Hennis lets Amsterdam shoot

the hague - Jeanine Hennis does not want to become a mayor of Amsterdam. The VVD politician tells De Telegraaf that she has seriously thought about it, but that the 'commitment' for six years is too big. 'I need more flexibility at the moment. I therefore decided not to apply. '

The former Minister of Defense has a past in Amsterdam. For years, for example, she was a political assistant to a VVD alderman. 'If there is a city where I would like it, it would be Amsterdam. It is the city where I grew up politically. 'Hennis gives clarity now, because the speculation about her possible switch to the capital has increased lately.

In addition to the now fallen Hennis, former ministers Schippers (VVD), Bussemaker (PvdA), Ploumen (PvdA), Bos (PvdA) and Wijn (CDA) also count as possible candidates for the succession of the deceased Eberhard van der Laan. Also the name of ex-alderman Van Es (GL) goes around, just like that of former GL leader Halsema. However, the latter is not popular with a large proportion of Amsterdammers.
