Forum For Democracy leader Thierry Baudet asked whether The Netherlands would receive their €100bn surplus back from the ECB should they opt to leave the Euro.

Mario Draghi, the President of the ECB insisted that they would not receive the money back before the pair rowed during a meeting in the Dutch parliament.

Mr Baudet began by raising a document which referred to comments made by the ECB boss claiming that if Italy were to leave the Eurozone they would have to pay back the difference in what they owe.

He said: “As we, the Netherlands, now have a surplus of about €100bn, does this by your own words mean that if the Netherlands decides to leave the Eurozone, which is one of the key points of my party’s programme, we would get back €100m from the southern countries in the Eurozone according to your views?”
