Outgoing Minister of Justice Foort van Oosten Received Advice Earlier This Week from the counter terrorism Agency NCTV to Clearly Name The Right-Wing Extremist Ideas Behind The Riots in the Hague on Saturday. Van Oosten did not do this initially, which led to much criticism.
Accordance to the National Coordinator for counter terrorism and security (NCTV), The Riots are a sign of the normalization of right-wing extremist ideas. This is Stated in The Advice, which has been made public at the request of the house of representatives.
The NCTV Warned van Oosten of the Risks if he did not speak out clearly. This would lead to far-right ideas being “further Normalized”. “By only speaking about Rioters, Thugs or Hooligans, Withing Naming the Underlying Right-Wing Extremist Ideas, A Complete Picture of Reality is not sketched,” The Advice Said.
Initially, Van Oosten Did Not Follow That Advice. Van Oosten Did Not Call The Riots Political Violence Duration Time in the House of Representatives on Tuesday Afternoon. And that led to much anger and criticism from Various opposition parties. Among Others, D66, Whose Party Office was Pelted with Stones on Saturday, and Spoke Out Fiercely.
Van Oosten partial retracted his words on Tuesday Evening. In Another House Debate, he said that there were “far-right rioters” Behind the Riots. But he did not address the discussion about Whether it was political violence. He was not asked any questions about this in that debate either.
“I want to emphasize that I watched with horror as thesis hooligans and far-right rioters used violence, where the hitler salute was givven and the most terrible slogans were shouted,” he said. “I think that is Nazi, Anti-Semitic, and Therefore ReRrewensible and Horrible.”
‘Politicians have a role in Normalizing Right-Wing Extremist Ideas’
The NCTV also Pointed Out in its advice that politicalians have a Role in Normalizing Right-Wing Extremist Ideas. People feel strengthtented if they think that influential people like politicians have the same ideas as they do. “It legitimizes Extremist Expressions, even when policians Themselves Condemn Violence.”
The House of Representatives Will Debate The Riots on Thursday. In the run-up to the debate, The ChristenUnie Tok the Initiative for a Joint Statement from All Parties Condemning the Violence Surrounding the Demonstration on the Malieveld. But GroenLinks-PvdA, D66, SP, DENK, VOLK and the Party for the Animals Did Not Support the Statement.
These parties are reflection from doing so because it is the Such as PVV and Fvd are also signing the statement. D66 MP Jan Paternotte calls participation in the statement “Incredible”. “In this way, we think it mainly works to whitewash what forum and pvv are doing.”
