Diplomats remain persistent defaulters

But why would you even pay if you are diplomatic immune…

That sentence is of course not quite as it should be. In fact, it is very antisocial to think. However, it appears that the creed of most of the diplomats in our country that around. With their CD-license plates. But it is the warp and weft, as already mentioned. About half of the outstanding fines are never paid by the so-called ‘asdiplomaten”, says The Telegraph. You want numbers? Ok. In January, for about 5000 euros in fines imposed on the Corps Diplomatique, and it was only 250 euro paid. Is a small 5%, if I have it correctly. By the way, if I the cars of the average CD there see, I think a 5000 euro fine in a month is still pretty neat…

Former minister of Foreign Affairs Timmermans promised a few years back is still very hard to go take action against the defaulters, but since there are international treaties, that impose sanctions, and coercion to diplomats prohibit, it is actually a toothless dog. Because to do more than SHAME on call there is not. The only sanction that Timmerfrans actually could impose, was the taking of the tankpas of the diplomats… And there you have them, because there are enough gemeenschapsknaken that side sent, then a tank of petrol also no problem.

D66 Member of parliament Sjoerdsma says, incidentally, true words about these defaulters. “It is painful to see that the government revenue want away from citizens through fines to increase”. But foreign diplomats do not pay. We have to wait, unfortunately, still on a approach of the government.” And so it is.
