Profile
The SP wants the municipality to take more into its own hands: a municipal housing company, a municipal energy and heat company, and home help run by the municipality where possible. The programme chooses elected village and neighbourhood councils with their own budget and keeping Hilversum Airfield. The party wants to shift local charges to property tax (OZB), so that ‘those who have more also pay more’.
