Motion Pepijn van Houwelingen about the North Stream Pipelines

On 19 March 2024, FVD MP Pepijn van Houwelingen put down a motion in the Dutch parliament saying that if a state were found to have blown up the Nord Stream pipelines, it should be considered a hostile power.  Now that no one believes Russia did it any more, and that the finger points clearly at the USA (or perhaps Ukraine), every single party in the parliament, except FVD, voted against the motion.

and proceeds with the order of business.
