    • JONG (Dutch pronunciation: [jɔŋ]; transl. Young) was a political party in the Netherlands.[1] The party was founded in 2017 by Jacob de Groot from Gaast.[2]

    History

    [edit]

    The party was founded for youth participation.[3] The party contested the first time during the municipal elections of 2017 in Súdwest-Fryslân after municipal reorganization with De Groot as lead candidate. It received about 100 votes short to win a seat in the council.[2] It also contested in the 2021 Dutch general election, but was unable to win any seats.

    Ideology

    [edit]

    JONG's three spearheads concerned the climate, education and housing. For example, the party wanted more subsidies for research into innovations in tackling climate change, the abolition of the loan system, a maximum price for student housing and more sustainable homes for starters.[4] In addition, JONG wanted to lower the voting age to 16 and the party preferred a European Union that focuses on tackling migration and climate.[5]
