Remi Jean Louis Poppe (born 19 July 1938) is a former Dutch politician and environmental activist.
[3] He fulfilled a prominent role in the Milieu Aktiecentrum Nederland (MAN; 'Environmental Action Center of the Netherlands'), a collaboration between the CAR and the Bond van Huurders en Woningzoekenden [nl] (BHW; 'Association of Renters and Housing Seekers'), which was founded in January 1973 and, like the BHW, a front organization of the SP.
In 1978, the SP obtained one seat in Vlaardingen on a joint ticket with the Pacifist Socialist Party (PSP), which Poppe was allowed to occupy from 1980.
In 1994 the SP became the largest party in Vlaardingen with Poppe as the lead candidate, winning 19 percent of the vote and seven seats.
[7] In 1992 he was one of the initiators to plant 17,000 trees in De Lickebaert [nl] polder near Vlaardingen, in order to prevent the construction of a landfill.
He made a case for recovering the costs of waste processing from the producer, but his motions for this did not win a majority.
[10] Poppe was no longer eligible for re-election in the 2002 Dutch general election because he wanted to be active in local politics again.
