Geert Wilders has consistently been the most outspoken political figure in Europe when it comes to Islam. His position has been consistent: Islam is not compatible with Western democracy; very few Muslims can integrate successfully into Western societies; tens of millions of Muslim immigrants now cost Western governments hundreds of billions of dollars annually for such benefits as free or highly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education, unemployment benefits (even without an employment record), family allowances, and more; the large-scale presence of Muslims helps spread antisemitism; Muslim migrants are many times more likely than non-Muslims to commit crimes; Muslims create No-Go areas in cities where non-Muslims fear to tread, and even the police and firemen are reluctant to enter No-Go areas except in large numbers.

Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders was on the verge of sealing a deal – possibly as soon as Wednesday – to form the most right-wing government in the Netherlands in decades, almost six months after a major election victory.
Wilders, who has influenced Dutch immigration policy from the opposition benches since 2006 and is known for his outspoken views on Islam, was expected to announce a four-party coalition later in the day.
That day came — Thursday, May 16 — and the coalition government was finally formed.
Talks have dragged on for months since Wilders’ upset election victory on November 22, with immigration, finances and climate among the key sticking points.
A breakthrough was reached in March as Wilders, 60, toned down anti-EU and anti-Islam rhetoric, forfeited the position of prime minister, and dropped opposition to all military support for Ukraine.
“I can’t see this fail,” Wilders told reporters shortly after midnight, following 16 hours of talks during which parties said they had found agreement on government finances.
He told journalists as he walked into meetings on Wednesday morning: “If everything goes according to plan today, it will be a great outcome.”
A Labor Party veteran who led some of the coalition negotiations, Ronald Plasterk, was named by Dutch media as a likely candidate to head a new government, but that has not been confirmed officially….
Some believe that a technocrat, not a politician like Plasterk, will be chosen as the next Prime Minister.
No details of the government pact have been announced, but the incoming government is widely expected to impose stricter asylum migration policies.
At the heart of Wilders’ political agenda is the need to halt Muslim migration and where possible, to decrease the presence of Muslims already in the Netherlands. He proposes to deport all Muslims in the country illegally, to deport those who have been imprisoned for crimes at the end of their sentences, to cut down on the generous benefits the Dutch government provides so as to make the country less attractive to Muslim economic migrants. While Wilders is often described as “far right” in the media, he is in fact a defender of the welfare state, who wants to preserve it, and even to enlarge payments to the Dutch elderly for healthcare expenses, by ending the colossal expenditures for the support of Muslim migrants.
It is still unclear who will become prime minister; Wilders has taken himself out of the running. The coalition has now published what it calls its “Hope, Courage and Pride” agreement. It introduces strict measures on asylum seekers, ends family reunification for refugees, and seeks to reduce the number of international students studying in the country. People without a valid residence permit will be promptly deported, even forcibly.
The coalition partners are now negotiating over who will be the prime minister in the new government, but it is Geert Wilders who will be the political kingpin in the new government. Expect him to act quickly on closing down Muslim immigration to the country, limiting asylum claims, ending family reunification, deporting those without residence permits, expelling Muslims convicted of crimes back to their countries of origin. The Dutch people, having been mugged by reality — that is, their experience with Muslim migrants — have finally turned to Wilders. In the Netherlands, things are looking up.

EUROPE ISLAMIZATION : with Geert Wilders, this is not the end; it is not even the beginning of the end; but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

The wussy dutch finally came to their senses but i think it is 30 years late.
It seems like Geert Wilders is the only politician left who has its head screwed on right for the last 30 or so years. I sure hope he can make the difference but he is in increasing danger of being assassinated by the human rats they call muslims.

But, will Mynheer Wilders permit Europeans who believe that biological sex matters in deciding who’s male and who’s female, oppose abortion, and hold that marriage is between a man and a woman be allowed to speak their minds openly? When I see people punished for belief in traditional marriage and that X and Y don’t lie, I fear that the West id lost.
One reason why Islam is on the march–even though it produces nothing but slums surrounded by desert (save where the monsoons blow)–is because we in the West have been destroying ourselves.

I’ve nothing but the greatest admiration for Geert Wilders, it was his film Fitna that first opened my eyes to the evils of islam.
Rick Smith says
This good news ofc for the Netherlands…would’ve been better if Wilders became PM…but maybe he will in the next election…so long as the cowardly traitorous scumbags around him aren’t able to thwart his plans to give Muslims the pounding they so rightfully deserve.
If only other western nations could have their own anti-Islam parties and get rid of these invaders…but my hope is that if they see what Wilders does, they’ll realize others can do the same and copycat him.
I look forward to hearing about the progress in dealing with these major issues in the coming months and years in the Netherlands…I hope we see similar things in Denmark, Sweden, UK, France and the rest of Europe.

No, I actually think that Netherlands is better off if Wilders, rather than being prime minister, is an external power broker: he can threaten to pull the rug off from under any prime minister who refuses to take the jihad & Islamization threats seriously. All leaders like to occupy that seat of power, which includes those fat paychecks. If someone like Plasterk or anyone else has to choose b/w his paycheck & deporting a bunch of muslims, even if it resulted in a duel w/ the EU, what do you think he will choose?
This is one of the best scenarios to happen for the Netherlands
Rick Smith says
Hope you’re right..either way it’s a good development.
