Mladi nositelji naše izborne liste


27 veljače 2017

Stranka za životinje je stranka za buduće generacije. Mi se borimo za bolji, prijatan svijet, za sada i u budućnosti. Mi se brinemo da li će našoj djeci biti bolje nego nama, u materijalnom i nematerijalnom smislu. Mladi ljudi se isto brinu o tom pitanju. Održivost je tema koja stoji visoko na dnevnom redu mladih. Mnogi mladi birači se identificiraju s planetarnom vizijom Stranke za životinje, čemu svjedoče dvije mlade nositeljice naše izborne listi: 17-godišnjakinja Malou i 21-godišnjakinja Teske de Schepper.

“Generacija milenijalaca je budućnost,” rekla je Lieke Keller, direktor stranačkog ureda, u intervjuu za NOS (vijesti u Nizozemskoj). “Trebaju nam mladi ljudi koji su bore za održiv svijet.” Malou, najmlađa nositeljica izborne liste u Nizozemskoj, je bez oklijevanja prihvatila poziv stranke. “Ja to rado radim. Važno je da obratimo više pozornosti na klimatske probleme. I to posebno važi za mlade.”

Teske de Schepper je popularna zvijezda YouTubea. Ona ima više od 330.000 mladih sljedbenika. De Schepper: “Politika nije seksi tema među mladima, ali mislim da je stvarno cool da sa svojim glasom za Stranku za životinje mogu da pokažem svoje vrijednosti i norme. Nadam se da ću potaknuti mlade ljude da isto glasaju za tu stranku.”

The Party for the Animals is the perfect example of a party that is dedicated to future generations. We undertake to promote an inhabitable world, now and in the future. We are worried about whether our children will have better lives than our generation, in a material as well as an immaterial sense. Young people share our concerns, and sustainability is an important item on their agendas. The fact that so many young voters identify with the Party for the Animals’ planet-wide vision becomes evident from our two young ‘lijstduwers’, supporters of our party who are at the bottom of our party list: 17-year-old Malou Herstel and 21-year-old Teske de Schepper.

“Millennials are the future,” says director of our party headquarters Lieke Keller in an interview with Dutch news broadcaster NOS. “We need young people that work towards a sustainable world.”

Malou, the youngest ‘lijstduwer’ in the Netherlands, did not hesitate to accept the party’s invitation. “I am happy to do it. It is essential that greater attention is paid to climate issues – especially among young people.

With over 330,000 followers, Teske de Schepper is a popular Youtuber among young people. De Schepper: “Politics is not a very sexy topic for the young generation, but I think it is cool to promote my norms and values in choosing the Party for the Animals. This way, I hope to encourage other young people to make the same choice.”
