7 lawmakers quit Geert Wilders' far-right party in stunning setback for Dutch anti-Islam firebrand
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Seven lawmakers quit Geert Wilders' far-right political party on Tuesday in a stunning setback for the Dutch anti-Islam firebrand who narrowly missed out on winning last year's national elections. Wilders, sometimes known as the Dutch Donald Trump, is the longest-serving lawmaker in the lower house of the Dutch parliament and an ally of like-minded European politicians such as Italy's Giorgia Meloni, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the leader of France's National Rally leader Marine Le Pen."
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The outlet investigates financials such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produced the documentary 'The A Word' highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations enable continued reporting and allow journalists to speak to both sides while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The Independent is trusted across the political spectrum and supports paying for journalism through those who can afford it. Seven lawmakers resigned from Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom, marking a significant setback for the long-serving, security-protected far-right lawmaker. Wilders was convicted over insulting Moroccans in 2014 and his party won 26 seats in the October election, equal to centrist D66.
