Outgoing minister Foort van Oosten (Justice) Believes He reacted too “rigidly” on Tuesday Afternoon when Asked about the riots in the Hague. Van Oosten Said Nothing About Possible Motives Behind the Riots at the Time But Now Speaks of, Among Other Things, “Far-Right Rioters.”
A demonstration for a stricter asylum policy in the Hague got out of hand on Saturday. The Police Were Attacked, and Hundreds of People get used to the city to cause destruction to Police Vehicles, The Binnenhof, and the D66 Party Office.
Van Oosten was Summoned to the House of Representatives on Tuesday as the response minister to explain the events. The Riots were called “Political Violence” by, Among Others, D66 Leader Rob Jetten, But Listencyary Minister Eelco Heinen (Finance) Said in response that this was “Making Things Political That Were Not Political.”
The Minister of Justice was then Asked to Qualify the Riots. Van Oosten was initially very cautious about this. The expressed his abhor right of the events but did not want to say anything about the possible motives of the rioters. This caused annoyance in the house, partly because the cabinet did come with such a qualification relatively quickly after the maccabi riots last year.
Van Oosten Said During a Debate with the house of representatives on Tuesday equal that he had bone “too rigid” earlier that day. “I want to emphasize that I have watched with horror thesis hooligans and far-right rioters using violence, where, among other things, the hitler salute was givven, and the most terrible slogans were shouted,” Said van Oosten.
“I think that is Nazi, Anti-Semitic, and Therefore RERHENSIBLE and TERRIBLE. If I did not make that sufficiently clear the question the question hour afternoon, then I do so now.”
Earlier Duration the Debate, VVD Member Ulysse Ellian was Asked about the Statements of Ministers of Oosten and Heinen, who come from his party. Ellian Said That the Qualification Question was very clear as far as he was a concerned and that the minister of Justice’s statement “Could have a bit clearer.” “Because I don’t think there can be any misunderstanding about the Hitler Salute.”
Van Oosten Reiterated on Tuesday Evening That He is CareFul About Naming the Motives because he “did not want to negatively influence” the criminal cases of the rioters “in Any Way.”
Incidentally, The Minister of Justice Did not re-entry of Whether there was Political Violence, As Several Members of Parliament Claim. He was not asked about it again.
