The Zorrequita affair |
|
After it became clear that the Dutch heir of the throne prince Willem Alexander was engaged to the Argentinian blonde Maxima Zorreguieta, it also came out that her father had been an important Minister during the dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla regime. Maarten Mourik a former Dutch ambassador of UNESCO explains why he started a court case against the royal family to prevent Prince Willem Alexander to marry a woman with a dubious past. The Dutch Royal family already has such a bad reputation marrying the wrong partners and the link with the former dictatorial regime of Videla would be indigestible.
