The Public Prosecution Service will investigate whether statements by Minister of Education Slob are punishable, if a complaint is made against the minister. With this communication, the Public Prosecution Service responds to an encouragement from Pink in Blue, the network within the police that deals with discrimination, on Facebook to file a report
Minister Slob said in a debate yesterday that reformed schools have the right on the basis of the constitution to have parents distance themselves from a ‘homosexual lifestyle’ in a statement, as long as there is a safe school climate for all students. That occurred to him much criticism.
Slob came off today statements back. In response to all the fuss, he said that such ‘statements of identity’ do go too far.
Questions about declaration
According to Pink in Blue, people wondered today whether it is possible to file a report. It is not yet clear whether declarations have actually been received.
The question is whether a declaration against Minister Slob makes sense. According to the constitution, members of the States General, ministers and state secretaries cannot be criminally prosecuted for what they say or write to parliament in parliamentary debates.
On Twitter says the Public Prosecution Service: “The Public Prosecution Service has not yet judged the statements of Minister Slob of Education. If reports are made against the statements, the police will process the reports. taken along, that if decisions have been made in parliament, enjoy this immunity. “
