PVV ‘open for all constructive proposals’

The anti-Islam party PVV is open for ‘all constructive proposals’ from the other parties in The Hague about forming a coalition to run the city, local leader Sietse Fritsma is quoted as saying by Nos tv on Tuesday.


Fritsma made the comments during a public debate between all the parties represented on the city council.
However, despite repeated questioning, he refused to say what elements of the PVV’s election manifesto he would be prepared to make a compromise on, such as the headscarf ban and closure of all Islamic schools.
Labour, the biggest party in The Hague, will not form a coalition with the PVV because of its standpoints. The PVV is the second biggest party in the city since the local elections earlier this month.
‘The divisions between our parties are not only too big, but some of their ideas are against the Dutch constitution and European human rights legislation,’ local leader Jeltje van Nieuwenhoven said.
