Is the Far-right Headed for Victory in the Netherlands? Inside Story


The Netherlands has long been known as a country of socially liberal values.


Why should the rise in the so-called far-right in The Netherlands be an enigma? The Dutch were very liberal when there was no threat to their liberal way of life. Now that there is, the Dutch have become more 'conservative.' As Islam has grown in strength in The Netherlands, and as Islam is very regressive and illiberal, this has been the motivating factor for the rise in the far-right in the country. This should not be a surprise to anyone. – Mark

Dutch Elections: The Geert Wilders Effect Explained


Geert Wilders, the populist leader of the Freedom party (PVV), has benefited from a fragmentation in Dutch politics. But despite topping several polls, his party is likely to attract less than 20% of the vote and he has no real hope of winning power in a post-election coalition in the Netherlands.

Wilders will Islam aus Niederlanden „vertreiben“


FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Den Koran vergleicht er mit Hitlers „Mein Kampf“, Moscheen mit „Nazi-Tempeln“: Mit verstörenden Aussagen deckt der niederländische Rechtspopulist Geert Wilders auf, wie er im Falle eines Wahlsieges mit dem Islam umzugehen gedenkt.

Der niederländische Rechtspopulist Geert Wilders will sich nach einem Wahlsieg seiner Partei im März für ein weitgehendes Verbot des Islam in seinem Land stark machen. „Die islamische Ideologie ist womöglich noch gefährlicher als der Nationalsozialismus“, sagte der Politiker im niederländischen Fernsehen am Sonntag in Den Haag. Er forderte abermals ein Verbot des Korans und die Schließung der Moscheen. » | Quelle: dpa | Sontag, 12. Februar 2017

John Sweeney Meets Geert Wilders - BBC Newsnight


Populist parties are growing in strength across Europe - emboldened by both Brexit and Trump. There's Marine Le Pen and the National Front in France of course.

He wants to take them out of the EU, and to 'de-islamise the Netherlands' with a ban on immigration from Muslim countries. In 2016 he was convicted of inciting discrimination. The Dutch coalition system means it's unlikely Wilders will be crowned Prime Minister. But he could end up leading the largest party which would chill European centrists and boost other populist movements throughout the continent. We sent John Sweeney in pursuit.

Sharing the Motherland: Amsterdam as Modern Babylon | RT Documentary


Amsterdam could compete with New York for the title of modern Babylon. More than 200 ethnic groups live here. The whole of post-war Netherlands has been working hard to build the image of Europe’s most tolerant country – but what has been the result? Regions of the country are populated completely by people not of Dutch origin. Some of them want to accept the Dutch culture, language, and way of life; others are keeping their own traditions and languages. But despite their differences, all these people want to live in Holland.
