The Tweede Kamer will shortly hold another debate about a Mozambique vacation home of the crown prince, Willem-Alexander. The reason is the article last week in the NRC Handelsblad about the foundation that was set up especially to look after the prince's interests in the property development. According to the report, the president of the board of this foundation (called Administratiekantoor Machangulo) is apparently himself also an investor in the project.

The debate has been called by Alexander Pechtold (leader of the D66 party). The date for the debate has not been set. Before the debate the prime minster (Jan Peter Balkenende) will have to release to parliament written responses to all the questions asked by parliament. (The prime minister speaks for the royals in parliament.) Last weekend Pechtold openly called for the prince to stop construction on the vacation home on the island of Machangulo.

According to sources close to the royal family, the queen was against the project from the beginning.
