Luc Cornelis Joseph Stultiens (born 17 July 1993) is a Dutch politician representing the GroenLinks.
He was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2023 Dutch general election.[1] His focus has been on higher education, pensions, and government benefits.[2]
When an early retirement scheme for workers in physically demanding occupations neared expiration and negotiations about its extension stalled, Stultiens and Bart van Kent (SP) filed an amendment to make the scheme permanent and to raise its maximum benefits. They planned to fund the expansion through canceling a planned broadening of the earnings stripping rule for large corporations.[3] [4] Negotiations facilitated by social affairs minister Eddy van Hijum finally led to an agreement on a permanent scheme in October 2024.[5]
In its 2025 budget, the Schoof cabinet intended to cut the education budget by €2 billion annually. To approve the plans, the coalition government relied on opposition support, as they did not hold a majority in the Senate. In November 2024, Stultiens proposed to reverse the cuts through an amendment with support of the Socialist Party (SP), the Party for the Animals (PvdD), Denk, and Volt. They aimed to secure alternative government funding by combating tax avoidance, introducing a digital services tax, and reducing fossil fuel subsidies.[6]
