Bij1 is a political party in the Netherlands formerly known as Artikel 1. The party was founded in 2016 by Sylvana Simons, a television personality who was formerly connected to Denk.[2][3][4] Artikel 1 is named after the opening clauses of the Dutch constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which outlaw discrimination based on race, religion, gender or any other reason.[5] Simons's party focuses on fighting racism and discrimination in the Netherlands.[6] The party and its leader have occasionally caused controversy.[7][8][9]
Since the municipal elections of 2018, Bij1 has one seat in the city council of Amsterdam.[10]
Perspectives
In its election manifesto the party advocates the establishment of a national health insurance fund, government quotas for women and ethnic minorities, a higher minimum wage, the reintroduction of the basic grant for undergraduate students, a humane refugee policy, and the closure of coal plants.[11]
