Flowers for Wilders

Published on 24 November 2009 - 2:48pm
More about:

An entire bus full of flowers with love notes attached to them destined for the Dutch anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders. This is a gesture from the students of the Islamic University in Rotterdam.
 

But MP Wilders, leader of the PVV, the second largest party in the Netherlands, according to public opinion polls, decided to ignore the gesture.

 

Bring the flowers to a nursing home, was his message to the initiator of the action, author Nilgün Yerli.

 

After several hours waiting in front of the parliament building, Yerli finally decided to distribute the flowers to passers-by in The Hague.
