In this latest On the Frontlines of Freedom episode, we share an interview with Dr. de Jong, a former Member of the European Parliament for the Dutch Government who went on to successfully found and build the first working group on Freedom of Religion or Belief in the Parliament.For over 20 years, de Jong’s personal beliefs and faith has been a driving force for his dedication, research and work in protecting freedom of religion or belief at the government level.  What makes his work so unique is that he was leading these efforts within the European Parliament as a member of the Socialist Party.  During our interview with him, de Jong lets us in on his strategy and approach as he tactfully gained broad support of other MEP’s and foreign diplomats, from “both sides of the aisle”. Dr. de Jong served in several Dutch Ministries, until elected to the European Parliament in 2009 and 2014 as his party’s top candidate.
