The Dutch party NL Plan, which is running in the European Parliament elections for the first time, reportedly has close ties to China. This is the result of an investigation by the Dutch news channel RTL Nieuws and the investigative platform Follow The Money. According to the report, NL Plan is being financed by organizations close to the Chinese Communist Party and its United Front. Representatives of the party allegedly voiced pro-Chinese views in Chinese-language media. Among other things, NL Plan is the only Dutch party that opposes the supposed „oppression of China“ by the EU and the Western world.
