WILLEMSTAD - Member of Parliament for the PIN party Rennox Calmes asks for solidarity from the Netherlands. He makes that clear in a letter to the Dutch Member of Parliament Jan Paternotte.
Calmes points to the consequences of the salary reduction of top officials. He argues that this is necessary, but that this also means less purchasing power and fewer premiums that can be collected.
He also emphasizes that unemployment is rising to 55 percent and last week's protests made it clear that more austerity measures cannot be borne. Calmes calls on the Dutch MPs to think about this on Friday when new conditions are announced.
