Forum voor Democratie blunders with German church photo
Anti-immigration party Forum voor Democratie has a made a major blunder on a poster for its campaign in next month’s provincial elections by using a photograph of a German cathedral.
The mistake was spotted by DutchNews.nl contributor Molly Quell when she was watching NOS news about the campaign launch on Saturday evening.
I guess the FvD wants to make the Netherlands German again? pic.twitter.com/HYPDSjZDy2

The church on the poster is actually a stock photograph from the German town of Limburg an der Lahn.
Local campaign leader Ruud Burlet told the Limburger he could not believe a mistake had been made and that he would have to check it out first.
It is the first time FvD has competed in the provincial elections.
