Lilian Janse
L.E.J. "Lilian" Janse-van der Weele (born 1973 in Vlissingen) is a Dutch politician who has become the first female representative of the Reformed Political Party (SGP) in an election. The Reformed Political Party did not allow women to run for office until an order by the European Court of Human Rights in 2012.[1]
Since 27 March 2014 she has been a member of the municipal council of Vlissingen. Her election gained attention due to the party's history.[2][3]
She is leading the SGP group (existing of two members) in the municipal council.
