(Morocco World News) Dutch political party DENK spoke with Morocco World News to explain how they want to do things differently and what sets them apart. Amid turbulent times in Europe, the Netherlands is organizing a national parliamentary election on March 17.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact daily life, the economy is struggling, and persistent racism and Islamophobia are becoming increasingly mainstream.
The rise of the far-right populist demagogues in the Netherlands has been met by political cowardice and even co-option by traditional Dutch politics. Parties across the political spectrum are increasingly aping divisive rhetoric and adopting problematic policies.
Few dare to directly oppose Islamophobia and xenophobia in Holland’s political landscape; one exception is the multicultural centrist DENK party.
