Lidewij de Vos was interviewed by Ongehoord Nederland (Unheard Netherlands) shortly after the result was announced in the recent Dutch national elections. She reiterated her desire to see a technical government with decisions taken by shifting majorities in the Second Chamber of the Dutch States-General (the parliament). Unfortunately, for the time being, it looks as if the usual suspects – the parties which have governed the country for at least the last decade – will get together in a huddle and eventually produce a coalition which continues all the failed policies already in place - especially the EU, climate policy and the war in Ukraine. Moreover, they will not implement FVD’s primary demand - the introduction of binding referenda into the Dutch constitution. In short, they will do everything to shut out popular and parliamentary involvement in government, in order remorselessly to pursue the globalist project. The system has a lot of life left in it.

FVD International’s director, John Laughland, gave an interview about the Dutch elections to the French TV station, TV Libertés, which has given prominence to FVD on several occasions in the past. (Thierry Baudet was interviewed by the channel last year.) John said that the election was above all a defeat for the PVV of Geert Wilders, which has governed the country for over a year. Just as many FVD voters voted for Wilders in 2023, so they have returned to FVD now. FVD is not just a more radical party than the PVV but also more structured. PVV campaigns on only one issue and has only one member (Wilders himself) whereas FVD covers a wide range of subjects and tries to solve problems at their root. As for the D66 party which formally won the elections, this is yet another iteration of the kind of political marketing stings we have seen repeatedly over recent decades, in particular with Barack Obama and Emmanuel Macron: youthfulness, change, hope, Europe, blah blah blah. Plus ça change…

One of the issues which distinguishes FVD from the PVV is remigration. FVD is for it, PVV is not. FVD International is delighted to republish an in-depth paper by our friend and Forum guest, Cyan Quinn. She argues that the Great Replacement of the American population is due to deliberate policy, in particular the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 which eliminated restrictions on the national origin of immigrants and instead imposed overall quotas, independent of ethnic origin. As Cyan puts it very pointedly, the authors of this Act, and those who have supported a colour-blind immigration policy since, have ‘sold the nation out for cheap labour for their corporate donors, cheap nannies for their career obsessed wives and cheap gardeners for their lavish suburban gardens.’ Strong stuff.
We had an exceptional guest on The Forum this week, Diego Sequera, who joined us live from Caracas. Will Trump invade Venezuela or is this another example of TACO – Trump always chickens out? Either way, US foreign policy is a sh*t show.
