Dutch government officially departs from Multiculturism

[JJHH]

Friday 17 June 2011

Dutch society and its values must take precedence and integration policy should go, home affairs minister Piet Hein Donner told parliament on Thursday evening during the presentation of his integration bill.

Donner spoke of a 'change of direction' in which the government 'will distance itself from the relativism contained in the model of a multicultural society'. Society changes, he said, but must not be 'interchangeable with any other form of society', according to press reports.

Perhaps this is the beginning of the swing back from the Left...

I dont find this very suprising

Well done Netherlands.

The tolerance crowd will not be amused not to talk about representatives of some "cultures".

"When in Rome do as the Romans".

Excellent attitude. Enjoy Holland!

The Perussuomalaiset (True Finns for you anglophones) party here in Finland, very strongly opposing multicultural society, post-modernism in art etc are, of course, quite a conservative party but according to this kind of four field analysis where the opposites are conservatism<->liberalism and leftist ideology<->right wing ideology, they fall more to the left. Sounds bit like "good" old NS of 3rd Reich?

Well done Netherlands... I hope this trend continues around Europe.

Although you are de facto right, it's surprising to see how many lefties or liberals actually oppose multiculturalism. After all, multiculturalism is conservative at best, but in most cases even reactionary. The real surprise is why lefties fell for the whole multi-culti BS in the first place.

So kudo's for getting rid of the multiculti society, but... saying we will get "Dutch values" in stead, is not very specific. Let's wait and see who will define what those values exactly are.

I didn't vote them and I am against so called "multicultural society".

I want an example where multiculturalism works

Donner is a pretty conservative christian, he's from the Christian Democrats, he's been Justice Minister, Social Affairs Minister, and now Minister of Internal Affairs. Whenever he says something, you can bet people will listen.

What, the country where most people think learning a second language is a complete waste of time?
