A Polish and Romanian member of the European parliament have called on people in central and eastern Europe to boycott Dutch products in protest at the government’s refusal to condemn what they say is a discriminatory website.

Last week, the anti-immigration PVV launched a website where people can list complaints about central and eastern Europeans. The poll is juxtaposed next to newspaper headlines stating ‘Eastern Europeans increasingly criminal’ and ‘why don’t you go home’.
Prime minister Mark Rutte has refused to condemn the website, saying it is a matter for the PVV not the government. The PVV has an alliance with the minority coalition.
The letter, from MEPs Sebastian Valentin Bodu and Jacek Saryusz -Wolski, states ‘we consider that the attitude of the PVV, a supporter of the current government, as insulting and threatening’. And it criticizes Rutte for failing to distance himself from the website.
‘A boycott of Dutch products coming from 100 million consumers is the right answer to the extremism promoted by the PVV and it will send a clear message to the Dutch government that we are not second class citizens and, more than this, we count. If the Dutch do not want us, we do not want their product,’ the letter states.
