Cohen steps down

This cannot but help the social-democrats. As Cohen himself admitted, he has been insufficiently able to create a good profile for the PvdA.

Especially last week, there was a lot of criticism of him, both from the left and from the right. New party chairman Spekman wants to turn the PvdA left, while another faction led by MP Timmermans want to steer the PvdA back right to Purple waters.

No hint of a successor yet. Even worse: no clue whether the successor is going to be appointed internally or whether there’ll be a party-wide election, as Spekman wants.

This is the political blog of Peter-Paul Koch, mobile platform strategist, consultant, and trainer, in Amsterdam. It’s a hobby blog where he follows Dutch politics for the benefit of those twelve foreigners that are interested in such matters, as well as his Dutch readers.
