NPO petition to remove ON gains rapid signatures

A petition titled ‘Verwijder ON uit de NPO’ (Remove ON from the NPO) has gained rapid momentum, reaching 1,000 signatures within 14.5 hours of its launch on August 25, 2026. The campaign is gaining traction on social media platforms like BlueSky.

The organizers have set specific milestones for the petition, which is scheduled to run until November 23, 2026. They aim to reach 35,000 signatures, which exceeds the number of ON members, and 40,000 signatures, a threshold they state would mandate a discussion of the request in the Tweede Kamer.
