Commission Joustra: a spin-doctor hiding in plain sight

ACT’s founder and child-rights expert of ACT from 2009 till 2014 noted that the news item was written, in interview form, by a certain Henri Kruithof. She ‘googled’ and found that Mr. Kruithof longtime was the spin-doctor of the governing political party VVD.

A spin-doctor with more power than a Member of Parliament

We got more curious since last week a second article was put on the Committee’s website.
Not signed by Kruithof, but it ‘smelled’ his hand.

ACT wrote to the Commission’s Secretariat to inquire if this was also written by Mr. Kruithof.

Reply, yes it was written by the same author.
The Secretariat, as requested, added the name to the article.

See these before and after screenshots:


ACT then wrote to the Commission’s secretariat to inquire about the relationship between the Joustra Commission. Was this a contractual relationship?

Reply: No more questions. No more statements.
