Dutch Election Winner Geert Wilders Is Anti-Islam firebrand Known as The Dutch Donald Trump<\/h2>\n

November 23, 2023<\/p>\n

THE HAGUE, Netherlands \u2014\u00a0<\/span>He’s been called the Dutch Donald Trump. He’s been threatened with death countless times by Islamic extremists, convicted of insulting Moroccans, and Britain once banned him from entering the country.<\/p>\n

Now Geert Wilders has won a massive victory in a Dutch election and is in pole position to form the next governing coalition and possibly become the Netherlands’ next prime minister.<\/p>\n

An exit poll revealing his landslide appeared to take even 60-year-old political veteran Wilders by surprise.<\/p>\n

In his first reaction, posted in a video on X, formerly Twitter, he spread his arms wide, put his face in his hands and said simply \u201c35!\u201d \u2014 the number of seats an exit poll forecast his Party for Freedom, or PVV, won in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.<\/p>\n

Wilders, with his fiery tongue has long been one of the Netherlands\u2019 best-known lawmakers at home and abroad. His populist policies and shock of peroxide blond hair have drawn comparisons with Trump.<\/p>\n

But, unlike Trump, he seemed destined to spend his life in political opposition.<\/p>\n

The only time Wilders came close to governing was when he supported the first coalition formed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte in 2010. But Wilders did not formally join the minority administration and brought it down after just 18 months in office in a dispute over austerity measures. Since then, mainstream parties have shunned him.<\/p>\n

They no longer can.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PVV wants to, from a fantastic position with 35 seats that can totally no longer be ignored by any party, cooperate with other parties,\u201d he told cheering supporters at his election celebration in a small bar in a working class suburb of The Hague.<\/p>\n

Whether he can piece together a stable coalition with former political foes remains to be seen. …<\/p>\n

To court mainstream voters this time around, Wilders toned down the anti-Islam rhetoric and sought to focus less on what he calls the \u201cde-Islamization\u201d of the Netherlands and more on tackling hot-button issues such as housing shortages, a cost-of-living crisis and access to good health care.<\/p>\n

His campaign platform nonetheless calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, an \u201casylum stop\u201d and \u201cno Islamic schools, Qurans and mosques,\u201d although he pledged Wednesday night not to breach Dutch laws or the country’s constitution that enshrines freedom of religion and expression. https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/a\/dutch-election-winner-geert-wilders-is-anti-islam-firebrand-known-as-the-dutch-donald-trump\/7367075.html<\/a><\/p>\n

In results that held most of Europe and official Washington spellbound Wednesday, the Netherlands gave the populist Party for Freedom (PVV) the most seats in parliamentary elections and thus put the nation’s most controversial politician in position to become prime minister.<\/p>\n

Geert Wilders, Freedom Party chairman known for his opposition to the European Union, immigration, and aid to Ukraine, is expected to try to form the new government in a few weeks. …<\/p>\n

“I expect that Geert Wilders, as the first place finisher, will be asked to form a government that a majority of the 150 members of parliament will support,” said Pete Hoekstra, former U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands, who has known Wilders since the early 1990s. …<\/p>\n

“Clearly, the migration issue was decisive in the results of the election,” Henk Jan van Schothorst, a member of the smaller Reformed Political Party (a Christian conservative party that won three seats in parliament), told Newsmax. “We had more than 1 million immigrants \u2014 most of them illegal \u2014 in the last 10 years and more than 200,000 this year. We cannot handle this, and it is a big reason we have a housing crisis with 390,000 households that don’t have a home in the Netherlands.”<\/p>\n

The Rutte government, van Schothorst added, “always promised to do something about this but never did. And it finally became unendurable.”<\/p>\n

Wilders hit this hard and promised “zero immigration” into the Netherlands by closing the borders and deporting illegal immigrants. https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/john-gizzi\/netherlands-wilders-trump\/2023\/11\/22\/id\/1143357\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Long time readers of this COGwriter Church of God News page may recall that I have been reporting about Geert Wilders for over 14 years (e.g. Muslims: European Wake-Up Call<\/a>).<\/p>\n

More and more in Europe want to stop, and even reverse, Islamic migration.<\/p>\n

Lawlessness In France Is Off-The-Charts As Govt Continues To Bury Its Head In The Sand On Immigration, says Marine Le Pen<\/h2>\n

November 23, 2023<\/p>\n

Lawlessness in France fuelled by mass immigration has spread from the inner-city suburbs to the French countryside as the government continues to ignore the reality staring it in the face,<\/strong> Marine Le Pen has claimed. …<\/p>\n

When pressed on the extent to which she believes the deterioration of French society is irreconcilable, Le Pen remained optimistic that France could be saved, but insisted that the country must be run by politicians who recognize the problem in order to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not there. What only affected the difficult neighborhoods of large cities in the 1980s spread to medium-sized towns, then to small towns. Now, this wave is reaching our villages. But I assure you: It is still too early for pessimism. Nothing has really been attempted by successive powers to stem the phenomenon,\u201d she explained.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The conservative politician compared politicians to doctors who, if they refuse to see the symptoms and diagnose the problem, can never find the solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cLevels have been passed by delinquents and criminals thanks to the blindness, laxity, and lack of courage of those in power. If you don\u2019t stop the criminals, they won\u2019t stop,\u201d she warned.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

French citizens either growing up or living in the countryside used to feel protected from the reports coming from crime-ridden inner-city suburbs but \u201cnow realize that this is no longer true,\u201d Le Pen claimed. \u201cThey sometimes feel like game.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marine Le Pen, like Geert Wilders, has been an advocate of restricting Islamic migration. She, too, has political backing, and may one day lead France.<\/p>\n

Many European countries, and not just in France and the Netherlands, are having concerns. Notice the following:<\/p>\n
