Ingrid Coenradie (Dutch: [ˈɪŋɡrɪt kunˈraːdi]; born 1987) is a Dutch politician. On behalf of the Party for Freedom (PVV), she has served as State Secretary for Justice and Security in the Schoof cabinet since July 2024.
Life
[edit]Coenradie was born and raised in Rotterdam.[1] Her father worked as a music teacher, but he suddenly became deaf when Coenradie was young. A member of Livable Rotterdam, she started serving on the Rotterdam Municipal Council in 2022, and her focus is on safety.[2] Coenradie stressed the importance of the police, citing two sexual assaults in her teenage years. She has told that she was assaulted at the age of 13 by her boss at a sandwich shop and at the age of 18 by two men. Her criminal complaint following the latter did not lead to a conviction.[2][3] She became her party's parliamentary leader in July 2023, and she also worked as a piano teacher.[2]
After the PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB formed the Schoof cabinet, Coenradie was sworn in as State Secretary for Justice and Security on 2 July 2024. She was nominated by the PVV.[2][4] Her portfolio includes civic integration, prisons, probation service, fire brigade, regional disaster relief and crisis management, sexual offenses, and reforms of emergency powers legislation.[5] In response to a personnel shortage in prisons, Coenradie examined the possibility of incarcerating convicts in Estonian prisons, despite a significant opposition in parliament.[6]
