The Public Prosecution Service will not further investigate the so-called mass declaration against Hugo de Jonge. As a outgoing corona minister, De Jonge was accused of making threatening statements towards Dutch people who did not get a corona shot. According to the Public Prosecution Service, there is no criminal offense.
De Jonge made his offending statements in the Senate last November. There he said; fairly good, fairly precise per zip code, to know’ where the group of people who are against vaccination is located. According to the declarants, he was thus guilty of hate speech, threats and group insult.
The Public Prosecution Service sees no evidence for this. The agency concludes that De Jonge only indicated at the time that he “wanted to talk to those who refused to allow them to opt for vaccination on a voluntary basis.” There is therefore no incitement to hatred, violence or discrimination against unvaccinated people.’
According to the Public Prosecution Service, there is also no question of a threat, because there must be ‘a reasonable fear of a crime’. In this case it wouldn’t show. ‘The fact that there are people who say they feel threatened is not a legal criterion. Nor is there any question of coercion.’
Made up names
According to the initiators, more than 69,000 people joined the report, but the Public Prosecution Service states that there is insufficient evidence that their data is correct. A sample would show that there were ‘obviously made-up names’ among the applications. That is why the Public Prosecution Service sees the report as ‘one report with a large number of statements of support’. Interested parties could register via a website.
