The head of the Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, has urged Muslims to leave the nation if they place a higher importance on the Quran than secular laws.
Muslims who believe the Quran is more important than the law should leave the nation, according to Geert Wilders. In an unconfirmed video, the head of the Freedom Party (PVV), who is expected to become the country’s prime minister, was heard stating as much.
He said, “I have a message for all the Muslims in the Netherlands who find the laws of the Quran more important than our secular laws, who do not respect our freedom, our democracy, and our core values.”
Those are plentiful. According to research by Professor Koompans, there are seven lakh. And I’m telling them to go out! Go to a nation that practices Islam. You can then take pleasure in Islamic law. He said, “Those are their rules, not ours.”
Wilders previously said on X (formerly Twitter): “Today, tomorrow, or the day after, the PVV will be part of the government and I will be prime minister of this beautiful country.”
In order to establish a government, Wilders said he was willing to modify his positions. Even though his party won the most seats in the most recent election, it is anticipated that the PVV will only hold 25% of the seats in the Dutch parliament, which means that cooperation with other parties is required for government.
The conservative VVD Party, led by Dilan Yesilgoz, hasn’t ruled out the prospect of lending outside support to a government headed by Wilders. But they have excluded cabinet involvement. In the meanwhile, Wilders’ extremist beliefs provide difficulties for Pieter Omtzigt of the moderate NSC Party, who believes that they could go against the Dutch constitution’s guarantees of religious freedom.
Who is the likely Dutch prime minister, Geert Wilders?
- The unexpected winner of the Netherlands elections was far-right leader Geert Wilders, whose anti-EU party overtook mainstream opposition with a late surge. With 37 seats in the Dutch parliament, the anti-Islamic Party for Freedom, known as Wilders, is poised to overtake all other parties as the largest in the chamber.
- The sixty-year-old has spent decades as a mainstay in Dutch politics. He began his professional life as a member of the liberal group led by former prime minister Mark Rutte, but he later left to work as an independent legislator before founding the Freedom Party, or PVV in Dutch, which is opposed to immigration.
- Because of his anti-Islamic beliefs, he has received death threats and has been under close police protection since 2004. He was found guilty of insulting Moroccan immigrants in 2020 when he made remarks about them, but the judges did not punish him.
- In addition, Wilders supported BJP leader Nupur Sharma last year when she made comments about the Prophet Muhammad in a television discussion. Never surrender to Al-Qaeda or other Islamic terrorist groups; they stand for savagery. The entire Indian population ought to unite and lend support to #nupursharma right now. Years ago, the Taliban and Al Qaida added me to their death list. Takeaway: Don’t ever give in to terrorists. Never, he’d exclaimed.
Coalition negotiations in the Netherlands
In the Netherlands, coalition talks frequently last for several months and involve parties that take differing stances on collaboration. According to Reuters, more centrist coalitions that do not include the PVV may arise if Wilders is unable to establish a government. New elections would then be the last option.
