff are attacked, now even though it opposes the fire.
A journalist from Powned will spit in his face because they said something they did not like a passer-by on a scooter. This new normal eating away at our society. “
Bear politicians with their firm language not there with?
“Not one to one. But some things have me sit tall. We first had the PVV, now we have THINK, what an inverted copy of there. Fellow politicians by THINK set aside on social media. The great good to commemorate victims of terrorism jointly in the room, they suddenly used to split. That’s really the wrong way. “
Where you resented most about lately?
“Sometimes even exceeded real limits, such as opposition to asylum seekers’ center in Woerden and Geldermalsen.
It is quite normal that there is discussion. But if you stone to another city is going to forcibly prevent such azc, then it goes wrong. “
Is this the result tonight politicians calling citizens to resistance?
“And then to say that their appeal was peaceful meant? If we do not continue in any case.
But I am cautious, not to appeal to one party. That solves nothing. It is about the trend. “
What’s your solution?
“We must together turn the tide. Recognize that the route is different. This freezes. You know, it’s good that sectarianism is gone, but we still do linking elements. Groups came together. Now we have become 17 million individuals who have to do mainly what they want, every man for himself. We must go back to something that brings back the bandage. Which shows that there is more than today, there are standards. We ever had such an institute, which was called the … “
… church?
” That could have been. But which is not in the Constitution. I mean the service. “
Who is abolished.
” No, compulsory voting was abolished. But we can activate again. We have in this society nothing more that our young people are moved out of their social context. After primary school are leading surgeons and truckers never against each other. Everyone is in their own group. “
Young people must again compulsory military service?
“Yes. That find those troublemakers who might not throw stones fun, but it would be good for them. At Defense, but perhaps that service can be effected by the police, maybe even care. But it begins with the military component. Step by step, for the armed forces should be able to. “
How long does the service?
“is talking about the period. A year maybe. Or a half. And it must indeed be obligatory for everyone, including for girls, for example, after high school. That can not suddenly.
Let’s start with the ringleaders. There is a very large group that is likely to miss the connection with society. “
We do not solve all the problems with the reintroduction of conscription?
“Of course not. But it is a start. There must be an end to permissiveness. Citizenship also means you do something together. For example, everyone feels that it is our collective responsibility to defend this country.
The connection must return. We scold, about the government, about others, about Europe. But once someone is asked what he does to the problem, he gets behind his call for them to see the world. And then we scold quietly. “
Have you been in the service itself?
” No, I’m getting rejected for medical reasons. “
How much is your plan?
“This costs money. This is not free beer. But money may not be the hurdle. For it is very much opposite. Take, for example Switzerland. That has a huge conscript army. There is there a deeply rooted idea that the country’s security is everyone’s job, even though there is no direct threat of attack. “
ashamed not afterwards for cuts Defence also carried through your party?
“When we found the cuts already terribly drastic. There is too much reduced. “
The question was whether you are ashamed.
” In these words, I do not. Is there too much meat? Yes. I do not walk away from. “
How to respond other parties in your proposal?
” I do not know. I have not discussed with them. Expres not. I would not exactly a debate on the cost and the exact content of the draft. I first want a public debate about whether something needs to change. We must abandon the commitment. It is fatal if a society loses its mutual bond. “
Other parties individualization that denounces as precisely as a blessing. They see you coming.
“That they should know. That the individual as the front it has been, I think just a problem. Depillarization has ensured that large groups have liberated. But that liberation has continued unrestrained. Nothing has come back collectiefs for. The only thing you can still fall back on, is a government which thereby is getting bigger and more anonymous, because people have with no bond. The situation in the United Kingdom shows what can come of it. There collapsed a country within a week and cussing continues. The anger has become bigger. “
Rutte warned in 2012 for the Socialists, alerts you to the liberals?
[hesitant] “I do not want to point the finger, but … [pauses] Yes, this is what I do not like. It is all too individualistic. VVD and D66 glorify it. For them, for example, freedom of expression, the highest goal. That is not true. Swearing and should not insult is simply punishable under the law.?
CDA’s reign comes to service there guaranteed?
“Promises are all beautiful, but then I had this proposal it presented a month before the election.
I say to other parties if you think that something should go along on this path. I do not pretend to have a single solution, but would force a radical change in trend. That service to get there. “
