'''Geert Wilders''' (born 1963) is a Dutch politician and the founder and leader of the Dutch [[Party for Freedom]]. As being the sole member of the foundation operating the party, he in practice has absolute control over it.


Wilders is best known for his [[anti-Islamization]] views which have made him a controversial figure in the Netherlands and abroad. Since 2004 and the assassination of [[Theo van Gogh]] he has permanent personal protection by armed bodyguards. In 2008, he made a controversial film about his views on Islam, ''Fitna''. Various attempts to convict him for "[[hate speech]]" have failed. In 2016 a new trial started.

Wilders considers himself to be a "right-wing liberal". The Party for Freedom has advocated anti-[[immigration]] (in particular anti-Muslim immigration), anti-Islamization, and anti-[[EU]] policies.
 
It opposes Muslim ritual slaughter but not Jewish ritual slaughter despite doing so in the past. The change may be related to Jewish protests regarding this.<ref>Wilders, the “golden pompadoured maverick”http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/02/wilders-the-golden-pompadoured-maverick/</ref>

A less often mentioned aspect of the 2017 election was the success of a non-Dutch ethnic minority interest party.
