"Madam President, Dutch electoral law unfortunately allows the existence of political parties which do not have any members. This means that the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) consists of man, Geert Wilders. Wilders the PVV. In French and English-speaking regions, they immediately and very transparently saw through this. It is, therefore, true what they say: P, double V equals PW equals the Wilders Party. The great leader Wilders saw the light one day and uttered these impressive words: things are not going well in the Netherlands, they have to change! Putting his money where his mouth was, he became the only member of the new party ‘P double V’, the Wilders Party. The Wilders Party has only member and it also has only policy: things have to change. Therefore, roughly every three months, Mr Wilders starts taking direct pot shots at some random target: the Moroccans, the Turks, the Greeks, Queen Beatrix, ritual slaughter, the euro. Hmm, who has not had a thrashing yet from the great leader Wilders? Today, it is the Poles and Eastern Europeans. Tomorrow, it will be you or me! That is what this whole thing amounts to, Madam President – nothing more and nothing less. The great leader Wilders thinks that things have to change and, time and again, he throws a tantrum to vent his frustrations. I believe we are showing too much respect to the P double V party by devoting a debate to it in this House. Certainly, when we recall that a debate here costs tens of thousands of euro per hour, we could have put that money to better use. I quote, with consent, the P double V donor Mr Hartong: ‘This is a joke’. Madam President, today’s debate would not have been necessary if Prime Minister Rutte had immediately and unhesitatingly distanced himself from that website. He ought to have condemned the website straight away, because it encourages the intimidation and stigmatisation of a large group of people. Such a condemnation was all the more necessary because Mr Rutte depends on the support of the Wilders Party as a reluctantly tolerated junior partner in his government. In addition, the Prime Minister ought to have, in the same breath, praised the daily contributions of many Poles and Eastern Europeans to the Dutch economy. And I say that on behalf of my group in general but, in particular, on behalf of the Polish, Czech, Latvian, Lithuanian and Hungarian members of my group. If Prime Minister Rutte had immediately expressed that condemnation, then we would have been able to have made more constructive use of our precious time here today."@en1
