What questions do you have for Von Martels?
Maurice von Martels. He started his journey towards the House of Representatives in position number 44 of the CDA electoral list. Thanks to preferential votes, place 44 could be exchanged for position number 4. He can rightly be called a public favourite. We learned a lot about him in recent weeks, but if you still have urgent questions or new questions, this is your chance to ask them.
Von Martels continues to milk the, say, 100 cows of the dairy farm on Sundays. He will also remain alderman of Dalfsen until April 28, 2017. After that, the lion's share of his time goes to his new work in the House of Representatives. The 21.150 preference votes resulted in place number 4 on the CDA candidate list. This makes him probably the only active farmer in the House of Representatives.

The cases keep piling up
Meanwhile, the cases that need an answer keep piling up. Mention the proposed legislation on animal numbers, the discussions about the nitrates directive, an answer in the lease file, but also the attention that is paid to the situation in slaughterhouses.
A motion on compulsory grazing was already rejected by outgoing state secretary Martijn van Dam. But there is also the question of what the agricultural sector has to offer the so-called young generation. This did not even address the profit that GroenLinks managed to achieve.
For example, if Von Martels opts for the post of sports, care and welfare, there is still an interface with the agricultural sector. Because it is increasingly sounding that good health does not start with good medicines, but with a good basis through nutrition.
Facilitate, support and limit
Whatever Von Martels wants to get rid of is the 'mop policy'. There must also be an end to 'the scoring drive that leads to nothing'. What politicians should do is facilitate, support and limit.
