Nederlanders! It's your country! Come out to hear Geert Wilders at Didam, Wednesday evening, June 17th

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), who wrote "When Our Cities Resemble Warzones, We Have to Reclaim Our Streets",  reposted on WWW earlier today,  is coming to Didam on Wednesday evening, June 17th for a large gathering to protest the planned opening of an asylum- seekers' centre. 

According to the organizers, it will be the largest protest to date against the project in the municipality of Montferland. The municipality intends to accommodate a maximum of 250 asylum seekers. The action group "No asylum-seekers' centre in Montferland" has been campaigning for weeks against the arrival of the reception facility.

The protest will take place on Wednesday evening, June 17th, in Didam. According to initiator Ton van den Aarssen, the new gathering will be larger than previous actions. "[This is] the sixth," he says "but this time it will be bigger, with Geert Wilders."In addition to Mr Wilders, several local speakers are on the programme. 

After the speeches, the organizers plan to hold a protest march through the village. According to Mr van den Aarssen, "It is difficult to predict how many people will be present. I can't look into a crystal ball, but we are going to invite local action groups from the Achterhoek. However, many villagers are hesitant."

He said the decision to invite Mr Wilders was made deliberately due to his outspoken stance on asylum reception. "Who else in the Netherlands is so outspoken against an asylum-seekers' centre?"

PVV's publicity for the event shouts. "We won't bow. To anyone. This is the Netherlands, our country!"
