“We think it is very important that there is local support. The city council must really want it,” said Van Schie in the broadcast. According to him, his opponent, Huib van Essen of GroenLinks, wants to ignore the will of the citizen to push through windmills. “We say: just respect local democracy, we just had municipal elections. Municipal councils know very well what they want, so stick to it.” If municipal councils would like a windmill, then the VVD is not against it.
