Wilders does not want his speech at far right conference to cause a political problem
With his speech to the ultra-conservative CPAC Hungary conference in Budapest, PVV leader Geert Wilders said that he did not want his prepared remarks to cause a political problem in the Netherlands. The leader of the far-right party is negotiating with three more moderate right-wing parties to form a new coalition government. Talks with the VVD, NSC, and BBB have been ongoing since the November elections, and the current round is set to end within two weeks.
At the start of the speech, he said that as the leader of the largest political party in the Netherlands, he has a big responsibility and is taking it because he wants the negotiations to succeed.
After that, Wilders, as usual, criticized the “left elite” before attacking woke culture and warning his listeners of mass immigration from Africa.
Wilders claimed that left parties had opened the borders for immigrants with a “totally different cultural background” in the last decades while they were usually not asylum seekers. He also said these men usually come alone from Africa or Asia. He added that they do not contribute to the society and only cost money. Mass immigration has not been discouraged but rather encouraged, he said.
Wilders praised his “good friend,” the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who he called a courageous leader because he stands for Jewish-Christian values and protects his people from illegal immigration.
The PVV leader added that he hopes more European leaders follow his immigration policy, as many more immigrants want to come to Europe, he said.
Wilders also denounced wokism, which, in his view, is another existential threat to Europe. He claims wokism is the dominant idea in the university world and the media, that there is “no objective truth, no loyalty or freedom, and that everything is subjective. Everything for them is interchangeable and without value.”
Many media outlets that wanted to attend the congress were not welcome because they were described as “woke.”
