Balkenende seeks solidarity over Fitna
Dutch Prime Minister, Jan Peter Balkenende is hoping to achieve some European solidarity in the event of violent reactions to Geert Wildeers’ Fitna at the EU summit in Brussels today.
The film is not an official agenda item, but Balkenende will broach the matter during the dinner in the evening. He and other Dutch ministers have been already talking with other European governments about the possible reactions to the film.
The Dutch are hoping for more support than Denmark received two years ago after the Muhammed cartoons were published.
