Dutch Labour Party backtracks on religious insults law

Only a few days after the PvdA, the Dutch Labour Party, voiced support for a parliamentary motion to rid the law of articles prohibiting religious insults, its leader Wouter Bos now seems to backtrack on that decision. Bos has withdrawn initial support to this motion by the centrist D66 party. Since the motion won't be voted on until Tuesday, I guess there'll be a long weekend ahead full of bickering in the newspapers. Without PvdA support, the motion probably will not get a majority of the votes in the Second Chamber (the Dutch Lower House).
