Leader of the farmers and citizens movement (BBB)
She presents herself as the voice of the “ordinary citizen” against the perceived elite of urban politicians and bureaucrats. Van der Plas uses simple, accessible language, emphasizes pragmatic solutions, and positions the BBB as a grassroots movement that stands up for farmers and rural communities.
