A new minority government made up of the Christian Democrats and VVD Liberals which is supported by the PVV should defend the anti-Islam party’s position on human rights, according to PVV MP Hero Brinkman.

Brinkman makes the comments in the new issue of Amnesty International magazine Wordt Vervolgd, newspaper Trouw reports on Tuesday.
The three parties, currently in talks on forming a new government, had agreed to ‘respect’ each others’ positions on Islam.
‘If the PVV is soon going to give tacit support the government, the government will have to take the PVV’s standpoints into account. And then the Netherlands, once the self-proclaimed leader in the field of human rights, will have to support the PVV’s thoughts internationally,’ the paper quoted Brinkman as saying.
The PVV wants to ban the Koran, ban the building of new mosques, close Islamic schools and end immigration from non-Western countries.
Brinkman made waves during the election campaign by calling for more democracy within the PVV itself. The party has no members apart from its leader Geert Wilders.
In a reaction on the micro blogging site Twitter, Brinkman said the interview was six weeks old ‘when the world was completely different’.
