Dutch MPs currently involved in half-yearly talks on Aruba have formally distanced themselves from Hero Brinkman, MP of the hardline anti-immigration party PVV, who has repeatedly said the Caribbean island’s administration is as ‘corrupt as hell’.

His remarks have led to angry reactions and held up discussions on several occasions.
‘Brinkman should be left to stew in his own juice,’ GroenLinks MP Ineke van Gent told news agency ANP.
