Sandra Palmen-Schlangen (born 17 February 1972) is a Dutch politician from the New Social Contract who was elected to the Dutch Parliament in the 2023 Dutch general election.[1]
Her focus is on the interior, democracy, legal protection, and poverty.[2][3] Her party supports the establishment of a constitutional court, and she has criticized the Netherlands's ban on judicial constitutional review. The governing coalition, including NSC, agreed to pursue the creation of such a court. Palmen proposed several adjustments to the social safety net with Mohammed Mohandis (GL/PvdA) to simplify the system and to make it more forgiving to those in poverty.[4] The House passed a motion by Palmen and Michiel van Nispen (SP) urging the government to adopt recommendations by Jos Silvis to seek legal advice from a range of law firms. Previously, the government had relied almost exclusively on the firm Pels Rijcken.[5]
