The SGP stated that the Dutch flag should hang above the Dutch parliament, with exceptions for other national or supranational flags. The party described the rainbow flag not as a national flag, but as a symbol of interest groups and activism. According to the SGP, a motion had been submitted outside the usual order of debate that would require the raising of the rainbow flag next Sunday. The party wrote that this activism alienated many people, including those for whom the flag might have been intended. Because the House of Representatives represented the entire Dutch people, the SGP believed that caution was necessary with symbols that were not perceived as unifying by everyone. The party referred to the Dutch tricolor as the flag that united all Dutch people and said it would vote against the motion. https://t.co/F1BtVCURCb #Nederland #TweedeKamer #activisme (translated)
