Olger van Dijk (born 4 January 1979) is a Dutch politician of the New Social Contract (NSC) party who has served as a member of the House of Representatives since 2023.
Political career
Van Dijk had been a member of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) until he switched to NSC in 2023, when it was founded by Pieter Omtzigt, a former CDA member. He was asked to join by Eddy van Hijum, and he described NSC as having similar political views as the CDA, but with a broader foundation.[1] He was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2023 Dutch general election.[2] His focus is on infrastructure, public transport, aviation, water management, and sports.[3]
In 2024, Van Dijk and Habtamu de Hoop (GL/PvdA) proposed a bill that would allow provinces to establish their own public transport companies. They are required to tender to corporations, and some provinces were encountering difficulties in receiving sufficient bids. Van Dijk believed a public company could lead to improved accessibility and service for students and the elderly, in particular.[4]
Personal life
Van Dijk grew up in Putten. His family were members of the Dutch Reformed Church, and he made his profession of faith at the age of 18. As of 2024, Van Dijk's family attended the Nieuwe Kerk in Amersfoort, part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. He has played chess since his youth.[1]
