Dutch foreign minister under fire after ‘crude’ multicultural society comments (https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/07/dutch-foreign-minister-under-fire-after-crude-multicultural-society-comments/)
Dutch foreign minister Stef Blok is under fire after making a string of controversial comments about immigrants and refugees as well as saying he is unaware of any successful multicultural societies.
The comments were made by Blok at private meeting with Dutch nationals who work for international organisations.
One of the participants has given television current affairs programme Zembla mobile phone footage of the event. The source, who wants to remain anonymous, told Zembla many of the participants were shocked by the minister’s words.

Stef Blok’s migration comments back on agenda, Jesse Klaver writes open letter (https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2018/08/stef-bloks-migration-comments-back-on-agenda-jesse-klaver-writes-open-letter/)
The leader of the left wing green party Jesse Klaver has sent an open letter to prime minister Mark Rutte urging him to distance himself from comments about migration made by foreign minister Stef Blok last month.
In the letter, Klaver says it is incomprehensible that the prime minister has not yet done so.
Blok has been under fire since television current affairs show Zembla went public with footage of the minister at a meeting for Dutch nationals who work in foreign organisations.
Good.

The Dutch are famously blunt when it comes to this. Read the first article. I laughed.
