Antwoorden
Note: 600 miljoen heeft nu een waarde van ander half miljard. De republiek heeft tot de laatste cent betaald aan Ministerie van Buitenlandse zaken. Nederland echter heeft slechts 15% uitgekeerd aan de Indische Nederlanders, waar is de overige 85 % gebleven. Halbe Zijlstra heeft Kamervragen gesteld, Ab Klink heeft deze de vragen weggewuifd. De republiek heeft zich aan deze overeenkomt gehouden, Nederland niet. Die kan het mijn en dein niet onderscheiden ....... Wordt tijd dat er actie wordt ondernomen, kan toch niet zo zijn dat het "Indisch Geld" voor andere doelen zijn gebruikt. Het Indisch Platform weet er van, maar onderneemt geen actie (2013).
