Speech from the President of Verenigd Nederland

Day 3,108, 01:57 Published in Netherlands Netherlands by Henry Ackerman


My fellow citizens of the Netherlands, Mr. President, well-respected congressmen/-women and fellow party members,

It has been a week since my appointment as Party President of VN and I'm starting to feel more and more familiar with the Dutch political atmosphere. I'm receiving a lot of support from inside as well as outside my party and for that I'm very thankful. But the fact that I'm in this seat, doesn't say much. People have been praising me saying that I'm 'very active'. My fellow countrymen and -women, I don't want to be just 'active', I want to truly make a difference. Our land is in political turmoil and that is just unacceptable. I'm going to be very honest with all of you: I haven't been around for a long time and I do not know the exact details of our problem. However, with the help of my fellow party members I am working each and every day to try to get to the bottom of this. Up until now it has led me to the following conclusion.

I understand the reason why President Tonie had to run for CP in the previous month. I also understand the way Congress reacted to his reign. It has completely divided us and now we are stuck with an unstable government. The important thing, that everyone must realize, is that everything that has been done, has been for the good sake of our nation. It is time for us to accept that and move over, because pointing fingers won't lead us anywhere. We have to focus on the things that really matter for the Netherlands and our citizens. We are in this TOGETHER, so we have to solve this TOGETHER!

This stalemate has to be broken. I call for a political revolution. A revolution which will be televised and which will create an environment of opennes and reconstruction of the old governmental establishment. That is the only way our politics will work. We have a tradition of communicating with each other of compromising with each other. So I invite you, all of you, to stand behind me, whether you're from VN, DemNL, ReL, I&W or GPN, and follow me towards justice and unity. That is the only way to make our country the greatest.

Let us make OUR Netherlands UNITED again! Vote Verenigd Nederland for Congress!

Henri the Eleventh
