Hot evening in Nieuwegein council, alderman van Engelen survives vote of no confidence

FNV files a complaint against Utrecht municipalities for fraud score

It must have been an exciting evening for Nieuwegein alderman John van Engelen (Local Renewal). After a fierce debate about the renovation of the Merwestein sports complex, five parties filed a motion of no confidence against him. He survived that one. 18 councilors voted against the motion, 11 in favour.
