The response from Asylum Minister Marjolein Faber (PVV) was not convincing and that is why GroenLinks-PvdA leader Frans Timmermans must…

“Ministers are not stamping machines,” the minister said in question time in the House of Representatives. As far as part of the opposition is concerned, the question of trust will be on the table tomorrow.

Minister Marjolein Faber (Asylum and Migration, PVV) offers no apologies for her refusal to sign for ribbons for COA volunteers. PVV leader Geert Wilders calls the threat of a motion of no confidence ‘insane’.

The opposition had accused the minister of incompetence.

The Lower House was the scene of a heated exchange of words between PVV leader Geert Wilders and GroenLinks-PvdA leader Frans Timmermans on Wednesday. The reason was the behaviour and actions of Minister Marjolein Faber (Asylum and Migration, PVV). She stands by her decision not to sign so that volunteers in asylum reception can receive a medal.

SocialWe have always (well, last weekend, ed.) learned that you should not make the handing out of medals political. That is why the House of Representatives debated yesterday for an extremely entertaining half hour about the handing out of medals, and the House of Representatives is debating the handing out of medals in more detail today.
