Party For Freedom
From RationalWiki
(Redirected from Freedom Party)
The Party For Freedom, Dutch Partij Voor de Vrijheid, PVV is a political party in the Netherlands, led by Geert Wilders. Unlike other parties in the Netherlands, it is not an association of members who have voting rights. It is a foundation with Wilders as its only member.
The party is known for its harsh anti-immigration policy, anti-Euro stance, expressions of islamophobia, and opposition to policies to reduce man-made global warming. It is a populist party and critics claim that the party is far right and racist.
In part because of the undemocratic structure and practices of the party, there have been a number of high-profile defectors. These include Louis Bontes and Hero Brinkman, both of whom were formerly MPs for the party.
