not

the response has been a mixture of equanimity and stunned silence. In Sweden, by comparison, thousands of people took to the streets when the first far-right MPs were elected that same month.
Wilders (PVV) has agreed to lend his support in parliament to a minority government of conservative Liberals (PVV) and the smaller Christian Democrats (CDA) + in return: freedom to pursue many of his favorite policy projects, including anti-immigrant measures and several openly anti-Muslim initiatives, including a burqa ban and closer monitoring of Islamic schools.
Even though PVV will not take ministerial responsibility, the coalition does depend on his support for its survival and has signed a formal agreement to that extent.
Denmark has had a similar construction in place since 2001, but its right-wing People’s Party is almost moderate compared with Wilders’ Party for Freedom.
The party’s platform calls Islam “mostly a political ideology” and wishes to deny it any of the considerations afforded a religion in the Netherlands.
Wilders: Prophet Mohammed is a “barbarian and a pedophile.”
“They are trying to hide his role, but it is clear that he is part of this government, whether he has a seat in it or not,” says Mariko Peters (GreenLeft).
Wilders sometimes makes the likes of Fox News host Glenn Beck, anti-Muslim blogger Pamela Geller, and even the most extreme fringes of the Tea Party crowd look like moderates.
Several Dutch media outlets have delved into ideological and financial ties between Wilders and American archconservatives such as David Horowitz, Daniel Pipes, and Jim DeMint.
Just as opponents of the Park51 project have accused its imam, Faisal Abdul Rauf, of radicalism, Wilders has tried to link the people behind a mosque that he opposes, Rotterdam’s Essalam mosque, to Islamic extremism. He suggested in parliamentary questions this January that the main donor for the mosque’s construction, Dubai’s Crown Prince Hamdan bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, could have ties to Afghanistan’s Taliban.
He has called for a “head rag tax” on women wearing headscarves. He favors banning the Quran, wants to close Muslim schools but not equivalent Christian or Jewish ones, wants to force immigrants to sign “assimilation contracts,” and wants to include the “Judeo-Christian character” of the state in the constitution.
Pijpers says that Wilders has more in common with the Tea Party activists in the United States than with any old-style European right-wing party, because he can’t really be classified as either right-wing or left-wing.
His party has also embraced a left-wing populist defense of the Netherlands’ besieged welfare system, and he scores points with his tough stance against crime, which he often links to immigrants.
His outspokenness has made him a hated figure for some Muslims, and he lives under constant police protection. Recently, an Australian imam called for his beheading, the last in a long line of threats. Wilders himself argued in July on the website muslimsdebate.com that he does not hate Muslims — he just opposes Islam and wants Muslims to liberate themselves from its shackles. Strikingly, he seems to have formed his low opinion of Arab and Muslim societies at a young age when he visited both Israel and Egypt and contracted a stomach bug in the latter.
In July, Wilders announced that he was setting up a Geert Wilders International Freedom Alliance aimed at stopping Muslim immigration to the West. He designated the United States as one of five countries that were “ripe” for his alliance, and he may have had this confirmed at the 9/11 rally in New York. Says Golyardi, “He sees that there are people who agree with him all over the world, and he wants to provide an umbrella for them, to found an anti-Islam international.”
Earlier, Wilders had even appealed to mainstream opinion in the United States and Europe by opposing the planned burning of the Quran in Florida, even though he has compared the Quran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
assertions by some Dutch politicians and analysts that once Wilders has been co-opted into the system, as he now is, his sharp edges will be blunted.
The mildness detected in his New York speech was at the time taken as a green light for the other parties to proceed with the talks and eventually reach an agreement with him.

V krajine sa squatterská tradícia rozšírila v 80. rokoch počas vypuknutia akútnej krízy na realitnom trhu.

v 6/10 boli lokalne (alebo to su general?) volby
The left-liberal D66, right-liberal VVD (Mark Rutte 8 eb* 67 aq), and right-wing parties PVV (Geert Wilders 13 cib 63 vi) and [nationalist] TON (Rita Verdonk) all did well.
In the two communities where the PVV participated it scored well becoming the largest party in Almere and the second largest in The Hague. It was the first local election the PVV has ever contested.
christian democratic CDA faired poorly
social democratic PvdA did extremely bad
The socialist SP also suffered losses.

v 6/10 dostal vo vseob volbach VVD o kreslo viac ako PvdA. krestania prepadli, PVV ziskala vela.

VVD:
Issues rather than charisma. VVD even made the deliberate decision of running a campaign that didn’t show Rutte’s face.
To draw attention away from its uncharismatic leader, the VVD focused on issues such as safety, roads, taxes for hard working citizens, and grappling with the soaring budget deficit.
Rutte, after being a human resources manager at Unilever and a deputy minister, first of social affairs and later of education, he ran for leadership of the VVD in 2006. He narrowly and unexpectedly defeated his adversary, Rita Verdonk, the popular but controversial minister of immigration.

PVV, report polit.teoretikov v 2010:
“new radical right” () – not an extreme right-wing party, but contained some radical right-wing elements. party’s pro-Israel stance shows that it is not neo-Nazi. It tends however towards a national democratic ideology. povodne tam mali verziu ze je “extreme right-wing grouping and a threat to social cohesion and democracy”.

* Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), a centre-right Christian Democratic party. It holds to the principle that government activity should supplement but not supplant communal action by citizens. The CDA puts its philosophy between the “individualism” of the VVD and the “statism” of the PvdA.
* The Labour Party (PvdA), a social democratic, centre-left Labour party. Its programme is based on greater social, political, and economic equality for all citizens.
* The Party for Freedom (PVV), an anti-Islam nationalist-conservative party founded and dominated by Geert Wilders, formerly of the VVD. Its philosophy is based on free market economics and opposition to immigration and European integration.
* The Socialist Party (SP), in its first years a radical socialist/communist party, a Maoist split from the Communist Party Netherlands, is now a more mainstream socialist party, left from the PvdA on economic issues but at the same time taking more conservative positions on issues like integration and national identity than the PvdA.
* The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), a conservative liberal party. It attaches great importance to private enterprise and the freedom of the individual in political, social, and economic affairs.
* Democrats 66 (D66), a social-liberal radical party. The party supports liberal policies on abortion and euthanasia and reform of the welfare state. The party is left-wing on immigration, environment and foreign policy.
* Green Left (GroenLinks) combines, as its name implies green environmentalist ideals with left-wing ideals. The party is also strongly in favour of the multicultural society.
* Christian Union (ChristenUnie), a Christian-democratic party made up by mostly orthodox Protestant Christians, with conservative stances on abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage. In other areas the party is considered centre-left, for instance on immigration, welfare state and environment.
* The Party for the Animals is a single-issue animal rights party with natural affinity for environmental issues. In general, the party is considered left of the centre.
* The Political Reformed Party (SGP), the most orthodox Protestant party with conservative policies: government is only to serve God. It is a testimonial party. Only in 2006 and after heavy political pressure were women allowed to be members of this party.
* Proud of the Netherlands (Trots op Nederland), the political movement associated with independent parliamentarian and former government

minister of the VVD, Rita Verdonk. It takes a patriotic, populist stand on most political issues.

The first Muslims who settled in the Netherlands were Indonesians who fled from its bloody war of Independence @ 19th c.
imigr vlna @ 60s-1973 – NL oficialne nabera pracovnu silu – najma MOR a TR, ti potom do krajiny prinasaju rodiny via family reunification laws.
A number of Surinamese Muslims came to the Netherlands before and after the independence of Suriname in 1975.
In 80s and especially since 90s, Muslims have also come to the Netherlands as refugees and asylum seekers, mainly from Bosnia, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan
Dnes immigr najma via marriage migration & family reunification laws.
In 2005?3 NL passed immigration laws which force future immigrants and their prospective Dutch partners to abide by very strict requirements. Immigrants must pass tests showing knowledge of Dutch in their home countries. The Dutch partner must be at least 21 years old and prove income of at least 120% minimum wage. These strict laws have caused many Dutch interested in marrying people from other countries to move to Belgium for a temporary period, in what has been called “The Belgian Route”. => od 03 silne klesol priliv TR a MOR.
about 400 mosques in the Netherlands, with about 200 Turkish mosques, 140 Moroccan mosques and 50 Surinamese.

Redouan al-Issar, also known as “The Syrian” is the suspected spiritual leader of the group.
Most media attention is attracted by Mohammed Bouyeri, sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering van Gogh (2004) and by Samir Azzouz, suspected of planning terrorist attacks on the Dutch parliament and several strategic targets such as the national airport and a nuclear reactor.
Group is also suspected of planning to kill several members of government and parliament.
Bouyeri 78, al-Issar 55?65, ostatni 20-somethings

In 2006 Minister of Justice Piet Hein Donner (christ dem) provoked an outcry when he suggested the Netherlands might accept Sharia law in a constitutional manner. “It is a sure certainty for me: if two thirds of all Netherlanders tomorrow would want to introduce Sharia, then this possibility must exist. Could you block this legally? It would also be a scandal to say ‘this isn’t allowed! The majority counts. That is the essence of democracy.” The statements were categorically refused by parties across the political spectrum, as well as by one Muslim leader.

sumar:

rotterdam is quite industrial, all centre was bombed by
nazis (to make NL surrender, which they did afterwards).
more than half the city are immigrants (from surinam,
turkey, morocco, antiles), 1/4 of city is muslim,
including the mayor who is moroccan and practising believer.
people are nonstop fluctuating, 80% flats in the centre
are rented.

politically, people are divided between social democrats
and right-wing fortuyn’s populists, half-half. although
socdemocrats won the elections only by 600 votes earlier
this year, and mayor had to order to recount the results
two times. and fortuynes are growing.

food quite horrible. everything is fried (like chinese noodles
with carrot in the small fried squares), i guess ice cream too.
fast food, and sweet pee as a drink.

consists of seven neighbourhoods, the pre-war areas Oud-Charlois, Tarwewijk, Heijplaat and Carnisse, and the post-war neighborhoods Pendrecht, Zuidwijk and Wielewaal.
Wielewaal is unique in Rdam, built for the people who lost their homes due to the German bombardment of the city centre in 1940. Built as a temporary housing project, like several others housing projects such as the Brabantsedorp, it is the last one remaining. Local community prevented the demolition. It holds about 366 houses, one level, with gardens in front and back. Nowadays it resambles a holiday resort, with asfalt roads, no road signs, lots of green spaces inbetween, sport facilities and all quiet. [cosi ako zlin? :) ]
