High court judge says Wilders is undermining the legal system

The president of the high court has indirectly criticised comments by MP Geert Wilders, saying he is undermining the legal system, news agency ANP reported on Sunday.


This is particularly the case because Wilders is a member of parliament who is supposed to contribute to the stability of the law, Geert Cortstens said during tv show Buitenhof.
During his trial for inciting hatred Wilders has made a number of critical comments about the legal system. On Friday his trial collapsed after a special panel ruled the judges should be replaced.
