1) Kok Kuen Chan (53) 

Founder Nederland met een PLAN. Born in Amsterdam, I successfully completed my education as a structural engineer in 1993. After graduation, I enjoyed working as a plan analyst/urban planner (team leader) for the municipality of Amsterdam for a year, after which I started working for several large architectural and consultancy firms as an architectural designer, specifier and project leader. Projects I have done include the Nederlandse Bank in Amsterdam and World Trade Center in Rotterdam. I am now taking the EP-U course to know more about the Utility Building Energy Label and nitrogen policy. I want to focus on restoring trust between government and citizens. Strengthening social cohesion in society and livelihood security for all (local) SMEs and ZZP´ers. NL PLAN wants to keep the small entrepreneurs afloat: we want a more lenient regime when repaying the Corona Loan (NOW, TVL, etc.) and a partial relief from the government for corona debt. My entrepreneurial experience and expertise will come in handy now.



2) René Groeneveld (61)

Within NL PLAN, I am the spokesperson on (in)security of existence/poverty. Within my position at the largest trade union in the Netherlands, FNV, I help fight against growing income inequality and divisions in society (rich and poor neighbourhoods) and unequal use of health care due to, among other things, forced health care avoidance. NL PLAN is in favour of automatic price compensation (APC): Wages should automatically rise with inflation. A minimum wage of 15 euros per hour and linked to that, higher benefits so that the complicated benefits system can be reduced. And everyone aged 18 and over should receive an adult wage instead of a youth wage. Income from assets, such as speculation, property rental, etc., should be taxed in the same way as income from employment.

3) Kimbel Bouwman

A.K. Bouwman (Amsterdam, 1964) has emerged as a virtuous speaker in the metropolitan subculture. He is also a neighbourhood investigative journalist, biographer, translator, radio and TV presenter, voice actor, non-committal poet and designer. Despite his diverse experience, including in education, it is difficult to detect a specific solo line in his work, but his social career has a dynamic process. He toured with various media programmes and numerous arts and culture initiatives and scored nationwide. That he is not only a news hunter but also a co-producer of new concepts is not immediately apparent. Perhaps his character shows too much modesty, but who is not aware and wary of that ruthlessness in today's society. 

If a man claims success and shows ambition, he is cool, but if he stays on the surface, he runs the risk of being dismissed as anonymous. Sure, modesty adorns the person, but with us, professionalism and perfectionism are often wrongly short-sightedly dismissed as pretentious and as phrenetic.

It now seems that A.K. has embarked on a path that challenges him anew, but entering politics can feel like gambling in Vegas. As he does everything in his own way, except for the rule, and shows that things can be done differently, outside the norm, he hopes to make himself more prominent as a knowledge communicator and teacher of thinking differently. In doing so, A.K. is showing guts, in a rich country dominated by aspiring millionaires and individuals who look the other way when you really need them.

4) Rick Bakker

I was born in 1978 in North Brabant, and have lived in Amsterdam since 2000.

I am a hospitality manager at heart, and come into contact with people so much.

Many (hospitality) entrepreneurs are experiencing problems paying back various corona debts to the government.

Nederland met een PLAN looks for solutions to help entrepreneurs with this, so entrepreneurs can do business again!

In addition, I am committed to a safe living environment. Nederland met een PLAN wants more neighbourhood policemen, commitment and cooperation with neighbourhood fathers and mothers. After all, they are the ones who walk through your neighbourhood every day and know what is going on! A neighbourhood policeman belongs in your neighbourhood, not behind a desk!

Human but realistic, I like to think along with you!

5) Daniël Bosch

My name is Daniël Bosch and I live in Amsterdam's Staatslieden neighbourhood. My family is from Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's larger islands.

To get to know each other a bit better, there should be more community places, where you can eat and debate together hospitably without beating each other's brains out.

As a volunteer, I help people who have problems with the bureaucracy of government services. Many vulnerable citizens are drowning in the paperwork and demands imposed on them by the government. Let us resolve this decently with a sound and sensible plan. Promoting self-reliance is essential for living together in a safe and liveable neighbourhood where people look after each other.

With your vote in the national elections, you can hopefully set a change in motion. So go and vote. Vote for NL PLAN, or just for me, and then I will represent you in the Lower House to the best of my ability.
