"I want to express my concern about the website launched on the initiative of the PVV party, on which complaints about people from Central and Eastern Europe living and working in the Netherlands can be posted. This website breaches the European principle of freedom. Under Articles 15 and 45 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, citizens have a right to freedom of movement, to engage in work and to study. The portal breaches the principle of a dialogue. It is one-sided and subjective in its assessment. It is aimed directly at a specific group of people and incites hatred.
Let us not forget that citizens of Central and Eastern Europe working in the Netherlands also participate in building the Dutch economy. As a Pole and a citizen of Europe, who knows its history, I would point out that many Polish soldiers died for the freedom of the Netherlands during World War Two. The soldiers under General Stanisław Maczek of the First Armoured Division deserve to be mentioned, who, after heavy fighting, liberated many Dutch towns, such as Breda, without civilian casualties. At that time, the residents did not spare their words of appreciation and gestures of gratitude to the Poles for the considered tactics which avoided the destruction of their homes and monuments. In the windows of Dutch homes, there were signs in Polish reading ‘Thank you, Poles’. We are building a Europe in which all citizens should be treated equally, and I appeal for this pursuant to Articles 20 and 21 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights."@en1
