(European Conservative) According to Visegrád24 on X, a motion in the Dutch Parliament to ban the Muslim Brotherhood narrowly failed today, falling just two votes short. The proposal was introduced by Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), and MP Maikel Nunes. Despite strong backing from the PVV, the motion collapsed after the right-wing anti-immigration party Forum for Democracy (FvD) unexpectedly withheld its support. It is unclear at this point what made FvD change its mind.
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is one of the most influential Islamist movements in the world. While it presents itself as a social and political organization, critics accuse it of being a gateway to radicalization and extremism.
