Ambassadors protest at PVV's anti-eastern European websiteMonday 13 February 2012 The ambassadors of 10 central and eastern European countries have sent an open letter to political party leaders protesting about a website set up by the anti-immigration PVV to collect complaints about their nationals. According to Polish news agency PAP, the letter asks parliamentary party leaders to distance themselves from this ‘regrettable initiative’. Poland’s prime minister Donald Tusk is also aware of the commotion, PAP said. Tusk said there are limited protest options open because the website is the initiative of a politician, not the government, website Polonia.nl reports. Jobs PVV leader Geert Wilders said in a reaction to the ambassadors’ letter that it was a ‘waste of paper’. The website is not focused at individual countries but at collecting information about the public nuisance and pressure on jobs, Wilders is quoted as saying by the Volkskrant. On Friday evening Europe’s justice commissioner Viviane Reding said the website is ‘an open call to intolerance’.‘The PVV website completely goes against European principles,’ Reding said. ‘In Europe, we support freedom. We support an open continent where citizens can move, work and study where they will,’ Reding said. ‘We solve our problems by showing more solidarity, not by telling tales on fellow citizens.’ Complaints The website, launched on Wednesday, asks people to report complaints about central and eastern European immigrants in the Netherlands. 'Do you have problems with people from central and eastern Europe? Have you lost your job to a Pole, Bulgarian, Romanian or other eastern European? We want to know,' the website states. ‘Europe can get stuffed,’ Wilders said in a reaction to Reding's statement. ‘We’ve had more than 32,000 reports. The website is a hit.’ It is not clear how many of the reports are genuine.

Did you just count reports or actually read them, Blondie?? I'm sure many say things you would prefer they didn't. By CW | February 13, 2012 10:29 AM Not many of the hits are genuine at all.Its getting flodded by complaints about the PVV .Evryone online knows this.Buts its no surprise Wilders lies about this....thats what he dose best. By jason buttle | February 13, 2012 10:39 AM What's most sad about this is our prime minister's pathetic lack of an appropriate response. He should not be waiting for the rest of Europe to condemn Wilders' outrages actions. By Quince | February 13, 2012 3:47 PM It's nice to be considerate of foreign nationals, to consider their needs, etc., but such altruism and naivete' can result in a net loss for the host country. By Ron | February 13, 2012 3:58 PM sorry to say but sadly he may well have gotten 32,000 reports. unfortunately - if that is indeed true - that is sadder than the site itself!

There are undeniably a lot of Dutch people that are decent, shame that they are in minority. By bran | February 17, 2012 11:40 AM

Can someone make it clear this guy is a fraud. I know for a fact that not all the submissions are negative even though he claims so. Isn't that contrary not only to EU right, but to dutch standards ?
