A majority in the lower house of the Dutch parliament wants the Netherlands to follow the United States’ lead and designate the far-left Antifa movement as a terrorist organization. A motion to that effect by Lidewij de Vos (FvD), Caroline van der Plas (BBB), and Geert Wilders (PVV) was passed with the support of the VVD, SGP, and JA21.
American president Donald Trump designated the anti-fascist Antifa movement a terrorist organization on Thursday. He cited the recent murder of radical right-wing opinion leader Charlie Kirk as a direct cause, although the U.S. authorities have not yet linked the attack to any political groups.
The motion’s sponsors argue “that Aintifa cells are also active in our country, threatening politicians, disrupting meetings, intimidating students and journalists, and not shying away from using violence.” According to the anti-terrorism agency NCTV, “organized left-wing extremism in the Netherlands is fragmented, small in number, and diverse in ideology.”
The title is misleading. It’s not “Dutch parliament wants”, it’s “3/150 Dutch MPs want”
western governments are a joke , always have been
This might be even worse than the US one since the Dutch were Nazis in WW2.
Of course they do. Liberals will always attack the left over fascists, because liberalism and fascism are interrelated ideologies centering capitalism, and any anti-fascism must also be anti-liberal as the root cause for both is capitalism.
