Geert Wilders in court soon Dutch authorities are going to prosecute far-right anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders over his controversial remarks made in March at his party rally which they said incite racial hatred. Before the municipal elections this March, Wilders, who is the leader of the Party for Freedom – PVV, asked his supporters if they wanted fewer Moroccans in the city. The question was posed at a café in The Hague and met with audience approval. “We’ll take care of that,” Wilders then said. The meeting was broadcast over the country and the words caused over 6,000 legal complaints as well as severe criticism. On Thursday the Public Prosecutor said the politician would be prosecuted on charges of insulting a group of people based on race and incitement to discrimination and hatred. Politicians may go far in their statements, thats part of freedom of expression, but this freedom is limited by the prohibition of discrimination, it said in a statement.
