Excerpt:
A number of parties have been caused embarrassment by Turkish and Arabic-language election posters that have appeared at various places in the country.
Labour (PvdA), the Christian democrats (CDA), centre-left D66, the Socialist Party (SP) and the leftwing Greens have posters up on which Islamic candidates are seeking their ethnic group's voting support. In all cases, these appear to have been initiated by the candidates themselves, without the prior knowledge of the party executive.
The PvdA in Rotterdam has removed election posters solely in Turkish promoting a candidate named Fikri Demirtas. "Posters with slogans in a foreign language are against the internal party line," said PvdA front-runner Dominic Schrijer. "It is an incident, I regret it. It will never happen again."
