Florens van der Spek (born 1992) [1] is a Dutch politician. He is leader of the political party Jesus Lives (Dutch: Jezus Leeft). [2] His father in law, Joop van Ooijen, is the founder of the party. [3]
Van der Spek lives on his father-in-law’s farm. [4] [5] During his youth, he was a cocaine addict as well as an alcoholic. [6] [7] Now his party campaigns to outlaw all drugs. [8] When he went to church, he would leave early to visit the pub were he took drugs and drank alcohol, also being frequently involved in fights. [9] When asked about what he would do if he became minister-president he described himself as unfit as his strict interpretation of the Bible wouldn't allow him to make the necessary concessions. [3] He went as far as to say that his party would not cooperate with parties that "oppose the principles of Jesus" at all. [7] He is of the opinion that every problem can be solved by "doing them with Jesus", traffic jams being the exception. [10] He also was a candidate for the European Election. [8]
Van der Spek works at a gardening company called Scheppingsonderhoud. [11]
When his party won zero seats in the election, Van der Spek remarked that meant he didn't have to make a compromise with other politicians and that was the only true victory, [3][ relevant?] as his goal is not to win elections but to share Jesus' message. [10]
Florens van der Spek lives in Giessenburg. [1]
