NL Times writes that Prime Minister Mark Rutte thinks it is better if
Dutch jihadists who traveled to join the fight in Syria and Iraq die
there instead of returning to the Netherlands. He said this in the RTL
election debate last night.
This statement met opposition from all the other party leaders involved in the debate, with the exception of Geert Wilders (PVV), who was absent due to illness.
Alexander Pechtold (D66) called Rutte’s (VVD) position “unworthy of a Prime Minister” and stated that Rutte was expressing the ideas of Wilders by endorsing the position. “I find that you really can not say: go die in the desert” Pechtold thinks that the Netherlands should bring returned jihadists to justice.
Note Almere Digest: "Come on Mr. Pechtold, stop playing the "goodie-goodie man' - you don't win elections that way.
Specially not against Mark Rutte, who is fighting for his political life and Geert Wilders, who is willing to say or lie about anything to show he is a "true" nationalist who only has the interest of the people and his country at heart."
