'Elitist' Wijlre Castle collection preserved for Limburg under fierce protest from PVV

After 'rescuing' the Limburg Symphony Orchestra and securing a budget for the opera, the PVV had to once again explore the limits of its own opportunism. Indeed, the already disintegrated group was vehemently opposed to securing the unique private art collection of Castle Wijlre on the grounds that this collection of world-renowned artworks would not be understood by ordinary Limburgers. And so now the CDA helped the Limburg opposition gain a majority in favour of buying the castle and collection. While they had still said in June during coalition negotiations that they were against it.

But so is the CDA. The PVV is now faced with the choice of ejecting the dervish-turned-party from the coalition, or implementing a majority decision.

Enfin. Little fresh all, and you can go into the Limburg press follow the undevelopments, but the PVV could be proud that the unique collection did not go to a villa in Bahrain has been sold, and is still just standing in Limburg. Where Hank and Inzjrid can just enjoy it.
