Wilders ‘very happy’ with court decision

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.
