Danger

Bertholee find these attacks a threat to democracy. '' The danger is twofold: the danger is that they interfere with and influence how our parliament might work, or how our government makes decisions. That's one side. The second part is that they are business secrets and economic secrets away and thus affect the economic earning power of the Dutch business community. ''
