Geert Wilders at CPAC

NOS Newsyesterday, 3:31 PM

PVV leader Wilders expects that European parties similar to the PVV will achieve the same victory as his own party in the recent House of Representatives elections. Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Hungary, he said voters have had enough of “the politics of open borders and mass immigration”.

Wilders’ speech was awaited with interest by many people. Would Wilders go too far with his texts for his political partners in the cabinet formation or not?

Wilders put an end to all doubts right at the beginning of his story:

Wilders (PVV) at right-wing conservative conference in Hungary: ‘I will not endanger the negotiations’

“I am addressing the Dutch journalists,” he said. “They think that I will endanger the negotiations with statements. But I will not do that. Being a major party brings great responsibility.” He said he hopes that the negotiations with VVD, NSC and BBB will succeed.

In the remainder of his speech, he warned about future immigration from African countries, wokism and cultural relativism. Influences that he believes are a danger to the “Judeo-Christian” cultures and societies of European countries. He advised the politicians in the room to also choose this agenda and say “stop” to it. “Then voters will automatically find the conservative parties.”

Trump and Orbán

CPAC is a gathering of ultra-conservative politicians from around the world, modeled on CPAC in the United States. Former President Trump addressed his political friends in Hungary via a video message. Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán hosted the event.

The conference received a lot of media attention in advance. Certain journalists were refused because, according to the organization, they were “too woke”. The NOS was also not welcome inside. The speeches at the conference could be followed via a livestream.

Other speakers were more fierce than Wilders and spoke of a fight against “immigration and globalists from Washington and Brussels”. The controversial population theory was also discussed. According to that never proven allegation, the arrival of non-Western migrants is a deliberate plan by the government, with the aim of replacing the original Western population.
