Immigration and Integration Minister Rita Verdonk is one of the most controversial figures in the Dutch Government. Along with the language tests, her most recent proposal is that everyone in the Netherlands speak Dutch when they're in public. The move has left the youth-wing of her own party the VVD literally ”˜speechless' and they've lodged a written complaint with a Dutch anti-discrimination body. They believe that it's everyone's right to speak in their mother tongue wherever they may be.
