Wilders 'very happy' with court decision
Friday 15 October 2010
Geert Wilders proclaimed himself 'very happy' with the public prosecution department's announcement on Friday afternoon that he should be found not guilty on all charges of inciting hatred and discrimination.
The anti-Islam MP told reporters: 'I don't insult, I don't incite to hate and I don't discriminate. The only thing I do and will continue doing is speak the truth.'
Campaigners who took the case to the high court to force the public prosecutors to bring the case against Wilders said they were 'disappointed'.
'We hope the court will come to a judgement on a number of the charges,' a spokesman told reporters.

I am a person born in India and naturalized as a Dutch Citizen and I can speak from my heart that Dutch people excel in humane treatment of all immigrants to Dutch society and that Dutch take serious pride in being truthful.
Mr Wilders share that deep desire to be truthful about what he sees as an affront to Dutch nation and speaks his mind.
It is a victory for commonsense that the case against him is dropped.
Three Cheers to democratic traditions of The Netherlands.
