This attitude of the Dutch Government, which places it side by side with notoriously dictatorial and racist powers like South Africa and Spain, does not conform with the anti-colonial feelings of the majority of the Dutch people. Large sectors of opinion, among political parties, cultural, religious and youth organisations, have expressed their deep oppostion to this pro-colonialist attitude on the part of their government. The Dutch Parliament, also concerned by the extent of the support of its government to the colonialist Portuguese regime, echoed the general feelings of the people at the parliamentary debate on external policy. The problem was examined for the first time in February and June, 1969. A majority of the Dutch parliament strongly criticised the government for its close links with and sympathetic attitude towards Portuguese policy in Africa and insisted that the Dutch government should clearly disassociate itself from that policy* One of the main forms of Dutch support for Portugal occurs within the structure of NATO, whose contribution to the pursuance cf the colonial war has proved to be decisive* In October, 1969. the Dutch Angola- Comite, an organisation of support for the peoples under Portuguese colonialism, published an extensive study "Portugal and NATO", in which is documented in an irrefutable form the participation of the structure and material of NATO in the repression of the peoples of Angola, Mozambique and Guinea* On January 27th of this year the representatives of the three movements of the Portuguese colonies MPLA, PAIGC and FRELIMO were received in the Hague by the Commission of Foreign Affairs in the Dutch parliament. They raised among other points the need to put an end to the help given to the Portuguese Government. At the annual Parliamentary debate on external policy that took place on the 10, 11, and 12 of last February, the Earliament's criticism was directed with great intensity against the government's policies, aiming particularly at the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr, Luns, for his continued support to Portugal.
