Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that the amnesty vote by Surinamese lawmakers last week was “totally unacceptable”, and warned at the time that the decision would have serious consequences.
The Netherlands recalled its ambassador immediately after the vote and in a further sign of protest, Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said on Wednesday that the government plans to suspend 20 million euros ($26 million) of aid to its former colony.
