Geert Wilders looks to alliance with Front National, other EU parties

Monday 29 April 2013

Anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders is looking to form an alliance with other similarly-minded parties, including France's Front National, to fight next year's European elections, the Volkskrant reports on Saturday.

Wilders, who leads the PVV in parliament, recently met Front National leader Marine Le Pen for lunch to discuss his ideas for a pan-European approach.

'We think the same about 90% of things, perhaps more,' Wilders said in the Volkskrant interview. 'We also have a lot of points of agreement in terms of immigration.'

Many meetings

Wilders said the meeting with Le Pen is the first of 'many' he plans to have with other European party leaders in an effort of forge an alliance.

'Next year we can make an enormous advance,' he told the Volkskrant. 'Parties which are against what we call the elite are growing in popularity. These are parties which support the national interest, the national identity.'

Wilders declined to say which other parties he is in talks with and would not comment on whether he would visit new German party Alternative fur Deutschland. 'Some don't want it to be public,' Wilders said. He said he did plan to hold talks with the Flemish nationalists Vlaams Belang 'but they do not know this yet'.

Revolution

A political revolution is under way 'from England to Germany, from France to the Netherlands and Italy', Wilders told the paper.

'We are going to judge people by what they are, without fear for the electoral consquences,' Wilders said. 'I have more in common with those parties abroad than with the entire [Dutch] parliament.

The PVV took four of the 25 Dutch seats in the European parliament at the last elections in 2009 with 17% of the vote. As well as wanting a freeze on non-western immigration, the party says the European parliament should be abolished and wants the Netherlands to leave the euro.

... Next year, we shall have great progress. The popularity of parties that go against so-called elite is growing. These are the parties that stand guard of the national interests and national identity, -- noted Geert Wilders.

In Great Britain Geert Wilders is likely to turn to United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), known for its euroskepticism, as well as its anti-immigrant and anti-Islamist rhetoric. After its victory on May 3 in municipal elections in England and Wales, where the party got 25% or near a million votes of the British electorate, Wilders officially congratulated UKIP writing that next year the European Union can expect a "political revolution" that will take place under the law, through elections to the European Parliament...

Geert Wilders decided to unite the European Right (Rus).

Also, he made a way better Willy Wonka than Johnny Depp

And he was a way better Leo Bloom than Matthew Broderick.

We don’t have to like every aspect of his personality. There is one thing, however, that makes him our friend: he loves his country and is dedicated to make it better. So does Marine Le Pen. So should we.

Geert is a great man. Should Westerners ever pull their heads out of their butts to reclaim their lands from traitorous elites, they can look back at Wilders as one of the loudest voices for preserving Western Civilization.

My concern is always been with the latent anti-Jewish and anti-Israel stances of parties like the French National Front. Wilders has been a supporter of Israel in the past, and this looks to be an alliance of convenience.

In Britian the comparison is stark, as you have the sensible UKIP, and the Fascist BNP. Neither should be confused with the other....

Typically, nationalists admire Israel as an overtly nationalist state and wish our countries be like that. That may, of course, clash with liberal Jews everywhere, who in turn label every nationalist as an anti-Semite.

I may not agree with him all the time. I think once multiculturalism is peeled away, he’ll find many other gruesome levels of civil dysfunction beneath that he might not be aware of right now.

That being said, I have read his book (highly recommended). He’s a patriot. He genuinely wants to preserve the Dutch way of life, history and culture.

All the best to him.

Funny - the left in Europe has more or less been united for 40 years (at least). Now some conservatives decide to unite, to oppose them, and it’s considered a hate crime...

Something we need here in the US.....but you can bet the Open Borders and Free Trade Communists would whine and pee a feces-storm if we had a similar movement.

Fox News once praised Wilders....then started attacking him when FNC Islamic Terrorist supporting part owner got nervous

The elimination of the EU would resurrect the European economy.... and force the US to dump Globalism/Free Trade to survive

Indeed, but then the nation has the tools to deal with it. Unless a nation gains back its national identity and national self-government, it cannot deal with other dysfunction, it is not even aware of it, and in fact, in absence of the functioning national body social disease grows like mold.

Two lessons for us here: (1) we won the intellectual argument; (2) carry on. The din of the frightened Internationale should become an advertising for the nationalist right.

This anatomical curiosity shows that there is nothing of substance in globalism but mold.

True.
