Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof’s right-wing coalition government has survived despite the resignation of a minister over alleged racist comments by cabinet colleagues related to clashes in Amsterdam between Israeli football fans and Palestinian supporters.
Junior Finance Minister Nora Achahbar unexpectedly quit the cabinet on Friday to protest against claims by some politicians, including far-right leader Geert Wilders, that Dutch youth of Moroccan descent attacked the Israeli fans during last week’s match between Dutch side Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
