Concern over departure of NCG | inside

De Boer would have had a different thought on the approach of reinforcements in the seismic zone of Groningen. He comes from the school of former NCG Hans Alders, who was already out of his displeasure. A large-scale approach to damage Alders was too slow, if it went from the front. De Boer and Alders worked closely together for years, when Alders was still Queen's Commissioner in Groningen. The fear in the region is that more "departures" will ensue, further delaying the long-awaited recovery approach in Groningen.

Secretary Susan Top of Groninger Gasberaad is worried. "It's not about De Boer, but who determines everything here, apparently the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate." In Groningen, it is assumed that De Boer had to give up his place because was not in line with "The Hague". "Their vision must be pushed at all costs," says Top.

MP Eelco Eikenaar, who never makes a hole in his heart, is also worried. "The province does not talk about the personnel policy of the NCG, but there is still a lot of work to be done and the reinforcement is not being done to a small extent, it does not help the Groners," says Eikenaar. He "can follow the reasoning" according to which the Groningenese suspect what lies behind. "The Ministry of Economic Affairs wants to attract it." His wish is clear: "He must be more stable and the region must be in the vanguard of that." The agreements must be respected. "

Groninger's leading interest group Soil Movement (GBB) has also responded with great care. "The main reinforcement of NCG is under pressure from the Ministry of Economic Affairs.EZK is more concerned about the weakening of the NCB than by strengthening the houses," said the GBB.

The acting NCG, Herman Sietsma, acknowledged in a reaction that the noses are not going in the same direction. "The NCG organization represents a major reinforcement operation." To this end, an action plan has been developed: "In the coming weeks, the authorities will discuss it," said Sietsma in a statement. "Jeroen de Boer, as chairman of the management team, worked hard to develop the plan of action and concluded that the chosen route did not fit his vision. For this reason, he decided to finish his work for the NCG. "

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate does not want to react to the departure of De Boer. "This is the personnel policy of the NCG staff," warned a spokesperson
