Fourteen Dutch Muslim organizations have filed a formal legal complaint against right-wing leader Geert Wilders, accusing him of sedition, group insult, and incitement to hatred over a divisive social media post ahead of the November elections.
The complaints cite an image Wilders shared on X last week. The split-screen graphic contrasts a young blonde woman with the caption “PVV” (Wilders’ Party for Freedom) on one side with an older woman in a headscarf captioned “PvdA” (the Labour Party) on the other, with the following text: “The choice is yours on 29/10.” The date references the upcoming Dutch parliamentary elections where polls project the PVV to win.
