Adults in the Netherlands are disappointed with the actions of a lawmaker, according to a poll by TNS NIPO. 83 per cent of respondents believe Ayaan Hirsi Ali should resign from the lower house.
The Somali-born Hirsi Ali was first elected as a representative of the PeopleÂ’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD). She had been a target of at least one militant organization due to her critical views on Islam.
On May 15, Dutch officials revealed that Hirsi Ali provided false information when she applied for refugee status, and then when she sought citizenship. The next day, the lawmaker announced that she would leave the Second Chamber immediately. Hirsi Ali confirmed that she intends to move to the United States and work at the American Enterprise Institute. |
