"At the beginning of February, the Dutch Freedom Party (PVV) set up the hotline ‘Meldpunt Midden en Oost Europeanen’ and called on people to report complaints relating to ‘mass immigration from Central or Eastern Europe’, especially of Poles, Romanians and Bulgarians. The hotline is particularly interested in whether people have encountered problems of antisocial behaviour, or have lost jobs due to these people.
Article 21 of the TFEU, however, enshrines the free movement of citizens in the EU, whilst the free movement of workers is enshrined in Article 45 of the TFEU. The EU is based on the values of democracy and the principles of the rule of law and unconditional respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, as set out in the Charter of Fundamental rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights.
The PVV hotline, however, openly incites discrimination against workers from EU Member States in Central and Eastern Europe, and creates barriers between the communities in Dutch society. I firmly believe that such behaviour is reprehensible, as it violates the basic European values of human dignity, liberty, equality, the principles of the rule of law and respect for human rights, and risks destroying the very essence of the Union, which is comprised of plurality, non-discrimination, tolerance, justice, solidarity and freedom of movement. With this fact in mind, it is the duty of all EU Member State governments to guarantee the rights of freedom of movement and non-discrimination."@en1
