Four lijsttrekkersdebatten had to the difference between the two candidates.
It began, for many, somewhat disappointing; only Asscher and Samson, to mingle in the fight. Unknown talent within the party remained so underexposed. Also, there is no question of diversity, both were indeed at the forefront of the current cabinet with the VVD, which a lot of voters of the party dispose of it. Women reported neither.
for a Moment it seemed as if a Member of parliament Jacques Monasch also a throw would do to the lijsttrekkerschap, but he could not find in the rules that the party for the election.
Still, Asscher and Samsom some differences to ventilate.
Asscher has expressed considerable criticism on the man who gave him four years ago from Amsterdam took to the cabinet to lead. “You have the party not taken into account. You have by the gekwartet with the liberal democrats feel that we live, our values have given away,” she said.
A bitter reproach, as Asscher, although not at the negotiating table sat, but is continuously updated by Samsom.
The party members have forgive him and give him the chance to do it differently.
job market
Asscher focuses especially on the labour market. As minister of Social Affairs and Employment, he has in that area, the policy is determined.
With a comprehensive labour code that he with employers and employees in the spring of 2013 made, reforms he of the dismissal, he takes the unemployment benefits and he wants the flexibility of the labour market reducing.
it is also directly problematic. The number of flexcontracten over the past few years, and since his law is introduced. Almost the entire Room calls for adjustments, but Asscher fret not over it. He recognizes, at most, that his work is not there yet.
“it’s about The fact that you are dependent on the good will of the employer that you have a job, like in the nineteenth century”, says Asscher.
trade Unions
It should come as no surprise that he is emphatically the partnership to look up to with the unions as he is the workers ‘ organisations, the past few years, the space gave.
With his vision on the labour market, he seems to have a new cabinet with the liberal democrats, and to a lesser extent, also with D66. Differences over the future size.
The PVV stands for everything that the Labour party opposed and is therefore already excluded from the statement.
The labor party must, therefore, after four years of rule by the liberals to look left.
“I am very curious as to what the content of the opportunities are to work together,” said Asscher about GroenLinks and SP, the parties who are close to him. How tenderly the cooperation actually is, only time will tell.
Hard to argue
Asscher is known for his engaging, but also hard way of debating. “An iron fist in a velvet glove”, was his character once described by a Member of parliament. “Strict and love”, says Asscher it together yourself.
Also turns out he is a stiff negotiator is illustrated by the following anecdote.
The government should be doing business with the opposition for the budget of 2014, because it has no majority in the First Chamber. Asscher and prime minister Mark Rutte will lead the negotiations. The professionalism of Asscher quickly becomes clear when mark Rutte and the social agreement, which was just a few months earlier is closed, discuss.
“Can we agree to the social contract?”, ask Rutte. In particular, D66 wants, but like to tinker. But the premier has met with a stubborn minister of Social Affairs who does not intend his law to offer sacrifices for the national interest. Asscher leans back, his arms and says: “no.”
The other present members of cabinets have pull out all the stops for the negotiations still to make it a success.
Wilders
Asscher bends easily with political opponents, but is strictly as soon as for him important limits are exceeded.
He wants hard action against xenophobia. During his victory speech in Amsterdam he several times to Wilders – “he surfs on waves of fear” – and prime minister Mark Rutte.
“I’m not going to go there and see how we played each other by Rutte and Wilders. I’m much to proud of the Netherlands to leave it at this,” said Asscher.
This, he points equal to his political opponents for the upcoming elections.
Hard way
at the same time, he is going to moslimfundamentalisten the same hard approach to give up and he says to understand where in the Netherlands in that field the concerns sit. “Should you still be who you want to be?”
Not a soft approach, such as the Labour party so often is blamed. So are organisations not to distance themselves from the threats and intimidation in the Netherlands in the aftermath of the Turkish coup what Asscher, not a partner.
“With a Brexit fresh in the memory, four years Trump for the bow and Geert Wilders-to-head in the polls”, says Asscher any political climate awaits him.
The new party leader thinks to know where the space is. The Labour party during the elections the social, progressive alternative.
