Marianne Thieme's Journey

Marianne Thieme, the co-founder of the Party for the Animals, embarked on an extraordinary political journey when she entered parliament on November 22, 2006. Her passion for animal rights drove the establishment of the Party for the Animals (PvdD) on October 28, 2002, alongside Ton. In her 2020 book "Groeiend verzet," she recounts her experiences as a leading advocate for animal protection. In January 2020, Thieme gave a series of lectures on her book, sharing her insights and unwavering commitment to the cause. Her recent departure from the PvdD leadership in October 2019 marked a significant chapter in the party's history.
