About Bert-Jan RUISSEN
Bert-jan Ruissen represents the Netherlands in the European Parliament as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a right-wing Eurosceptic political group that advocates for national sovereignty and opposes further European integration. He belongs to the Reformed Political Party (SGP), the Netherlands' orthodox Protestant party known for its conservative Christian positions on social issues and traditional family values. The SGP, founded in 1918, consistently promotes biblical principles in Dutch politics and maintains a small but stable electoral base. Ruissen demonstrates exceptional commitment to his parliamentary duties, maintaining a 99.8% attendance record compared to the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 100% of votes, casting ballots in 1,869 of 1,873 recorded votes during his current term. His consistent presence in parliamentary proceedings reflects the SGP's disciplined approach to political representation and their emphasis on fulfilling electoral mandates through active participation in legislative processes.
