Dutch Freedom Party (PVV)

The Dutch Freedom Party (PVV), founded by Geert Wilders in 2006, is a right-wing political party in the Netherlands known for its nationalist and populist views. It emphasizes stricter immigration controls, particularly against Muslim communities, and advocates for Dutch sovereignty and cultural identity. The PVV often criticizes the European Union, promotes law and order, and questions policies they see as threatening Dutch traditions. While it appeals to voters concerned about immigration and national identity, it has faced controversy due to its rhetoric and stance on multiculturalism. The party remains influential within Dutch politics, representing a more hardline segment of the electorate.
