Amsterdam Police Chief Dressed Down by Mayor

During a meeting of the Municipal Council Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen called down Police Head Commissioner Bernard Welten, because Welten had attacked the mayor in an interview. Cohen said “I told Welten not to give such an interview ever again. He understands this and it is he who has to repair the damage.” Opposition leader Eric van der Burg of the Liberal Party (VVD) reacted: “If my boss were to say such things about me, I would look for another job the next day.”
