"Madam President, apart from the extremely racist and xenophobic nature of the new website created by the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), I cannot help but also mention the double standards and hypocrisy of the Netherlands Government. The latter is overlooking the anti-democratic practices of its ally, but becomes extremely nit-picking when it comes to assessing Romania’s and Bulgaria’s preparations for joining Schengen or lifting the labour restrictions on European citizens from the new Member States. The indifference of the Netherlands Government is demonstrated by its refusal to condemn the racist campaign being conducted by its extremist partners in the PVV, who have managed to dictate the Netherlands’ European policies. Urging good Dutch citizens to spy on non-Dutch European citizens is more than dangerous. Is this action not reminiscent of what happened in fascist Germany? The long tradition of democracy must force the Netherlands Government to abandon this cheap populism. The Commission must become involved in protecting the fundamental rights of European citizens and in nipping any act of racism right in the bud."@en1
