Opposition parties in the House find it incomprehensible that has not tried Netherlands Ibrahim detect el-Bakraoui. "The FBI has warned Netherlands in March and there is then no action taken to address it. I quite understand not understand that," said GroenLinks leader Clover in a debate in the House.
MP Bontes: "You will even bring police officers in danger who patrol an area and do not know that these dangerous people might be in the Netherlands.." Also PVV leader Geert Wilders called the incomplete reply from Minister Van der Steur a low point in the debate.Wilders wants Van der Steur himself reflecting on his position.
Minister Van der Steur said in response that the Belgians had not asked a warrant and that the Netherlands itself had no cause. The MPs being Van der Steur that Bakraoui just as well could have been sitting in the Netherlands.
Why the Netherlands?
The parties also wanted to know why the FBI just knocked in the Netherlands with that information. "I do not know, I'm going to ask the House and I will later inform", the minister said.
Much still remains unclear as to why the Netherlands is not active in Turkey called for the expulsion of Ibrahim el-Bakraoui. PVV leader Geert Wilders still can not understand why at no point in the issue Bakraoui active calls from Netherlands to learn more about who he was and why he was expelled from Turkey to the Netherlands. Wilders: "They have invented something, and it seems to work on both sides, it's called a phone."
The government stressed in the debate that the Netherlands has made no mistakes in the matter. Next week, the debate continues.
