A Trumpian entry ban?

Parliament’s meeting about the controversial appointment of Dutch quartermaster Hans Leijtens to the non-existent Integrity Chamber drifted to its predictable conclusion yesterday afternoon.

The Parliament stood united and condemned the appointment – a message Kingdom Relations Minister Plasterk will probably take in stride.

More interesting is obviously what will happen next. Will Plasterk send Leijtens indeed to St. Maarten? And if so, what is the good man going to do here? Is it possible to issue a Trumpian entry ban?

Will civil servants and ministers massively refuse to cooperate with whatever it is Leijtens comes here to do?

The condemnation of the appointment is just and it is nice to see the Parliament united instead of divided, but the question remains whether this will solve the problem.
