Jetten answers 17 questions on anti-gender movement claim

Prime Minister Jetten has answered 17 parliamentary questions from MP Jan Dijkgraaf in a single reply that stands by the core of his party-congress remarks.

Prime Minister Jetten says he stands by the core of his party-congress remarks about an international anti-gender movement. He gave a single joint answer to 17 parliamentary questions (Kamervragen) from Dijkgraaf, received on 26 October 2026.

I maintain the core of my statements: that we must offer a counterweight to the strong, well-funded international anti-gender movement that is attacking the equal rights for women, men and LGBTIQ+ people that have already been won.Prime Minister Jetten, in his reply to parliament

Dijkgraaf had asked Jetten to back up or publicly correct his claim that "well-organised and well-funded organisations" attack small and large groups to gain power and fill their own pockets. He asked which organisations, funders, countries and amounts Jetten meant, and what facts the claims rest on.

Question 17 notes that Jetten withdrew his words about hitting people "vol op de bek" (full in the mouth). It asks how he looks back on D66 members applauding enthusiastically on the spot.
