WILLEMSTAD - Undersecretary Raymond Knops yesterday reacted fiercely to criticism of his presence while distributing food packages.
According to Knops, it is only normal that he takes a look at the distribution of those packages. He emphasizes that the Netherlands has given 40 million euros to help the Red Cross with those food packages.
He finds his presence no more than normal.
Critics accused him of making a "show" with the food packages for people in need. Knops called this incorrect. And called on everyone to pay attention to those who are struggling financially.
