Geert Wilders was found guilty but will not recieve the 5000 euro fine that was demanded by the DA.
Wilders will appeal this judgement.
They think he should consider himself lucky that there’s no fine. Good on him for pursuing an appeal.
His party is making some real headway in the polls, no doubt because of this persecution. Also good.

Every liberal is a totalitarian thug.
The establishment can now call him a “convicted criminal” in their campaign propaganda.
NPR all over this this morning.
God bless Geert. He’s a true warrior and a very brave man...
Eff NPR. They can suck it.

For those who missed it, here is the crime:
During a political rally Wilders asked those assembled if they “want more or fewer immigrants from Morocco”?
They all screamed “fewer”.
Wilders said vote for us because we will make that happen.
That’s it. That’s his crime.
Here is a later version on the FR. I posted this when there was no English news version yet (I live in the Netherlands so on top of this one)

It’s a sham.
