Culture minister to decide on future of far-right broadcaster ON - DutchNews.nl
- On Tuesday, Culture Minister Rianne Letschert met Ongehoord Nederland director-general Peter Vlemmix to decide the future of the publicly funded far-right broadcaster.
- Last week the media regulator CvdM told the minister in a letter that the broadcaster failed to comply with legal obligations, clearing the way for action.
- Recent scrutiny follows an item using Adolf Hitler footage to discuss the "cosmopolitan elite," while editor-in-chief Joost Niem resigned citing "a difference of view about the editorial direction and recent programming."
- More than two-thirds of MPs want the publicly funded channel removed, including coalition parties D66, CDA, and VVD, following the latest programming controversies.
- Parliament will debate the channel's future later this month, though Vlemmix said the broadcaster will continue its "fight for survival" despite mounting pressure.
