“There was information about a situation that could potentially be threatening to Thierry Baudet and Theo Hiddema. That is why they left the room as a precaution on the advice of our security, ”said a spokesman for the party.
According to a police spokesman, several people have been stopped, but no one has been arrested. “There was no indication during the check that they intended to do anything bad.”
Bandoptreden
Meanwhile, a performance by a band had to provide distraction. It is the first physical meeting of FvD since the corona virus advanced in our country. It was not a presentation of a concrete election program, but a launch of a ‘long-term vision’ within which the election program will be shaped later.
“We sat indoors for six months, and were unable to hold a conversation for six months. Six months in which it became increasingly clear that the virus is much less dangerous than everyone thought, ”Baudet began his speech from a catwalk in the Musis Parkzaal in Arnhem. With a maximum of 200 men in the room, the corona measures could be observed, a spokesperson for the party assured. Interested parties were in couples with tables between them to separate them from each other. In terms of attendance, the meeting thus contrasted pale with the pre-corona events of FvD, which often attracted thousands of people.
‘Absurdity of corona measures’
Baudet denounced the “absurdity” of the corona measures, which he believes illustrate the cabinet’s “path-dependence”. “They just keep on going down a path, knowing that it doesn’t make any sense anymore.”
For Baudet it formed a bridge to the well-known campaign pillars of Forum for Democracy: the European Union, climate policy and immigration. With a number of graphs about the increasing housing shortage, the state of education and rape numbers, a hallucinatory video was heralded in which Baudet explained the vision of the future among his party.
Hyperloop
With Baudet’s characteristic sense of drama, the audience heard what the Netherlands would look like under FvD rule in 20 years’ time. According to Baudet, for example, energy must be obtained from thorium reactors (‘Virtually free unlimited energy for everyone’), ‘all sustainability plans’ are stopped and the Netherlands will have a’ commercial hyperloop, a network of super-fast train connections with which you can travel from one side within 15 minutes. from one country to another. ”
By halting immigration, we can count on a ‘population decline’ and ‘the return of conviviality’. Schiphol 2.0 will be located in the sea, creating space around the present-day Schiphol for “a nature park with the planting of a primeval forest, with moose and wild horses. By stopping climate policy and immigration we will save tens of billions, ”said Baudet. The reorganization of the NPO and the exit from the EU, and the introduction of ‘referendums on the Swiss model’ are a matter of course for Baudet in 2040. “We regained the spirit of the Golden Age.”

Hiddema wants to continue
When the video was over, Baudet called his fellow party fellow Theo Hiddema. Hiddema announced that he wanted to continue as a Member of Parliament for another four years and then discussed current affairs with the audience. The criminal lawyer annex MP called in statements by the brand new D66 leader Sigrid Kaag from last weekend. On the TV program Buitenhof, Kaag said that a collaboration with FvD is not an option for her party. “Why should I not want to rule with Mrs. Kaag,” sneered Hiddema. “And Mr Jetten, he seems like a very nice boy too.”
The Grapperhaus affair, “that festers on,” thought Hiddema. “I think Grapperhaus is an amiable man who I do not like this bother at all. We first had Halsema, who was screaming on Dam Square, wearing a Black Lives Matter button, purely out of her own need to participate, she has broken the corona rules with thousands of others. ”
“But yes, that’s politics, isn’t it?” He concluded his story – to which Baudet exclaimed: “But you’re going to go through with it, aren’t you!”
The triptych should have ended with farmer Jan Cees Vogelaar, who held up the recently published book ‘The Politics of Common Sense’ by Baudet and related a number of highlighted themes in the book – such as immigration – to the farmers. Shortly thereafter Hiddema and Baudet had to be evacuated.
After just under an hour of chaos – in which it was casually announced via a video that FvD would soon be bringing US President Donald Trump to the Netherlands for an event – the two FvD men returned to finish the remainder of their speeches. to make.
