The Party for the Animals (Dutch: Partij voor de Dieren [pɑrˈtɛi voːr də ˈdiːrə(n)], PvdD) is a political party in the Netherlands. Among its main goals are animal rights and animal welfare.[3] The PvdD was founded in 2002 as a single-issue party for animal rights, opposing animal cruelty and the treatment of animals in agriculture. The party then developed into a left-wing, ecological party.[8]
Since 2019, the PvdD's political leader is Esther Ouwehand. With 2.25% of the votes at the 2023 general election, the PvdD holds three of the 150 House of Representatives's seats. In the Senate, it has three of the 75 seats. PvdD holds 26 States-Provincial seats across all provinces. In the European Parliament, it has one of the 31 seats allocated to the Netherlands constituency.
Nu moet gezegd: de Partij voor de Dieren is ook moeilijk in het politieke landschap te lokaliseren. Vanwege haar activisme en haar antikapitalisme wordt ze in de publieke opinie doorgaans met links geassocieerd.[Now it must be said: the Party for the Animals is also difficult to locate in the political landscape. Because of its activism and anti-capitalism, it is usually associated with the left in public opinion.]
Jur Faber, an avuncular man with a white moustache and reading glasses, who represented the left-wing Party for the Animals, which campaigns for animal rights, had the floor.
Players who voted for the right-wing parties PVV and VVD donate the least, players who voted for the left-wing PvdD and SP, but also those who voted for the Christian-democratic CDA give the most to other players.
The far right PVV and far left Party for the Animals in Groningen called for a recount of the provincial council election votes, but Groningen mayor Peter den Oudsten has denied their request.
In keeping with their political positions, they were lined up on stage from left to right: PvdD on the far left, JA21 on the far right.
