PNG - persona non grata

During a standoff in Rotterdam lasting around four hours, Kaya accused police of violating “human rights, democracy and international law” by barring her entry to the consulate. Just after 1am she was led away to a car, protesting vocally, and escorted over the border to Germany, from where she flew back to Ankara by private jet.

Around an hour later police dispersed the remnants of a crowd of several thousand demonstrators using water cannon and mounted charges. Twelve people were arrested and several shop windows were smashed on Rotterdam’s Plein 1940, but large-scale violence was avoided.

[...]

The mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, said at a press conference just before 2am that Kaya had been designated an “unwanted foreign national” and ordered to leave the country with her security personnel.

Aboutaleb claimed Turkey’s consul general had given him false assurances that the minister would not be going to the consulate. “He lied flat-out. He called on people to come to the consulate where the minister would be giving a speech,” Aboutaleb said.


Are the Turks actively trying to boost the PVV? The Dutch elections on Wednesday are going to be interesting. Then there are elections in France and Germany this year, too.

Turkey has slowly been headed down the drain for quite a while, not much from them would surprise me any more.
