A majority in the lower house of the Dutch parliament wants the Netherlands to follow the United States’ lead and designate the far-left Antifa movement as a terrorist organization. A motion to that effect by Lidewij de Vos (FvD), Caroline van der Plas (BBB), and Geert Wilders (PVV) was passed with the support of the VVD, SGP, and JA21.

    What is nltimes.nl and who is behind it?

    The website publishes exclusively sensationalist headlines mostly with content that offers not much more than the headline itself. When you try to access the site, they ask for your age. What kind of ads do they run there?

    As far as I could figure out, the outlet appears to be a partnership so there are little reporting requirements, but there are only a couple of employees. This seems to be another clickbait media.

    Well, that’s incredibly stupid.

    I didn’t expect this from the Dutch of all people.

      The populist right has won in the previous election and probably will in the next one. This probably won’t be the last.

    So wouldn’t that include the historical European ones?

    Next up, the people that hid Anne Frank were criminals, and the ones who snitched were good Samaritans helping the law.

    An organization is organized. A movement that’s not organized can be labelled a terrorist movement at best, but what does this label even mean. Completely bonkers…

    Pains me to see the NL following the stupidity of the US, if this info is correct.

      As it is not really a organization they can now call any leftist group antifa and ban it.

      Unfortunately the info is correct. link to the motie

      The question is how it will be implemented, as it to the government to do it. (What’s left of the government voted for it, so no high hopes)

      This together with the proposed law against “verheerlijken van terrorisme”(the proposed law is so written, it can mean any support for any terroristic organization. Think UK with Palestine action) link in dutch to a article about it It can be implemented that you go to jail if you say you any thing that is anti fascism.
