Jan Roos (Dutch pronunciation: [jɑn ˈroːs]; born 27 January 1977 in Alkmaar) is a Dutch journalist and former political candidate and activist.
Roos worked for the PowNed public broadcasting association,[1] where he made reports for the daily PowNews news program. He also made the radio programme Echte Jannen for PowNed.[2]
Roos used to be a reporter for BNR Nieuwsradio. He later worked for the Dutch self described "politically incorrect" blog GeenStijl.[3]
In 2015 Jan Roos was the campaign leader for GeenPeil, a campaign which got a referendum on the EU-Association Treaty with Ukraine on the books. During this campaign Jan Roos often wore a sailor cap.[4][3]
GeenPeil later ran as a political party in the 2017 general election. It failed to gain enough votes to win any seats in the Dutch parliament. Roos campaigned as top candidate of the VoorNederland party, also gaining no seats.
