Code Orange (Template:Lang-nl; Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkoːdə oːˈrɑɲə]) is a political movement in the Netherlands.

History

Code Orange was founded on 25 October 2018 by Bert Blase, the interim mayor of Heerhugowaard.[1][2] The movement advocates for more influence for citizens in political decision-making, for instance through binding referendums and citizens' assemblies.[3]

In 2019, Code Orange participated in the provincial elections in four provinces, but did not win any seats.[4] The movement intends to take part in the next general election, scheduled for 17 March 2020.[5] Richard de Mos has been chosen as its lijsttrekker.[5]
