Deep state called out. The entire Dutch government left the chamber and halted debate when @thierrybaudet mentioned that the Finance Minister studied at a 'spy college' in Oxford. Their over-reaction speaks volumes. 'The lady doth protest too much, methinks.' #FVD
Separation of powers? The Speaker stopped the debate when ministers walked out and she then silenced Thierry Baudet, thereby subjecting the people's representatives to the childish whims of the executive, just as Baudet was warning of about top-down dictatorship!
Baudet: 'the Speaker asked me to withdraw my remarks.
So I was supposed to say that Sigrid Kaag did not study at St. Antony's College, Oxford.'
Kaag: Baudet speaks 'on behalf of a dictator', meaning Russian president Vladimir Putin.
She will decry you for supposedly spreading lies and insinuations about her, but has no qualms about doing the exact same thing herself. It's intentional hypocrisy. nos.nl/artikel/244550…
Watch the bizarre moment when the government walks out as @thierrybaudet is speaking. Apparently his speech hit a nerve.
