The mayor of a Dutch city called for Maria Putin, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s adult daughter, to be deported from the Netherlands as the nation observed a Day of Mourning on Wednesday in respect for those who lost their lives on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down over Ukraine.
Pieter Broertjes, mayor of the city of Hilversum, made the comments on a radio show and later apologized via Twitter, saying the remarks were “not wise” and "they stemmed from a
feeling of helplessness that many will recognize," The Guardian reported.
