“It is extremely annoying and very unpleasant that promise proved unsustainable.”
Pechtold: Rutte threw sand in eyes of voters
The leaders of opposition parties gather en masse at the interruption microphones. After Wilders opens Alexander Pechtold of D66 attacking Rutte for breaking election promises. Pechtold:
“You have sand in the eyes of voters scattered. So it’s not in my politics. But yours apparently “
According to Rutte, however, has since 2012 changed a lot:
” When there was just agreement on a second bailout package and the Greeks were concerned with the implementation. And that went well. The context was at that time so that there was no question of a third aid package. But since then, the Greek government has caused so much damage that a third package is needed it. “

Rutte:
“The policy requires taking responsibility. To make choices in the best interests of the Netherlands. Sometimes it happens thereby that a promise is not sustainable, because sometimes things differently than you anticipated. This is inevitable in politics, and then you have to explain it well. “
Bontes closes the series
The final speaker in this first round Louis Bontes, Group Bontes / Clover. He makes the monologue that Wilders still debate began all over again. The sitting is suspended fifteen minutes.
“I thought, this is not the Europe of along the shoulders to the wheel, but a country of europe together force on the knees. GroenLinks as we always felt that a deal was better than no agreement. But that has changed this summer. Because Europe has opted for an agreement reached with threatening to prevent vision loss. This course is not democratic. “
The solution is now being put forward is not the solution. Because the debts remain. But there are other solutions, finds Clover, but the government does not want to search. Because the government acts as if there is only one solution is possible, and has become the “most rigid hardliner” Europe. Clover decision:
“This is not no to the agreement, no to money to Greece. Our no is a no to the economism of our government. “

Harbers against Pechtold: we need your support not required
Pechtold is Harbers on the fact that the VVD is always pronounce fierce, with “thick black heads in the newspaper”. Self always off for the stage and then rely on other parties “to save your own ass.” Because, as emphasized Pechtold, without the support of D66 there were only 76 MPs for the new package for Greece. One dissident is enough to make things flops:
“You can not land one day put away as pariahs and the next day to make 5 billion.”
Harbers answer: we need your support required. That comment leads to some noise in the Chamber.
Buma where is the parliamentary leader of the VVD
Sybrand Buma of the CDA-VVD is speaker Mark Harbers immediately interrupting?. Why the leader of his party performs not know the word, Buma wants. With all other parties that is precisely the case. Only VVD and PvdA have sent their finance spokesman. VVD faction leader Halbe Zijlstra is not even in the audience grumbled Buma. “He goes, I dare say.”
Slob: solution chosen not the correct
Chairman Arie Slob of the Christian Union, like the Labour Party that no measures have been easy when it comes to Greece. But the solution that is now chosen as for him not the right.

Slob and worries that the Greek government does not reach the end of the year. “Then we start from scratch again.” He asks the Cabinet:
“Why do you support for the third time to prescribe the same recipe as previous times already showed that it did not help? “
The Christian Union therefore prefer debt, something that even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently called for.

“Look what is happening in the Greek islands. Lesvos, Kos, they are overwhelmed by refugees. We see what awaits us? Let us play if Europe apart from Greece? People will be talking fear, for lazy Greeks. But the dangers lie elsewhere. A united Europe keep our currency strong, secure our borders and Russia outside the door “
