20 March 2014

A parliamentarian member of the Dutch far-right Freedom Party [PVV] has resigned in protest against a speech made by party leader Geert Wilders.

During the meeting he encouraged supporters to chant racist slogans against Moroccans.

Wilders addressed the meeting:

“So I ask you what do you want in this city more or less Moroccans?”

The crowd chants, “less. less.”

Wilders continues: “We will fix it.”

The crowd laughs.

Ronald van Vliet will keep his seat, but as an independent.

Translated from Dutch NOS TV today:

Two former employees of the PVV party in parliament demand from the party compensation of 328,000 and 221,000 euros respectively because they were not payed for years of forced overtime work. The employees were also bullied, the Algemeen Dagblad daily reports, according to court records. There will be a trial on this later this month.

The former employees have sued the PVV separately from each other. They both complain of a too heavy workload, with burnout effect. One of them calls the work culture within the PVV parliamentary party “white slavery”.

The Social Affairs Inspectorate, the former Labour Inspectorate, has reprimanded the PVV according to the AD. Checks are said to have shown that the Working Hours Act was violated. A work-related diseases doctor has declared the two ex-workers to be disabled because of “disproportionate pressure.” …

When it turned out that an employee had approached a trade union with his complaints, he reportedly got lots of abuse. The other former PVV employee says he was threatened with a charge of refusal to work if he would not work on.

It is not the first time that former PVV employees tell about the working conditions within the party. A former spokesman for Wilders, Michael Heemels, named stress as the reason for his alcohol and drug abuse.
