About Bart GROOTHUIS

Bart Groothuis represents the Netherlands in the European Parliament as a member of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the country's main liberal party that has traditionally championed free-market policies and European integration. He sits with the Renew Europe group, the centrist-liberal political family that advocates for European federalism, digital transformation, and pro-business economic policies. Before entering European politics, Groothuis worked in the private sector, including roles in technology and consulting. His parliamentary attendance stands at 81.7%, slightly below the European Parliament average of 82%, while he has participated in 82% of votes, casting 1,530 ballots out of 1,873 possible votes during his full term. As a Dutch liberal MEP, Groothuis operates within a political tradition that generally supports deeper European integration, market liberalization, and institutional reform, though his specific policy focus areas and committee work shape his individual legislative priorities within the broader Renew Europe agenda.
