Row over Dutch Muslim ministers
By Geraldine Coughlan
BBC News, The Hague
Ahmed Aboutaleb is the new state secretary for social affairs
The appointment of two Muslim politicians to the new Dutch cabinet has reawakened a row in the country over dual nationality.
Nebahat Albayrak and Ahmed Aboutaleb are both Dutch passport holders, but also have Turkish and Moroccan passports respectively.
Right-wing opposition parties want to see an end to dual nationality.
The row has led to a call for Princess Maxima, the wife of the Crown Prince, to give up her Argentine nationality.
