(NL Times) The police received a record number of reports from politicians being threatened in 2022. The Team Threatened Politicians (TBP) of the police in The [Hague] received 1,125 reports of threats and incitement addressed to parliamentarians and government officials, almost two times as many as the year before. Then there were 588 reports.
The increase is mainly due to more threats against one parliamentarian — Geert Wilders. At least half of the 1,125 reports came from the PVV leader. He received many threats from outside the European Union. The total number of threatened politicians was comparable to previous years. For privacy reasons, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) does not make statements about individual politicians.
