Relatives MH17 angry with Wilders
amsterdam - The relatives of the victims of the air disaster with the MH17 are angry with Geert Wilders. The politician wears a friendship pin during his visit to Russia.
'The Russian federation is involved in the murder of 298 civilians. Emphasizing friendship with Russia by a member of parliament is inappropriate. '
Geert Wilders tweeted a picture of a pin on his lapel last night with a Dutch and a Russian flag with the text. 'I proudly wear it here, a Russian-Dutch friendship pin.'
Piet Ploeg of the Vliegramp MH17 foundation: 'We demand apologies from Wilders, this really is not possible. That he explains Russia's love while Russia is involved in the disaster. A completely different attitude fits in with this. '
'The Stichting Vliegramp MH17 rejects the action of Mr. Wilders forcefully,' writes the foundation on Twitter.
Thomas Schansman, who lost his son, writes on Twitter: 'What a disgusting expression! A Dutch representative unworthy! 17 July 2014 # MH17 was shot from the air and my son was murdered by the Russians.'
