Pakjesavond is nog niet eens geweest, maar de decemberverrassing is al binnen. Vandaag meldt NRC dat de PVV het niet relevant vindt dat koningin Maxima twee paspoorten heeft voor haar belangrijke functie als potentieel regentes. Sterker nog, het argument op die gronden aandragen zou oneigenlijk zijn.
Dit is m’n kortste post ooit, maar dit kon natuurlijk niet wachten. Even allemaal retweeten & doorzetten, lezers?
Enne, PVV: gelijk maar even de Rijkswet aanpassen dan?
Dubbele nationaliteit met een diplomaten paspoort….
Okay, fine that an unelected person, e.g. Maxima, may have a lot of political control in the Netherland (nobody should fool themselves otherwise), but then stop harassing Dutch citizens abroad and foreigners who live in the Netherlands about having two passports. Anything less would be down right hypocritical!
BTW, Had some problems trying to react via FB. Would prefer to be able to login with my own chosen screen name to comment. It’s not always comfortable in the Netherlands for foreigners who express their views, and hope you can understand that.
Agreed!
I’m Dutch and living overseas, I can’t have a double passport only because the Dutch governement drops you like a dirty rocks as soon as you select another nationality as your second one… If it’s not allowed for us, it should not be allowed for foreigners either! Even if your name is Maxima and The People ‘love’ you.
In fact, Maxima’s position as an Argentinian has very little to do with Dutch law… it’s simply because the Argentinian law does not allow its citizens to give up their citizenship. (Which I think is equally unfree.) But always keep in mind: there are 2 legal systems at play, which in principle cannot influence each other.
I just think it’s weird they sort of drop you like a bad apple and then there’s people in a village in Romania that get ‘subsidised’ with lots of tax payers money. Illegal, but there ar loopholes in the law that they have been using?!
I don’t think it’s appropriate to compare these two issues like that, and my blog is used and meant only as a positive encouragement to fight for the rights of Dutch people abroad.

Are the Dutch following suit?

Seen it, thx:) Hopefully the Dutch will follow suit, but it will require a continuation of our fight. We’re in it for the long haul.
Thx

Hi, Eelco,
misschien is dit een goede aanleiding er weer een schepje bovenop te doen ?
Wat de koningin mag mogen wij toch ook ?

The Dutch Government makes it really hard for persons how do there best to cape up with Holland and the business. If you live a long time out side Holland and you built up Home, Family, children and all legal stuff what needs to be done in the county where you live, work for exporting and importing goods out of Holland. How if you want to stay Dutch, you can protect your self not later if something happened to your wife/husband, you can guarantee your children a good and save live. If politics’s makes it impossible ? It is unfair for all how do there job out side, fall in love to say you may not do. Plus all what you have built up in a other country is on stack to. Rules I do understand, but I do not see this kind of problems so far. We need all to give out taxes info to the Netherlands every year, and make the payments to if it is needs to. So how the Government can ask us to give up all what you worked and loved for in a other country ? This is not normal, plus I agree if someone gets a second Passport, then in a democratic system where we all are proud of as Dutch ones and well-known to in this world. Then it means for all how have that right to have it. Even a country from out side that says you cannot get from there nationality Law is Law. This person with all my respect in this country, what with the ones how are born in The Netherlands ??? Mother Earth is mother Earth, and nobody can that take away from someone. If you take the sprout away you take there soul away. There was a time that something was high in there be leave to by Hollander. We are strong if we cape together, a small nation with in big input over the world in history. Dutch are every where and still they are, cape it so then a small country like The Netherlands, Holland my homeland remains big. There for I’m a Dutch man….!!! And by the way do they not have more important things to do in Den Hague ? We Dutch how live though there work, family and other reasons we cape our country up without or with a second passport there for we are proud-hearted Hollanders.
Heeft Wilders niet een niet-Nederlandse vrouw? Is toch ook geen probleem?!
En wat die loyaliteit voor een land betreft: ik mag in de VS geen hoge ‘clearance’ hebben voor de federale regering. Maar als je maar 1 paspoort hebt (en Amerikaan bent), dan mag je wel met grote geheimen naar het buitenland vertrekken (zie meneer Snowden), iets wat ik nooit zou doen. Dus die loyaliteit aan een land is op geen enkele manier verbonden aan hoeveel paspoorten je hebt.
