Prime Minister Jetten urges FVD leader to address antisemitism within party
Prime Minister Rob Jetten has called on Lidewij de Vos, leader of Forum voor Democratie (FVD), to take action against antisemitism within her party, citing “clear signals” involving party members.
Jetten said, "I call on the party leader, as I do with other party leaders, to get to work when there are obvious signals that members of your party are doing or have done things in the past that are unacceptable."
The comments follow NRC's reporting identifying far-right candidates on FVD lists for municipal elections. According to the newspaper, candidate Kay Burgemeester had previously made antisemitic statements, including sharing a conspiracy theory claiming that Jews are responsible for migration from other parts of the world. Burgemeester serves as FVD’s faction leader in Schagen, where the party secured three seats in the municipal council.
