Benschop is not a revolutionary. He is a pardoned treason accused.
I suppose he was pardoned to stay out of politics, but I guess he has a martyr's complex.
There was some good footage of his involvement in the OP invasion, and Mark probably egged those people on to their deaths.
He has done some do-gooder acts; but that would not translate to votes at elections. Don't know where the "modest" label comes from.
