Derksen said earlier this month that, in his opinion, Member of Parliament Habtamu de Hoop is not a real Frisian, while De Hoop grew up in Friesland. Derksen received a lot of criticism in 2022 after he told Today Inside how he had penetrated a woman with a candle.

Parrhesia talking: speaking the truth at risk

Oral would not enter into a conversation with the Today Inside presenter, because that would make no sense. “If I feel called to make something, I will, but I am not here to save society or the world. I don’t like to say to someone: why did you do that? You apparently think that is normal. Not me.”

According to Oral, a good conversation is one in which you do not have to convince the other person and in which you listen. Oral created the performance with her mother Not without you anymore. “We talked about parrhesia, which is risky telling the truth. You tell and you want to be a witness to the other without one having to switch from one camp to another camp, having to be convinced, or having to work towards it. towards an outcome.” According to Oral, parrhesia is “ultimate connecting.” “In total disclosure, this is who I am and this is what happens to me when you say this.”
