Theo Hiddema doesn’t feel bad for Putin | Inland

This time he expresses his objections to understanding words from fellow party members about the war effort of Russian President Putin, who unleashed an invasion into Ukraine last week. Party leader Baudet stated that the West caused the invasion. “The fact that Russia is now responding is all too predictable,” said Baudet, who received a lot of criticism from the Lower House of his statements.

Now there is also disapproval in our own ranks. “What explains the pathological bigotry within FvD with the strong man (Putin, ed.)?” Hiddema wonders. “Something with Freud perhaps, failed identification with an absent father figure? Who knows. Clever too, all that historical geopolitical writing desk knowledge that Putin has to interpret. It is easy, however, that in all these considerations the fate of the Ukrainian living now remains unnamed.”

Despite an earlier ‘final plea’ made by Hiddema, an appeal to his party members to stop comparing wars during the corona pandemic, a rebuke after Nazi and racist apps in FvD app groups, Hiddema remained connected to the party. He is still active within the party on Saturday, but again feels he has reason to express his dissatisfaction.

According to Hiddema, the Ukrainians “know all too well what awaits them if the Russian brother people come to liberate them,” he writes. “Thanks to Stalin, there were millions of deaths from starvation and deportations. After the Second World War, other fraternal peoples were also liberated by the Putins of yesteryear, their countries had vassals come to power, their prisons became torture chambers, their justice a charade. And now we have to understand Putin if he wants to go back to this Soviet coercive system?” he wonders aloud.

The senator asks the question: “What does the FvD think about the fact that the now living Ukrainian does not want to see his life expectancy dependent on others who determine for him how he should adapt to his historical fate?”

Hiddema says it is “clear that the people want democratic governance and have not asked for Russian help,” the senator said. “Help must then be offered by a compulsive liar who muzzles his own people and poisons political opponents. With a democratically organized FvD heart you cannot escape the sigh ‘Putin is a proletarian’!”
