Motion of censure does not make it

Stem van Krimpen, Leefbaar Krimpen and D66 submitted a motion of censure to councilor Timm at the council meeting on Thursday 2 July, prior to the vote on the new aldermen. This was because he had not submitted his resignation, co-formed for the new coalition and that the resignation meant that the council could not vote again on his appointment and that it is therefore not clear whether there is unanimous support among the entire council.

Below you will hear the speech of Jeffrey van der Elst of Leefbaar Krimpen:

In the response that Alderman Anton Timm gave, he told how he has created distance in the formation process in recent months and that he had also obtained information about whether or not to resign.

Various parties called for the motion to be withdrawn. Sharon Tollenaar (VVD) even gave a sound recording of last January 7. Arrèn van Tienhoven (SGP was sorry and not the moment that this bomb was dropped in the middle of the meeting. Reinier Cornet (CU) personally thinks it was going too far that the motion was already submitted before talking to the councilor. Miedema (CDA) was baffled, because it was a real bomb, that the atmosphere was good beforehand and that there was sharp debate and that it was good, and that the council filed the motion without preparation and also called for the motion to be returned. Saskia Bijl (Krimpens Belang) also called for the motion to be withdrawn.

Below you can hear the reactions of the different parties:

Larry Köster (D66) was addressed and hoped with a vote to clarify whether there was a real mandate for Alderman Timm, because before Anton Timm was sworn in as Alderman there were also opposing voters of parties who are now in the coalition . Whether there would be enough support for the councilor in the new Team in a new program.

Arrèn van Tienhoven (SGP) found this a baffling position. Because votes are unanimous and at that time the mandate was given to the councilor. Reinier Cornet (CU) then gave Köster a small lesson in municipal law. The mandate has nothing to do with these arguments. Whatever agreement the alderman has to work with, the mandate applies for the entire period of 4 years.

The mayor concluded the discussion with the following fact: "You can pass a censure every month, the councilor is only gone if he is fired or if there have been elections. Nobody fires a vote of disapproval for clarity. So if you thought you voted on the appointment of an alderman with such a motion, that is simply wrong on procedure. "

The vote for the motion then followed. The motion voted in favor of Livable Shrink with 3 votes, D66 with 1 vote and the Voice of Shrink with 4 votes. The motion was therefore rejected by the city council.

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

Largest water lily in the world blooms in Leiden

The oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, has a wonderful pineapple scent. That means that the Victoria Amazonica is in bloom. With leaves that can grow up to two meters wide, this is the largest water lily in the world and its flowers smell like pineapple. The flower of the Victoria Amazonica is a night bloomer and only blooms in high summer. What is special is that the water lily only blooms for two nights. Rogier de Vugt, cashier of the Leiden Hortus Botanicus, knows everything about the plant. "The first night the flower is white and gives off a strong pineapple smell, which attracts beetles. The second night the flower turns pink and has no smell anymore. The beetles still come to it and are covered with pollen", explains De Vugt. Because the plant has an enormous size, only one can grow in the pond of the Hortus. "The leaves have raised edges, so they can't grow over each other, so they can't get any light anymore. Th
