Wilders first acknowledged Trump’s lead in the motion posted to X. “It is suspected that Antifa cells are also active in our country, threatening politicians, disrupting meetings, intimidating students and journalists, and not shying away from using violence,” he alleged in the motion.
Such a provision could grant the government countermeasures to stifle the organization, such as taking down websites, police monitoring, the use of special forces and a spot on the national terrorism list, according to the Dutch government.
