The leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) Geert Wilders, who has earned fame as a persistent critic of Islamisation in Europe, was convicted for inciting discrimination due to his promise at a campaign rally to work on curbing migration from Morocco. The lawmaker insists that his prosecution is politically motivated.
Dutch right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders’ lawyers are demanding the suspension of his appeal proceedings for an inquiry into whether the case against him for demanding “fewer Moroccans” was “politically motivated”. The hearings on the complaint against the 2016 court decision that found Wilders guilty of inciting discrimination against Moroccans have begun today in the Hague Appeals Court.
Collectief geheugenverlies getuigen. Minister en topambtenaren spreken elkaar tegen of weten er zogenaamd niks meer van. Met geen pen te beschrijven.
