Wilders’ PVV in opposition in Almere

The anti-Islam party PVV has not been able to find enough parties prepared to form a coalition administration in Almere, local party leader Raymond de Roon said on Wednesday evening.


The PVV emerged as the largest party in the new town following the local elections.
‘In the meetings I have held with the other eight parties it has emerged that they are unwilling to make concesions to PVV voters,’ De Roon was reported as saying.
Among issues the party considers crucial are the introduction of urban commandos on the streets, a headscarf ban in public buildings and local tax cuts.
De Roon said the right-wing Liberals VVD, seen by many as the most likely partner for the PVV, wanted a broad coalition of PVV, VVD and Labour, which was second in the local vote. ‘This is an illusion, given Labour’s position,’ De Roon said.
