Did Fidan Ekiz go too far in Op1 while talking to Wilfred Genee? – Wel.nl

On Sunday evening Wilfred Genee was a guest at Op1 to talk about the fuss around VI. The central question was: should the gentlemen have gone along in the smear that arose or should stand firm? Fidan Ekiz, who presented the program together with Jeroen Pauw, clearly thought the latter. Her comments keep things going online.

She called Arie Boomsma’s action to call on advertisers to withdraw ‘nazi behavior’ and found Johan Derksen’s joke about Akwasi ‘a good joke’. “Why didn’t you say, ‘This is going too far. We never feel the need to justify ourselves? ” the presenter begins. “Johan Derksen made a joke, which I honestly thought was quite funny. I don’t think he had any racist intentions with that. Why is there no one at the time saying, “We are not going to answer, we have never done that. Why should we join in that scare-making? “

Genee has to explain to her that times have changed and that you have to take into account the ‘sentiment that plays at some point’. IC doctor Diederik Gommers, who was also at the table, clearly states: “It is no longer about the intention. The intention is always good. We dare to say to each other that you just don’t say it anymore, that things like this just can’t be done anymore. And then we can say that Johan Derksen is elderly, but this just cannot be justified. He should have just said sorry. “
