In Bulgaria, an open letter addressed by Dutch Social Affairs and Employment Minister, Lodewijk Asscher, and the Director of the British Demos thinktank David Goodhart, warning the European Union against the "negative consequences" of the arrival of workers from central and eastern Europe has been met with amazement.
Presa notes that Asscher’s remarks “are reminiscent of his extreme right compatriot Geert Wilders,” and cites Bulgarian Minister for Employment, Hassan Ademov, who responded to the letter by announcing that his Dutch colleague was “wrong.”
Ademov also pointed out that Bulgaria and the Netherlands “have signed a bilateral agreement […] that establishes mechanisms for the control of labour markets in both countries, which prohibit the development of the black economy” — one of the fears expressed by Asscher and Goodhart.
