Spade_Cooley 9,527 Posted April 28, 2015 I noticed DDP pick Jorge Zorreguieta was celebrating Kings Day at Buenos Aires' Dutch embassy. Doesn't look like he's about to die in the next few weeks but you can never tell. Also it should be pointed out he is responsible for the murders of lots of people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,400 Posted April 28, 2015 Zorreguieta's crimes are not held against his daughter, but essentially he's a persona non grata in the Netherlands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted May 5, 2015 Hans Jansen, a member of the European Parliament, is dead at age 72 from a stroke. As usual, my lazy arse couldn't be bothered to find a UK obit. All I saw was Dutch. I guess I could've posted it, since it would probably look something like this: Een europarlamenatareen de Nederland, Hans Jansen, ist ded et het age 72 de een strok. So we would've been able to understand it. *waits for MH to correct me on how that would actually look like in Dutch* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since he was a buddy of Geert Wilders I'd be inclined to say: good riddance, but the fact of the matter is that Jansen will soon be replaced by another buddy, and probably an even worse fascist anti-islamist.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted May 7, 2015 In other Dutch news: Dutch political activist Abulkasim Al-Jaberi, who shouted "Fuck de koning, fuck de koningin, fuck het koningshuis!"1 at a political rally in December, recieved a summons yesterday to face trial on May 27, accused of lèse-majesté. As was to be expected, this caused quite a stir, and today the public prosecutor announced that the trial has been put off and that he will reconsider the case. Interestingly, mr Al-Jaberi's lawyer called Willem-Alexander and Máxima as witnesses. 1Fuck the king, fuck the queen, fuck the monarchy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted June 6, 2015 Yesterday Dutch Communist MP Frits Dragstra died, aged 87. He was a very vocal opponent of closing of Dutch coal mines in the 70s. Those mines were closed anyway; they couldn't compete with cheap imports and the newly discovered natural gas. I remember him best for the fact that I voted for him in the first general election in which I had the vote. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
