Nijmegen council to report Wilders

The municipality of Nijmegen, including the mayor and aldermen, are going to report Wilders for discrimination. All members of the council are going to the police station on Tuesday at the Stieltjesstraat in Nijmegen. The governing members will leave from the Stationsplein at 11:30 a.m, and are encouraging anyone to join in. The discrimination report will be filed in response to the comments Wilders made on Wednesday evening last week, in which he incited a crowd of PVV-supporters to chant "fewer.fewer.fewer." to Wilders' question whether they want more or fewer Moroccans in the city. To this, Wilders replied that it would be arranged. Mayor Bruls of Nijmegen said: "We have been frustrated for years by his terribly un-nuanced separation of people. We think that a line has now been crossed. It is unique that a council files a report. It is also a unique set of comments from Geert Wilders, to which I can only yell bah, bah, bah."
