Description:
With the cooperation of Geert Wilders Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom have become an indispensable part of the political scene. For over a decade, he has been the most talked-about politician in the Netherlands. His fame now extends far beyond our national borders. It has become this crazy - a nod to Wilders' statement, it can't get much crazier - contains a lot of new facts about the politician from Venlo. Wilders himself talks extensively about his youth, his turbulent political career, the lawsuits against him, the anti-Islam film Fitna, his new film plans and his ties with neo-conservative parties in the US. The years of rumbling within the PVV ranks and the rise of populism are also discussed in detail. Author Artur Blok also spoke with various former and current members of the PVV faction and with people who worked with Geert Wilders for a long time, both in the Netherlands and in the United States. They speak out openly about him. This book provides a clear picture of the person and the politician Wilders: the man who built a one-man faction into an established party in the Dutch political system; the man who has had to be guarded day and night for many years because of his controversial statements. Geert Wilders: 'My mission is to fight for freedom and to combat Islam. As long as I feel that I can still contribute to that and I haven't managed to do so yet, I will simply continue. Unless I think it is no longer of any use' Political scientist Arthur Blok (1976) worked for Novum Nieuws and as a lecturer at the Hogeschool Utrecht. Blok now contributes to Het Parool and publishes in various English-language media. He is co-owner of The Levant News (www.the-levant.com).
