It is a crisis at the CDA. The gap between the party leadership in The Hague and the rank and file in the region has become too great, causing CDA voters to lose their confidence. That is painfully clear in Overijssel, where the CDA was the largest until last week, but suffered a major defeat in the Provincial Council elections and lost half of the States seats. There is a lot of repair work for CDA foreman in Overijssel Rick Brink. “We will be working hard on this in the coming weeks and communication with citizens is of great importance,” he responds.
