Bart van Kent (born 18 December 1983) is a Dutch politician of the Socialist Party. Since 23 March 2017, he has been a member of the House of Representatives. [1]
In the 2006 municipal elections, Van Kent was elected to the Eindhoven municipal council. The next year, he resigned to move to The Hague. Between 2010 and 2017, Van Kent was a member of the municipal council of The Hague. [2] Since 2017, he has been a member of the House of Representatives for the Socialist Party. [3] He was re-elected in November 2023, and he has since served as the Socialist Party's spokesperson for labor, income, pensions, traffic, and defense. [4]
When in 2024 an early retirement scheme for workers in physically demanding occupations neared expiration and negotiations about its extension stalled, Van Kent and Luc Stultiens (GL/PvdA) filed an amendment to make the scheme permanent and to raise its maximum benefits. They planned to fund the expansion through canceling a planned broadening of the earnings stripping rule for large corporations. [5] [6] Social affairs minister Eddy van Hijum subsequently said he believed the negotiations would lead to an agreement about the extension of the early retirement scheme. [7]
