Dutch MP Calls for Support of West Papua’s Independence Struggle || AK Rockefeller: The Dutch PVV party believes the Netherlands should support West Papua’s struggle for independence from Indonesia. MP Wim Kortenoeven has asked Minister Uri Rosenthal (VVD) of Foreign Affairs to press upon the Indonesian government to stop using violence to suppress the Papuan seperatist movement.
At the very least, Dutch diplomats should be present at the reading of Papua’s Declaration of Independence on December 1st in West Papua. Their presence could help to prevent a bloodbath, says Kortenoeven.
The PVV MP spoke at a budget meeting for the Department of Foreign Affairs. He wore a badge with the Morning Star flag on the lapel. The Morning Star flag was a gift from the Netherlands in 1961 to the Papuans to support their struggle for independence.
