Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 1033: Insult to the Royal Family

On December 30, 1881, Jules Danetang, deputy prime minister and finance minister of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and leader of the Socialist Party, apologized to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, blaming the Liberal Party for distorting its remarks.

Meanwhile the Socialist New Zealand Senate candidate accused the Liberals of deliberately distorting his speech.

Sharon, who is also the local campaign director of the New Zealand Provincial Party of the Socialist Party, was accused of questioning the number of members of the royal family of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in a speech on the afternoon of December 29. He called on His Majesty to follow the example of the people and have more children to stabilize the succession of the Dutch royal family. He also criticized New Zealand's fellow senatorial candidates as having low quality.

The Liberal Party's campaign department refuted Sharon and directly accused Sharon of challenging the royal family's right to free reproductive freedom. It was wrong and disloyal and disrespectful to the royal family. It reported Sharon's remarks to the Wellington Police in New Zealand.

Justice Robert Cook of the Dutch Supreme Court, who is responsible for law and institutions, also spoke on this matter, emphasizing that legally, an apology cannot be a legal means of defense.

Robert Cook is the old leader of the new faction of the Christian Party and Lyndon's main party ally. At this time, he stood up and spoke, which obviously represented Prime Minister Lyndon's attitude.

Now, the new Christian Party seems to be leaning towards the Liberal Party, while the old Christian Party is siding with the Socialist Party. This seems to make the Dutch election more exciting.

Sharon added that a royal spokesman told him that Prince Albert had agreed to accept and read his letter of apology. He revealed that he had gone to the Wellington Police Station to record a statement early this morning.

Sharon even stated at the police station that he had sent a letter to the royal family to apologize, and claimed that the opposition Liberal Party deliberately distorted his remarks in an attempt to strangle him and gain political benefits from it.

However, regarding Sharon's statement, a spokesperson for the royal family stated that it has received and read the apology letter. However, the royal family's attitude towards Sharon's apology and its original refusal to forgive him will be announced after further analysis of his true attitude.

Justice Robert supported the royal spokesperson's answer and condemned the failure to apologize.

Dutch National Police Chief Zarudin confirmed that the police have launched an investigation into Sharon's remarks. Sharon is from the Socialist Party. The police have received 11 reports against Sharon, the New Zealand campaign director.

Polls show that 70% of new immigrants in New Zealand supported the Socialist Party, overwhelming the Liberal Party and the Christian Party. Now, due to Sharon, the number has dropped sharply to only 51%, barely more than half. The Socialist Party has ruled New Zealand for ten years. It no longer holds an absolute advantage.

At the same time, the Dutch Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice plan to enact strict new laws to directly disqualify candidates who talk about the royal family.

At the same time, all candidates must swear allegiance to the royal family, otherwise they will be disqualified from running. This is also required after being elected before they can officially join the office.

In the 39 provincial and municipal elections in the Netherlands that started at 10 o'clock today, the ruling and opposition parties attacked each other, accusing each other of trying to exaggerate religious, racial and royal issues.

Naturally, the Socialist Party would not sit back and watch one of its own people be attacked and ignore it. So some people accused Nussi, the Liberal Party candidate for the South Australian Senate, saying that he was disrespectful to religion. He had a smile on his face during many serious worship services. smile.

As soon as this statement came out, Nussi's support rating immediately dropped. Like the royal family, the Dutch white people are a country with more than 88% of the Christian faith, and the rest also have their own religious objects. At this time, it was revealed that there were problems with their faith, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. It is even said that the local church Stand up and negotiate

However, in this regard, many senior members of the Liberal Party, such as former Prime Minister Rocusson, stood up to support Nussi, saying that "he is the leader of South Australia given by Shangcang." "I think Nussi is someone who can work day and night. His aura is very strong, especially in South Australia. Although he is sometimes rude in his words, people can accept his views."

When canvassing for Nussi's platform in Adelaide, Rocusson publicly stated: "Anyone who provokes issues that create division, disrupt public order, and disrespect the system of rulers should be careful to remember that this is illegal. Behavior, and you will not be able to apologize like Sharon, the New Zealand senatorial candidate of the Liberal Party, the impartial police station will find you. As a politician or a person in power, we should be aware of our nonsense. Enough to sway the masses, especially during elections.”

On December 30, 1881, at 10 a.m., the first batch of voting provinces in the general election of the Kingdom of the Netherlands were Queensland, South Australia, North Belgium, Madagascar, Northern Australia, Hawaii, South Pacific, Dutch East Indies, and New Zealand. A total of 13 provinces (Guinea, Western Australia, West Holland, South Australia, and Alaska) (one-third of the 39 provinces and cities in the Netherlands) began to vote one after another.

At the same time, Sharon, the Socialist Party senatorial candidate in New Zealand Province, was charged with two counts of incitement at 11 a.m. that day for allegedly insulting the Dutch royal family and infringing on the moral integrity of his rival. The Socialist Party began to prepare for the replacement candidate two days later. , and at the same time ask a lawyer to help him face the charges.

Analysts from the Australian Institute of Peace pointed out that this election is going on, and it is clear that the three parties are trying their best to occupy more of their own territory. The Christian Party is divided into two factions, the Queensland Hall family of the Liberal Party is in trouble, and the Socialist Party of New Zealand is also hastily launching candidates. The effect is unpredictable and everything is messed up. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. That is, it seems that the Socialist Party still has the upper hand. The Liberal Party is catching up. The Socialist Party hopes to further suppress the Liberal Party, while the Liberal Party hopes to use the card of insulting the royal family to suppress the further rise of the Socialist Party.

According to the first charge, Spike Long said in his speech that the Dutch royal family should have more children, rather than just asking the public to have more children to push the Dutch population to catch up with the populations of various powerful countries in Europe. This is equivalent to completely vetoing William IV and William IV. The fact that Her Majesty Queen Alexandra has given birth to two princes and two princesses is considered an insult to the contribution Queen Alexandra and Her Majesty William IV have made to the stability of the country.

Even the royal family's lawyer publicly quoted the number of other royal family members in Europe to describe the number of the four children of the Dutch royal family. For example, William I of the German Empire had only one son and one daughter, and Crown Prince Frederick now only has one grandson, Crown Prince William. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom currently has seven children, but three sons and four daughters, which is currently only three more than the Dutch royal family. That's all, but don't forget that Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire stopped Archduke Ferdinand from inheriting. Our Dutch royal family can have 4 direct heirs to the king and queen.

Therefore, the lawyer representing the royal family expressed that he did not agree with Sharon's point of view. Regardless of whether his starting point is to hope that the royal family will be more stable or something else, interfering with the reproductive rights of the two royal majesties is an insult to the royal family and should be accused of shaking the royal rule. Power finally can no longer apologize easily.
