Rob Oudkerk
Robert Herman Oudkerk (born 20 March 1955) is a Dutch politician and general practitioner. Oudkerk was born in Amsterdam. He was the son of a Jewish butcher and a nurse. His grandfather was David Cohen, who was President of the Jewish Council during World War II.[1] He has served as a member of the Dutch House of Representatives for the Dutch Labour Party and as alderman of education in Amsterdam. During his time as a local politician in Amsterdam, he was beset by scandals, such as that he frequented a streetwalking zone for drug-addicted prostitutes, while still being a general practitioner.[2]
When the Labour Party formed an electoral alliance with GroenLinks in the early 2020s, Oudkerk supported Rood Vooruit, an initiative founded in 2023 that has been critical of merger plans.[3]
