VVD annoyance broadcasting commercials

The VVD is annoyed by the infomercials of the public broadcaster which criticizes the government cuts. Member of Parliament Matthijs Huizing announced he will question Minister Sander Dekker of Media Affairs about the matter.The infomercials call on viewers and listeners to sign a petition against the government cuts in public broadcast. The spots are public broadcasting unworthy, according to the VVD MP . Moreover, they contain factual inaccuracies. Ster_logo

They must decide how to manage a smaller budget. Huizing thinks these actions qualify as improper use of public money. He wants Dekker to summon the Dutch Public Broadcasting (NPO) to immediately stop the commercials.
