Demonstrators rallied, some wrapped in rainbow flags and flying Palestinian flags, in a march opposing Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV). The PVV - whose manifesto included calls for bans on mosques, the Qur’an and the wearing of Islamic headscarves in government buildings - won 37 seats in the 150-seat parliament, more than double its previous number.

#Netherlands #Holland #DutchElection #GeertWilders #Protest #News
70% of Dutch voters voted for centre-right and far right parties that all had some anti-immigration platform - it is therefore undemocratic to demand that immigration isn't restricted.
It problem bcoz its democratic
Illegal aliens aren’t “immigrants” to begin with.
They can “demand” all they like; their party lost.

@@0Bharat 😂😂😂😂is that your example to follow or even to watch?? Aye aye aye Humans have their brain twisted and wicked.
Just proves that people will only support Democracy if their team wins.
The Dutch working class, who are hurt most by immigration, casts their votes, and the bourgeois Left cries foul.
You mean only when the far-LEFT wins.
No, the left will only support democracy if their team wins.
Well their team won because of a democratic vote.
Your comment means absolutely nothing if you think about it.
Their ignorance is not different from the 17th century mob just that instead of holding torches they wear cute eyeglasses
Guardian readers in tears again - long may it continue. All the best Geert

@@Human-rights4allshush now with your thinly veiled threats. True patriots do not fear you or what you represent
"The majority of the Dutch voters" did not in fact vote for this. You should learn how elections work before making such dogmatic statements.
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 I am well aware of how the election process works in Holland, which operates a voting system of proportional representation, Geert Wilder's party received 37 percent of the electoral vote, that was the largest majority vote for a single party!
I was not making dogmatic statements as you suggested, and I am also half Dutch, I have lived and worked in Holland, so I have a lived experience of both the Dutch people and the society.
@@johnohara197actually you’re wrong. As someone who lives in Holland, who actually knows what he’s talking about, he won 37 seats out of 150. Which roughly means 2.4 million people voted for him. You’re actually talking nonsense about 37%
if you like democracy the voting box is the decider, not the group on the street
Dear oh dear... protest is an expression of democracy. I don't see any evidence of an insurrection here, and protesting against racism and/or xenophobia should be the right of any citizen within a democratic society. Do you agree?
@@desoliver9712 who are they protesting against? the people who voted for Geert?
@@desoliver9712the voting box is supreme. Do you agree?

Geert Wilders. Not 'Far Right'. Just sensible.

Being sensible is considered far-right these days.
Exactly! He is not far-right, he is just RIGHT!
@@Arturestor the far right seems sensible to you…

How can the outcome from a legal vote be unacceptable?
When it contradicts the wishes of the self-righteous bourgeois Left.
Denial.

That is the left for you. Tyrants
Democracy prevails , well done the Dutch people for voting with some backbone
Democracy……only when they win though 😂😂😂😂
Why do they always show cities? This is the problem in the Uk they always show what cities think, not the country.
After the US-backed Orange Coup in Ukraine the BBC only visited Kyev.
Not the Donbas.
As always - cherry picking ...
No need to show a country's opinion when they literally just elected that person to lead the country. Showing this is only a city or two just gives examples of people who are anti-democracy.
1: The majority of the population live in cities
2: People travel from all points - including from rural areas - to participate in rallies
3: Even right-leaning organisations such as UK's Countryside Alliance hold their demos in cities
It's a matter of logistics.

0:10 "Demonstrators in Utrecht took to the streets, some wearing rainbow flags and flying Palestinian flags."
Something tells me that the demonstrators wearing rainbow flags probably weren't Palestinian.
The oddballs of society having a night out.
Perhaps there were one or two Palestinian flags. There were dozens of rainbow flags.
Because we all know how the rainbow community would be treated in Palestine...
Imagine what would happend if there were 1 rainbow and 20 Palestinian flags
You know the saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”
Guardian having a meltdown ..Liberal tears ..the people have spoken ..they want their country back .
It’s disgraceful that they voted in Geert Wilders. He’s part Indonesian so is not fit to lead a white country and cleanse its lands. His presence defiles that country.
Go Geert Go.
A few hundred protest in a Province that Voted for the Establishment, what a Shock !!!
Hopefully Geert can form a Government and start to repeal the Migration Insanity.
Protesting against democracy, when the results don’t go your way take to the streets.
Protest is an expression of democracy.

They are not protesting the result, but protesting against what Geert Wilders stands for-do you understand the difference?

Wilders literally represents the Party for Freedom
Except Utrecht province and Amsterdam region, the entire country of Netherlands voted for Geert Wilders and the PVV.
Even though Amsterdam is under the complete control of Moroccan and Albanian gangs
Yes because Utrecht and Amsterdam are literally the only developed parts of Netherlands. Rest are rural swamps
*_"the entire country of Netherlands voted for Geert Wilders and the PVV"_*
Oh yeah, then why did he get only 37 out 150 seats? The reality is that 75% of the country did NOT vote for him!
The succeptible, easily indoctrinated and crowd conforming types that flock to cities often do this and spoil it for the broader nations
Ben geboren en getogen in Amsterdam en had ook op Geert gestemd als ik niet 21 jaar geleden naar Amerika was verhuist.

What fantastic reasoning. So if a fascistic government takes over your country... you can always leave if you don't like it. Sounds like the reasoning of a child.
Racist
That's not very Democratic
Yes we are .
'Not what we stand for'! Of course not, you already have what you stand for but have no idea of the consequences. Ordinary people of average intelligence who understand what standing on your own feet means are now taking the first polite step to survival.

I have come to the conclusion that Geert supports don’t actually know what this politician is all about. He doesn’t care about Europe or any international support he receives. He wants to leave the EU, leave Schenghen and practically isolate the country.
It must make a change for The Guardian to have a go at the Dutch. They usually reserve their disdain for the UK, England in particular.
Hahahaha congrats to the normal Dutch folks..brilliant news, finally what the people want/need.
Guardian have found a couple of people including a likely former migrant to oppose Geert 🙄 and attempt to make a 1 minute news story that no one cares about 😂
This has made international news the world over. A change in the leadership of a country has always been news worthy. What a bizarre comment.
@@desoliver9712 Geert yes, but the Guardian has attempted to find opposition to him in their short video, I agree, Geert is a newsworthy story and I support him, perhaps I didn’t write clear enough, I was criticising the Guardian
@@Rufus100 Why would it be a surprise that there would be opposition to him. In a democratic society, you are likely to find a spectrum of opposing views. And, Geert's position is a far-right position, and it is the first time he has won an election.
Given his views are on one end of the political spectrum they are likely to garner some opposition. Why is this a surprise? If a far-left group won the election, I'm sure right-wing media would be reporting on it, and I have no doubt that there would be a group of people protesting who are unhappy about it.
I'm just not sure, what your problem is?
The Guardian squirming again!!

Not you maybe, but clearly it is what the Dutch people stand for.
Also, Wilders is not a right-extremist, but he is made out to be by misinformation. Yes, he has said some very hard-right stuff, but has also backed down on all of those goals, not only for the Dutch people, but for the coalition, since he'd never get that through the government.
