Dutch junior Finance Minister Folkert Idsinga, who had been responsible for tax policies, resigned on Friday amid growing pressure to disclose details about his personal investments, APA reports citing Reuters.
"If the largest government party puts a knife on my throat and forces me to publish all my interests without any necessity, that's where I draw the line," Idsinga told reporters after his resignation.
Prime Minister Dick Schoof said in a statement on Friday Idsinga had followed all the right procedures and had done all that could "reasonably be asked" of a cabinet member.
