(NL Times) Fourteen Islamic organizations in the Netherlands have filed a criminal complaint against far-right politician Geert Wilders, accusing him of inciting hatred, discrimination or violence, and of group insult and sedition over a social media post comparing images of women labeled as PVV and PvdA voters, RTL reports.
The complaint, confirmed by an attorney for the groups after reporting by Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, centers on a tweet posted last week by the leader of the Party for Freedom, or PVV. The image in the tweet showed a face split into two halves: one half featured a blonde woman with blue eyes and a friendly expression labeled “PVV”; the other half showed a woman wearing a headscarf with a stern, angry expression labeled “PvdA.” Wilders captioned the image: “The choice is yours on Oct. 29” — referring to the upcoming Tweede Kamer elections.
