Koepelorganisatie NPO gaat minister Rianne Letschert (Media, D66) alsnog vragen de licentie in te trekken van omroep Ongehoord Nederland. Twee weken geleden stuurde de NPO de omroepen, die de NPO al eerder vroegen dit verzoek bij de minister te doen, nog een brief waarin ze uitlegden hiervoor geen ’juridische grondslag’ te zien. Mede dankzij de minister zien ze die basis nu wel.

Treuzelgedrag van het kabinet omtrent het verbod op gezichtsbedekkende kleding bij demonstraties leidt tot boze reacties in de Tweede Kamer. Ministers Van Weel (Justitie en Veiligheid) en Heerma (Binnenlandse Zaken) hebben de Kamer laten weten de voet van het gaspedaal te willen halen als het gaat om het maken van zo’n wet. ’Kwalijk’ en ’slap’, vinden oppositieleden. Ook bij de VVD leidt het gebrek aan daadkracht tot ontevredenheid.
