A poster circulated by far right party Forum voor Democratie which linked World War II with the current anti-coronavirus measures has been criticized by two high profile party members.
Wybren van Haga, the party’s number two and main spokesman on coronavirus, told MPs on Thursday he felt the comparison was ‘not sensible for several reasons’.
‘It gives me an uneasy feeling and … gets in the way of the discussion,’ he said during a debate on the government’s coronavirus measures. ‘As far as I am concerned it is totally unnecessary to rip open these sorts of wounds.’
