The Revolt of the Countryside - Derk Jan Eppink

If we don't intervene quickly, the countryside will empty. Because a village without a doctor, school or bus stop is doomed. Only if the viability of the countryside is guaranteed can it continue to exist. This is what Derk Jan Eppink argues in this essay. It is a must-read for every politician, administrator and concerned citizen.

Derk Jan Eppink (1958) is a member of the House of Representatives for JA21. He was born in the Achterhoek and subsequently lived in Amsterdam, Brussels, The Hague and New York.
