New date for Wilders’ trial
The trial of PVV leader Geert Wilders on discrimination and inciting hatred charges will resume on March 14 when his lawyer Bram Moszkowicz will restate his opening remarks to the Amsterdam court, news agency ANP reports.
The public prosecutor will respond two days later.
During the original trial, prosecutors called for Wilders to be acquitted, but groups who forced the prosecution in the first place are pressing for the new trial to continue.
The court is expected to decide whether the case should continue or be abandoned on March 30, says ANP.
