Geert Wilders in den Niederlanden
Was geschieht in den Niederlanden, was Geert Wilders betrifft? Ist es ihm schon möglich gewesen, eine Regierung bilden zu können? In den Nachrichten hierzulande liest man darüber fast gar Nichts. Es scheint mir, wie eine Verschwörung des Schweigens zu sein. – © Mark Alexander

Geert Wilders’ Message for Muslims in Europe | Controversial Dutch PM, warns Erdogan
Dec 4, 2023 | The Far-Right Dutch Prime Minister, renowned for his Islamophobic stance and anti-Turkey sentiments, recently stirred controversy with a video message following a dramatic victory.
In the video, originally uploaded on December 4, 2015, Geert Wilders explicitly stated, "I have a message to the Turks; we do not want you in Europe. You are not European. You can never be a part of Europe." He went on to criticize Turkey, claiming it is ruled by the "dangerous Erdogan, who carries the flag of Islam," and emphatically expressed, "We don't want Islam. Therefore, Türkiye, stay away from us."
This isn't the first time Wilders has showcased discriminatory views; throughout his career, he has consistently made anti-Islamic comments, often targeting Erdogan and using anti-Turkey rhetoric as part of his domestic policy. Notably, in 2019, Wilders canceled a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest, provoking protests in Pakistan, underscoring his ongoing commitment to a divisive stance against Islam despite any opposition.

'Get Out from Here': Dutch PM Probable Geert Wilders Tells Muslims in New Viral Video
Geert Wilders speaks very tough words here. They will surely rock Europe. My guess is, though, that he is saying what many people think but wouldn't dare utter. Is Geert Wilders' victory at the polls the beginning of the end of political correctness in Europe, I wonder? – Mark
‘They Feel They Are Being Neglected’: Why Voters Turned to ‘Dutch Trump’ Geert Wilders
THE OBSERVER: In a pretty waterside town, residents applaud the veteran rightwinger’s stance on immigration, calling his success a ‘vote against the established order’

In a shopping centre in Volendam, a fishing port north of Amsterdam, on Friday, there was satisfaction about far-right politician Geert Wilders having dominated last Wednesday’s Dutch elections. “It’s a really good thing,” said Pieter, who didn’t want to give a last name. “There’s a shortage of houses, people are still coming. The borders have to shut.”
In pretty Volendam, long a Wilders stronghold, the Party for Freedom (PVV) won 18.6% of votes. The jaws of politicians, political scientists and Wilders himself dropped open when early forecasts suggested a win of 37 seats – around a quarter of parliament and his largest share ever.
This blond politician sometimes called “the Dutch Trump” and known for his inflammatory comments on Islam, a criminal record for insulting Dutch Moroccans and being refused entry to Britain, has shocked the nation. According to provisional results, the veteran MP, who lives with 24-hour security after receiving death threats, is riding a wave of concern about immigration, housing, the cost of living and mistrust in governments after a string of scandals.
In a nearby cafe, Arjen, 57, said: “It’s a vote against the established order. They have made a mess of things.”

The Netherlands is known for low corruption, press freedom and moderation, but for the past two decades another current has been present: support for far-right parties. Anti-Islam Pim Fortuyn, murdered just before elections in 2002, created an eponymous party that won 26 seats and took part in government before falling apart. The far-right Forum for Democracy did well in provincial elections and became the biggest party in the Senate in 2019 before meeting a similar fate. According to Prof Tom Louwerse of Leiden University’s Institute of Political Science, the Dutch far right has polled on average 15% to 20% for the past decade. » | Senay Boztas in Volendam | Saturday, November 25, 2023
Geert Wilders is right about the dangers of Islam to the West, but he is wrong about Nexit.
Anyone who is not fearful of the growth of Islam in the West is either a naïve fool or is not paying attention. I have been warning about the dangers of Islam for very many years; for about thirty years to be more precise. I was warning of the dangers of Islam to the West back in the 90s! I have written a book on the dangers of Islam to the West — The Dawning of a New Dark Age — and I have blogged on the dangers of the religion/way of life for more than twenty years. This blog was originally called A New Dark Age Is Dawning. So, let me be absolutely clear: Islam IS a danger to our Western way of life. So don’t be too quick to condemn Geert Wilders! He is right on this matter. He is more extreme than I am. I am not far right; my politics is moderate. But being moderate and liberal does not mean that I am unaware of the dangers of Islam to the way of life I was raised to enjoy; and to the way of life most of you people were raised to enjoy, too.
Unless one has lived in an Islamic country, it really is difficult to explain clearly what is at stake here, to draw people attention to the dangers we face.
Having contact with the Islamic world has cost me dear. I went to the Middle East, to Saudi Arabia, to make money, but I lost money there! I left there having been cheated out of even the money the system owed me. Saudi Arabia pays gazillions to sports stars sports-washing. I wish they’d pay me back the millions they owe me first! I have suffered greatly as a result of what was done to me by the system.
Islam is tightening its grip on the West. It is subtle, but it is happening. However, our politicians are letting it happen; and in so doing, they are letting us down. The Conservatives are every bit as bad as the Socialists. Show both sides a few bob, and blind eyes are turned! And this is one of the main reasons why islam is gaining ground. Muslims know that Westerners will prostitute themselves and sell off all assets to make a quick buck. Preserving their heritage means nothing to them, especially when money can be made. Muslims, however, are different. Muslims love money, of course; but the proliferation of Islam and growing the influence of their prophet must always come first. Put simply, that is one of the main reasons why the Islamic world is far stronger than the so-called Judæo-Christian West.

Der nette Herr Wilders
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Geert Wilders will jetzt die Niederlande regieren. Er zeigt sich plötzlich moderat. Aber kann er aus seiner Haut heraus?
Wenn man regieren wolle, sagte Geert Wilders Ende Oktober, müsse „man Wasser in den Wein kippen“. Der Vorsitzende der Partei für die Freiheit, kurz PVV, träumte davon, in einem rechten Kabinett „mitzuregieren“. Drei Wochen später hat er die Parlamentswahl in den Niederlanden gewonnen. Nicht einfach so, sondern haushoch. Jetzt geht es nicht mehr ums Mitmachen. Der Rechtspopulist, sechzig Jahre alt, will Ministerpräsident werden.
„Wir werden nicht über Moscheen, Korane und islamische Schulen sprechen“, kündigte er am Wahlabend an. „Wir werden über unsere Agenda der Hoffnung sprechen und über einen Asylstopp verhandeln.“ Also: Wasser in den Wein. Damit will er jetzt die Rechtsliberalen von Dilan Yeşilgöz und die neue Partei des abtrünnigen Christdemokraten Pieter Omtzigt für sich gewinnen. Gemeinsam hätten sie eine klare Mehrheit in der Abgeordnetenkammer. Doch beide Parteiführer haben Vorbehalte. Sie kennen den Kollegen lange genug, um ihm zu misstrauen. Yeşilgöz legte sich am Freitag fest: Ihre Partei werde nicht in ein Kabinett unter Wilders eintreten, sei aber bereit, eine Mitte-Rechts-Regierung zu tolerieren. » | Von Thomas Gutschker, Brüssel | Samstag, 25.

En scandant « Vous n’êtes pas seuls », un millier de personnes se sont rassemblées jeudi à Utrecht, dans l’ouest des Pays-Bas, pour protester contre la victoire surprise du candidat d’extrême droite Geert Wilders aux élections législatives néerlandaises mercredi. Une autre manifestation contre le parti d’extrême droite avait également lieu en soirée à Amsterdam.

Geert Wilders: The Dutch Far-right Figurehead Sending a Chill across Europe
GUARDIAN EUROPE: After 20 years as a political outlier, the leader of the anti-immigration Freedom party is closer to power than ever before
Known for his distinctive platinum-blond hairstyle and his aggressive anti-Islam and anti-immigration rhetoric, Geert Wilders has been catapulted by the Dutch elections to the place he loves most to be: at the centre of attention.
In a political earthquake, Wilders’ Freedom party was on course late on Wednesday to win the most votes in the country’s parliamentary elections, opening the way for the politician to play a key role in the formation of the next government after an election dominated by debate over immigration.
From describing Islam as “an ideology of a retarded culture” and calling Moroccans “scum”, Wilders, who is often compared to former US president Donald Trump for his inflammatory rhetoric and use of social media, has long been a prominent fixture in the European far-right landscape. » | Pjotr Sauer in Amsterdam | Thursday, November 23, 2023

Far-Right Leader Wilders Leads Dutch Poll on Eve of Election
BLOOMBERG: Wilders jumped in polls this week after key televised debates / Center-right, left parties are close behind in polls
Dutch far-right populist Geert Wilders jumped to first place in the latest survey ahead of elections on Wednesday, setting the stage for him to enter government.
His Freedom Party is projected to gain 28 seats in parliament, just one seat more than the two parties currently tied for second place, according to an I&O Research poll published Tuesday.
The surge comes on the heels of recent televised debates featuring Wilders, who promotes anti-Muslim views and has lived under police protection for two decades following death threats. » | Cagan Koc | Posted: Monday, November 20, 2023; updated: Tuesday, November 21, 2023
