Keerbergen actress Loes Van den Heuvel submits bill to better protect freelance actors in bankruptcies

Actress Loes Van den Heuvel is pushing for better protection for freelancers after recently experiencing the problem herself. The Keerbergen actor, known for playing a role in FC De Kampioenen, wants project-based actors to have greater financial security when a client goes bankrupt.

Her proposed legislation, called the “Van den Heuvel” bill, addresses what she sees as a lack of protection for freelancers. The proposal focuses specifically on actors who provide services on a project basis.

Van den Heuvel’s campaign follows a personal encounter with the financial uncertainty that can arise when freelance work is affected by a bankruptcy. She argues that existing safeguards remain insufficient for experienced performers and other freelancers.
