“Remembering Pim Fortuyn’s Legacy: Reflections on the Inappropriate Commemoration of His Death”

Totally inappropriate to do this today!

Pim Fortuyn has been dead for 21 years. So today there is another historic event, but never as historic as the shooting death of a politician in cold blood, in broad daylight, with the permission of a judge afterwards that Volkert just failed to register himself for the 2014 City Pier City Run. You can commemorate it all how you want, as long as you know that freedom is not to be taken for granted and we should never make normal what was not normal.

Thom de Graaf is now vice-chairman of the Council of State. Pim Fortuyn is now dead.
