The Party of Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) is a Dutch political party founded in 2006 by Geert Wilders. It is known for its right-wing positions, particularly on immigration and nationalism. The PVV advocates for strict immigration controls, particularly against Muslim immigrants, and promotes Dutch cultural identity.
