How can you talk about Freedom of speech after what Erdogan has done? He transformed Turkey into an autocracy due to a false flag perpetrated by him and his circle?

Are you comparing Erdogan's purging attitude with Netherland's exercise of law within their constitution? 

And your ministers did act like criminals by forcefully entering the country. 

Thats not a reason for Netherlands to ban freedom of speech whenever they see fit, freedom of speech is to allow opposing views. It is there exactly to safeguard speeches of people like Erdogan.There is no ifs and buts, else you can't claim to be a democracy with freedom of speech. If those Euro states can't stand what certain people have to say then they don't have freedom of speech, period.

Also LOL at that last line, it's not in Western European culture to be hospitable, they have a cold mentality, in the Middle East we welcome friends, no matter how unexpected they may come.

Freedom of speech is for the Dutch, not for foreign visitors that demands it. It CAN be granted, but by the Dutch to willingly do it and not be coerced by external forces. 

Freedom of speech grants nations and people the right to say NO as well. It's freedom of speech, not republic of banana. 

Nice deflection there on the last sentence. Dutch authorities deemed that their soil is not a place for foreigners' political campaign but Turkey (you) want to force your will anyway because... c'mon man.
