Eva Lotte Louise Vlaardingerbroek (born September 3, 1996 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch opinion writer and political activist. She is noted for her activism against the Mark Rutte government, particularly surrounding the Dutch farmer's protests, and appearances with Tucker Carlson on the American Fox News and The Mark Steyn Show on the British GBNews.

Biography

Vlaardingerbroek studied law at Utrecht University, where she participated in the honors program (Utrecht Law College). After studying for some time in Munich at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and completing her bachelor's degree, she began the master's degree in Encyclopedia and Philosophy of Law at Leiden University. She wrote her master's thesis on The Contractualization of Sex and completed her master's with honors.

After her studies, in 2016 she joined the Forum for Democracy (FVD) group in the European Parliament, in Brussels. In 2019 she gave a speech against modern feminism at the FVD's party congress. On October 31, 2020, party leader Thierry Baudet announced that Vlaardingerbroek would be in fifth place on the FVD candidate list for the House of Representatives. After a crisis broke out between Baudet and the FVD board, Vlaardingerbroek announced on the television program Goedemorgen Nederland on November 26, 2020, that she had sided with the board in that conflict. Later on this day, she announced that she was withdrawing as a candidate MP and ending her membership in the party.

Vlaardingerbroek left Brussels behind to work in Leiden as a lecturer-researcher, in which year she published several opinion pieces in Elseviers Weekblad. In October 2020, she put her position at the university and her dissertation on hold to focus fully on a political career, which did not take off.

In 2021, she worked for some time in Sweden as presenter of her own pan-European talk show Let's Talk About It on the YouTube channel of Swedish media outlet Riks, which is affiliated with the far-right party Sverigedemokraterna. On January 1, 2022, she began working as a legal advisor at a law firm, where she focused on human rights and civil litigation. After more than four months, this employment was terminated.

In early July 2022, Vlaardingerbroek spoke out about the Dutch nitrogen crisis on the American television channel Fox News in conversation with Tucker Carlson. She claims that the crisis is being used to steal land from farmers in order to build homes on it for immigrants as part of the "Great Reset".Vlaardingerbroek regularly appears as a commentator on The Mark Steyn Show on the British television channel GBNews and on the right-wing populist YouTube channel Achtung, Reichelt! by the former editor-in-chief of the German newspaper BILD, Julian Reichelt. In March 2023 she participated in the farmer's protests against the government in The Hague.

Personal life

Vlaardingerbroek is the daughter of musicologist and concert director Kees Vlaardingerbroek, and grew up in Hilversum. She had a relationship until the late 2020s with Julien Rochedy, a French writer who in his youth was president of the youth wing of Front National.

During the conflict within the FVD in November 2020, during which Vlaardingerbroek publicly turned against Thierry Baudet, Baudet brought out that he had had a love affair with her in 2017, to which Vlaardingerbroek stated that it had been nothing more than a brief fling.
