The Netherlands concerned about developments in Hungary

The Dutch minister Rosenthal has voiced concerns about developments in Hungary, government news reported.

‘Just like other foreign ministers in Europe, I am concerned about developments in Hungary,’ foreign minister Uri Rosenthal stated.

The Dutch minister said that it was important that the European Commission is currently scrutinising changes to Hungary’s constitution that impact, for example, on the judiciary, the media and the central bank, particularly where they affect the independence of these institutions. He went on to say, ‘The new Hungarian legislation must be compatible with the European treaties.’

    The Dutch minister should be more concerned about their own affairs.

    Mr. Rosenthal’s new foreign policy could affect the Netherlands standing abroad gradually closing itself off from the outside world, thus risking its international reputation. Dutch foreign policy has become too inward-looking and too focused on economic interests.
    Until the Dutch people wakeup. it will be too late. This man is a Zionist. He’s not serving the Dutch interest and his major job is to take the Netherlands away from the good foreign policy it used to have.
    Please, Dutch people remove this sick Zionist from this Ministerial post before it’s too late.

    About time Hungary took control of their banks since bank executives have proven to be irresponsible in handling their banking mistakes and corruption. Germany and France shouldn’t be controlling the entire EU’s financial system either. Hungary is not a part of the euro currency for good reason.Good move on the Brits for staying clear of the euro fiasco. Doesn’t look too promising for 2012 for euro countries.
