From Europe News:
"We are at the beginning of something great!”
pi-news 14 June 2011
The Swiss Tagesanzeiger newspaper cited the Dutch Islam critic Geert Wilders that we’re "at the beginning of something really great.” Such was the statement of the PVV leader at an informal press discussion with the SVP politician Oskar Freysinger last Thursday in The Hague (PI reported).
It appears hear to be not only an intense friendship but also the formation of a powerful European pact between Islam-critical parties that is above any possible suspicion of being close to "rightwing extremism.”
The Tagesanzeiger writes:
Wilders wants to be inspired by Switzerland. "We want to multiply our initiatives. We are the beginning of something really great,” the Dutch politician said. The minaret initiative especially has affected him. Both politicians not only made shots at Islam this time, but also the debt states of Greece and Portugal receive their digs as well. At the meeting, there was also the discussion of a possible future collaboration. There was talk of a mutual Europe tour, for example. First of all though, Freysinger still plans to bring the Dutchman to Switzerland in September.
For starters, the two will be seen on September 3rd in Berlin at a big event put on by the FREIHEIT (Freedom) Party as part of the election campaign there. It appears that kindred spirits are growing together here. A mass movement in Europe could be formed along the axis of Wilders, Freysinger and Stadtkewitz.
Meanwhile, it is being very carefully observed in Switzerland how SVP politician Oskar Freysinger is deepening his contacts with Islam-critical parties. The Neue Zürcher newspaper reports under the headline "The Self-Appointed Exterior Minister of the SVP” of his appearance at the founding of the Bavarian State Affiliate of the FREIHEIT (Freedom) Party.
At the Unterhaching sports center near Munich, Valais SVP national councilman Oskar Freysinger scored very well. He had been invited as a guest to the inaugural meeting of the new Bavarian affiliate of the anti-Islamic "Die Freiheit” Party. Before around 70 listeners, Freysinger portrayed pleasurably "the crucial experience of my life” when he was able to celebrate the adoption of the minaret initiative on November 23, 2009. Everyone had expected to see a defeated xenophobic and racist Freysinger on TV, "behind him progressive longbeards in the service of religious freedom and women’s, homosexuals’ and human rights,” Freysinger.
Many things bond the Swiss Freysinger, the Dutchman Wilders and the German Stadtkewitz together. They have recognized Islam as the greatest danger to democracy and freedom and share similar views about Europe’s future. The NZZ writes further:
Oskar Freysinger stresses that there is much space to the right of the citizen parties because they have drifted to the left. A few years ago, he rejected contact by a rightwing national group abroad because at that time there were trends toward totalitarianism and much influence by the neonazis. The program of the "Freiheit” Party is "almost congruent” with that of the SVP, Freysinger affirmed. In addition he has encountered interest abroad if he would propagate the Swiss model of direct democracy as a counterpart to the EU’s system.
Freysinger sees unsuspicious companions in Wilders and Stadtekewitz. "I have no reservations of rightwing extremism with them.” The national councilman also plans an appearance with Wilders in The Hague since the planned visit in Wallis by the Dutchman fell through.
Freysinger does not intend to collaborate with the French Front National and Austrian Nationalists. He has concerns about them.
The Berner Zeitung newspaper is also interested in Freysinger’s foreign policy activities and reports on the association between the two Islam-critical politicians:
After the media conference in The Hague, Freysinger and Wilders will return to discuss further collaboration. Both rightwing politicians are planning a European network with like-minded individuals. Also among the leading heads of this developing movement are René Stadtkewitz, head of the newly founded Freedom Party in Germany. Last Saturday, the Valais national councilman was a celebrated guest speaker at the inaugural assembly of the Bavarian affiliate for the Freedom party in Munich. Furthermore, Freysinger is maintaining contacts with Islam-critical groups in France. He distances himself from Front National and Marine Le Pen.
The Freysinger and Co. network intends not only to push back against Islam in Europe. He is also propagating a new system for the EU – and indeed more direct democracy and a confederation according to the Swiss model.
Meanwhile, Heinz-Christian Strache with his FPÖ (Austrian Freedom Party) are entangled in totally unnecessary discussions regarding Hitler’s supposed honorary citizenship in various Austrian cities. This past Wednesday he was at a mutual press conference by the Front National and the FPÖ arranged by Andreas Mölzer where he disparaging remarks about Wilders (”the man is a flash in the pan,” "self promoter,” "undistinguished positions,” "his statements do more damage to a critical debate about Islam more than they help it”) and positive statements about Islam have caused proper confusion. For example, he said this at the end of January 2010:
"Islam is one of the great world religions and deserves the greatest respect and greatest recognition.”
As long as the FPÖ and the Front National find no clearly Islam-critical course or one that is clearly limited from the extreme right, then a closer collaboration with these parties is impossible. It looks quite different with the Swedish Democrats, the Danish People’s Party and the "True Finns,” who would rather strike a common line with Wilders, Freysinger and Stadtkewitz. Belgian Vlaams Belang (Flemish Interest) also has similar Islam-critical positions, just as a PI interview with Filip Dewinter documented on December 8, 2010, in Jerusalem. However, the Vlaams Belang had has since appeared on May 8th in Cologne at a "March for Freedom” along with PRO and the FPÖ.
In light of an increasing islamization of Europe and the effects of the Islamic world view becoming more and more open, it’s only a matter of time before movements that represent a clear opinion about Islam catch on in all of Europe’s countries and become a part of a European alliance with Wilders, Freysinger, Stadtkewitz & Co.
