European parliament to debate Wilders' anti-Pole websiteThursday 16 February 2012 The European parliament is to debate the website set up by the Dutch government's alliance partner, the anti-immigration PVV, to collect complaints about central and eastern European nationals in the Netherlands. In particular, prime minister Mark Rutte is to be asked to explain his 'deafening silence' on the issue, said Joseph Daul, leader of the European Peoples' Party grouping in a news release. The debate will take place on March 13 in Strasbourg at the plenary session of the European Parliament. European values 'I am angered that anyone could attack fellow Europeans. It is against all European and indeed human values to attack a group of people in this way,' Daul said. 'We especially call on the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, to declare the position of his government on this issue and come before the European Parliament to explain his deafening silence.' The EPP is the largest political grouping in the European parliament and includes the Dutch Christian Democrats. Rutte has so far refused to condemn the website, saying it is a matter for the PVV. PVV leader Geert Wilders reacted earlier to criticism of the site from European commissioners by saying 'Europe can get stuffed'.

So I guess the EC will have to force Rutte to act like a leader? How sad is that. By Bill | February 16, 2012 12:50 PM I wonder what Nigel Farage of the UKIP will have to say when this is debated in the EU parliament? I have to say personally that I support Wilders 100% when he says "Europe can get stuffed". The EU is the new USSR, the free market will crush it snd already is! By Phil | February 16, 2012 2:37 PM In the beginning the Dutch didn't denounce the Nazis either... until it was too late. By Quince | February 16, 2012 4:18 PM Until the advent of neo-Nazism infection in our country, brought by the PVV, our country was respected, and was always part of the solutions. That brought us to where we enjoyed prosperity. Since the arrival of Prime Minister to power, supported by neo-Nazis, our reputation has collapsed, we have entered into the select group of countries in recession (Greece, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Italy and our country), the way of living and convivence in our country has been degraded, and we are perceived as a problematic country and creator of conflicts. Does anyone who live better with this government? In what way? By zenplus | February 16, 2012 5:45 PM Hope this will teach this crazy wilder some manners ! He made huge mistake this time ! By Dimitri | February 16, 2012 6:53 PM I am an Asian immigrant myself. I really want to be politically correct. But my house was recently burglarized by the East Europeans. There have been several burglaries in our street lately. It was very safe and quite district when I moved in here 8 years ago. so what opinions shall I have? By Pete | February 16, 2012 7:03 PM History shows that the greatest enemies of a Europe at peace, cooperation and prosperity have always been the Nazis. By zenplus | February 16, 2012 7:50 PM I'm Polish and I'm pretty surprised with this whole story. We have free speach in Europe and shutting down websites by politicians is stupid and harmful, people should have the right to say what they want. Now having said this I admit I am puzzled with this site - are Poles really one of the biggest problems in the Netherlands now? One would assume that if culture-based tensions appear they would be stronoger between the Dutch majority and minorities which represent more distant mentalities. It's not like the Polish people come to wage jihad or anything.
