Pim Fortuyn, the hero of Rotterdam, the man who shook the country awake, once said, "Do not aim for what is possible, but what is imaginable." He wanted to make clear that for us, the Dutch, nothing is impossible.

Pim Fortuyn was right. Nothing is impossible for us. We are Dutch.

Look at our country. We have single-handedly created this unique and beautiful land. We are the only people in the world living in a country which for the largest part we created ourselves. A great achievement.

We not only created our own land, but we also explored the world. We have sailed all the seas. We founded New York and discovered Australia. Sometimes, it seems like we have forgotten it all. Forgotten what we are capable of. What we are capable of when we put our mind to it. And maybe that is our problem. We must dare to think big again. Because where there is a will there is a way.

On Monday, the trial against freedom of speech begins.
Geert Wilders will not attend this political trial.

The statement by Geert Wilders on video.

Below is the written statement which Geert Wilders released today:

In 2005 my people, the Dutch, rejected the European Constitution in a referendum.
But the European Union made some cosmetic changes to the text and, by 2009, forced it down our throat anyway as the “Treaty of Lisbon”. And so, we learned an important lesson. The EU is neither transparent nor democratic, and disregards the will of our people.
Last April in a consultative referendum, the Dutch rejected the Association Treaty between the EU and Ukraine. Guess what? It is deja-vu all over again.
After the referendum, rather than pulling the plug on the treaty the Europhile ruling elites in the EU member states, including those in my own country, try to continue as if nothing has happened.
This blatant disrespect of the EU’s political elites for national democracy and sovereignty is one of the major reasons why my party is advocating NExit, a Dutch withdrawal from the EU. Indeed, we want to follow the British example because, like you, we believe that exit is the only honorable thing to do.

We must save our democracy.
