Agnes Joseph
View on Wikipedia
Agnes Scarlet Joseph (born 15 April 1980) is a Dutch politician from the New Social Contract who served on the House of Representatives between December 2023 and November 2025.[1] Her focus was on pensions, financial markets, elderly and disabled care, and mental health.[2]
Key Information
She described Dutch pension reforms passed in the previous term as disastrous, and she called the transfer of existing pension fund assets to the new system an infringement on property rights.[3][4] When NSC entered the governing coalition, no commitments were made about pension policy, but the coalition parties decided not to introduce any proposals before January 2025. That month, after the reforms had been enacted by the first pension funds, Joseph announced an amendment, co-sponsored by party leader Pieter Omtzigt and Henk Vermeer of the Farmer–Citizen Movement, that would require participants of pension funds to approve the move of existing assets to the new system through a referendum.[3][5]
In July 2025, after the government had fallen and new elections had been announced, she announced that she had left NSC and would stay in parliament as a member of the farmers party BBB.[6] Joseph was not re-elected in October 2025, and her term ended on 11 November.[7][8]
