The contradiction in the council focuses on participation, or in other words, the participation of citizens. Dirk-Jan van Vliet (D66) is the clearest about this. If there is participation, it will not be about whether there will be a testing ground in the neighborhood, it is certain that there will be one. The consultation is about what it will look like. Derk van Bergen (Christian Union) is opposed to this, he believes that there should not be a testing ground if a district does not want that. He receives support from DENK and a little support from the VVD. Tess Meerding (VVD) hinted that there must be an outspoken majority against the arrival of a testing ground if a location is to be eliminated. With an outcome of fifty percent for and against, other interests must take precedence.
