Folks,
You see a split in the GreenLeftLabour party (GroenLinksPvdA). As democrats they respect the elections and say that the 4 rightwing parties PVV (Geert Wilders), VVD (Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius), NSC (Pieter Omtzigt) and BBB (Farmer populist party of Caroline van der Plas) must form a coalition government. This Marxist/communist chap says that Middle aged native Dutch leftwing guys endorse a Far right government and support Israel. He forgets the nuance and to put things into perspective in my point of view. Frans Timmermans, the GreenLeftLabour party party leader condemned the large amount of Palestinians that died in Gaza, called for a Cease Fire, but says that Israel has a right to exist and wants a 2 state solution.
This Marixst journalist endorsed the extreme left youth organization of GreenLeft, DWARS, GreenLeft Youth (GroenLinkse jongeren), the independent youth wing of GreenLeft, a Dutch green political party, because they represent a radical Pro-Palestinian point of view; "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free". DWARS is close to ROOD (Red), the youth wing of the leftwing Socialist Party (SP), International Socialists Netherlands (a Trotskyist organisation), Samidoun Netherlands (Palestinian organisation in the Netherlands linked to the Palestinian PFLP organisation [the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine]) and Revolutionaire Eenheid (Revolutionairy Unit), a Dutch Marxist Leninist Maoist organisation which is involved in the Pro-Palestinian protests and actions next to DWARS, some GreenLeft members, International Socialists, Samidoun, Revolutionaire Eenheid, Red (Rood) and many university students and working Dutch youth, Extinction Rebellion and some Palestinians and Muslim migrants in the Netherlands. GroenLinks (Dutch pronunciation: [ɣrunˈlɪŋks], lit. 'GreenLeft') is a green political party in the Netherlands.
GroenLinks was formed on 1 March 1989 from the merger of four left-wing parties: the Communist Party of the Netherlands, the Pacifist Socialist Party, the Political Party of Radicals and the the leftwing to far left Evangelical People's Party ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_People%27s_Party_(Netherlands) ), which shared left-wing and progressive ideals and had previously co-operated in the Rainbow coalition for the 1989 European Parliament election. After disappointing results in the 1989 and 1994 general elections, the nascent party fared particularly well in the 1998 and 2002 elections under the leadership of Paul Rosenmöller, who came to be seen as the unofficial Leader of the Opposition against the first Kok cabinet, a purple government. The party's number of seats fell from 10 to 4 seats in the 2012 election, before increasing to 14 in 2017 and falling back to 8 in 2021.
Paul Rosenmöller (born 11 May 1956) is a Dutch politician and former trade unionist and television presenter. Between 1989 and 2003, he was member of the Dutch House of Representatives for GroenLinks and was party leader from 1994. Rosenmöller is a member of the Senate for GroenLinks since June 2019 and leader of GroenLinks–Labour Party in the Senate since June 2023.
After the 2021 general election, the party intensified cooperation with the Labour Party (PvdA) in an alliance called GroenLinks–PvdA. The two parties participated in the 2023 general election with a joint candidate list, and currently have a joint parliamentary group of 25 seats.
GroenLinks describes itself as "green", "social" and "tolerant". The party's voters are concentrated in larger cities, particularly in college towns.
