Plotting Dutch Liberals despise him, but they can’t ignore his popular mandate:

THE HAGUE – Dutch anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders will have to be consulted on every decision the next government makes if a provisional agreement on forming a new cabinet reached Friday is finalised, an expert said.

Under the provisional agreement, Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) will have no cabinet members but would have a crucial “support” role, the centre-right VVD, the Christian Democratic Action (CDA) and the free-market PVV said in a joint statement.

An analyst told AFP the agreement would in fact mean Wilders having a strong voice in government decisions as he would have to be consulted on each issue.
Talks on forming a new cabinet ended late Friday with further discussions scheduled to firm up the accord from next week. Read the rest of this entry »

Wafa Sultan – Arab Muslim, author, psychiatrist and critic of Islam, gave her witness testimony in the ‘hate speech’ show-trial of Duch Freedom party leader Geert Wilders last week, ahead of the resumption of the main trial in October.

Here she speaks (in English) to the Dutch current affairs programme ‘Een Vandaag’ about the case.

We’re big fans of Wafa. Watch the video to see why.

Why Russia Today? Because the Western mainstream media don’t want you to know that he is articulate, intelligent and bang on the money about the threat of Islam to Europe and the rest of the civilised world.

“Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail”

Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.

Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.

Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’. Thank you my friends for inviting me.

I first have great news. Last Wednesday City council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities. Read the rest of this entry »

Wonderful news. The Islam-realist that the left-wing press delight in falsely and lazily labelling as ‘far right’, confounds his critics as he proves his and his party’s resonance among ordinary people in the Netherlands:

Mr Wilders’s far-Right [ahem-Ed.] Party for Freedom (PVV) made a strong showing in local polls held Wednesday, while the traditionally strong Christian Democratic (CDA) and Labour (PvdA) parties lost support, early results showed.
The PVV came first and second in the only two of 394 municipalities it contested.

It was the strongest party with 21.6 per cent of the vote in Almere, a city of 187,000 people near the capital Amsterdam previously won by the PvdA, and came second in the seat of government, The Hague – the Netherlands’ third largest city with 442,000 residents. Read the rest of this entry »
