#jeronivergeer

Today, we woke up early to travel to Vlissingen, a charming little (...very little) town in the South West of the Netherlands with Jeroni Vergeer, a young candidate for Groen Links and FYEG !

We met her in the train going from Goes to the very east of the coast ( yes there's only one train :-)) and could enjoy the time discussing with her about the elections, the campaign, and the reality of the region we were about to discover. "Pretty hard" for the Greens to convince in this constituency, mostly conservative and rural. Who cares ! Jeroni goes everywhere to the contact of the inhabitants !

After distributing flyers all over the city with all her sympathic team, rendez-vous is taken in front of the beach, to meet an official photograph for the campaign, where we enjoy the opportunity to eat a nice ice cream  under the sun of Vlissingen, before continuing the campaign in meeting the local activists. They are all ready for an action on the beach, in order to clean all the plastics and rests that are covering the sand. All the Groen Links start to work, picking up the trash and filling big plastic bags.

When the whole group left, we asked Jeroni to give us an interview, as a young candidate from the Netherlands, from how she felt at one week of the vote, to the topics that were driving her to fight along with the Groen links , and the Federation of Young European Greens as well.
