What does this MP stand for?
Three questions for Silvio Erkens.
1. What drives you to serve as an MP?
When I was younger, politics frustrated me. I felt politicians were not doing enough to keep the country strong in the future. I was once one of the youngest MPs. I am older now, and I feel a great sense of responsibility. I want to make the country a more beautiful, safer place for my children.
2. What would you change about the Netherlands?
The country should invest heavily in security and defence. I am also a proponent of a stronger economy and a smaller government.
3. Who inspires you?
My wife Samita. She has made it possible for me to pursue this career. She does not put herself first, but is prepared to do this for me and for our family.
