MAASTRICHT/THE NETHERLANDS. WOinActie and the unions FNV and AOb, the organisations which for the past two years have led efforts protesting the budget cuts in higher education, are inviting people to watch the party leader debate together on Monday, 27 October.

On Monday evening, two days before the election on Wednesday, 29 October, party leaders Dilan Yesilgöz (VVD), Frans Timmermans (GL/PvdA), Geert Wilders (PVV), Rob Jetten (D66), Henri Bontenbal (CDA) and Joost Eerdmans (JA21) will face each other in Ahoy Rotterdam, during the EenVandaag election debate.

The campaigners plan to watch the livestream on the Domplein in Utrecht. The evening will begin with a preview at 17.45. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for discussion. It is as yet unclear whether there will be a delegation from Maastricht. The campaigners hope that a new government will undo the budget cuts.
