Jetten Expresses Regret Over 'Slap in the Face' Comment: 'Should Have Expressed It More Tactfully'
Prime Minister Jetten apologized for remarks made at a D66 congress where he stated that those attacking LGBTQ+ and minority rights would be "slapped in the face." Following criticism from fellow parliamentarians, Jetten described the comment as a spontaneous slip of the tongue rather than a call for violence. He clarified that his intention was to passionately advocate for equal rights and Dutch norms, promising to choose his words more carefully in the future.
