Wilders demands rectification of Özcan Akyol after statements in VI Today | Inland

Johan Derksen said in the talk show that he thinks Wilders says very reasonable things “when the sharp edges” have been removed. Akyol responded by saying that Wilders “wants to take away the right to vote from people with a Muslim background.” “He’s sidelining himself.”

According to Knoops, the PVV does not specifically want to take away the right to vote from people with a Muslim background. The PVV program states that the party wants to deny people with dual nationality the right to vote, nor do they want to allow them to hold political office. “This has nothing to do with people ‘with a Muslim background’,” writes Knoops in a letter to Akyol, which was put on Twitter by Wilders.

‘Legal measures’

Knoops demands that Akyol retract his statements within five days. If not, then “the PVV will consider legal action.”

Akyol rejects the claim. “Geert Wilders – mister freedom of speech – is offended because I said he wants to take away the right to vote from Muslims. That is a factual interpretation of this position,” he tweeted, referring to the PVV position on dual nationality. “Moroccan Muslims cannot renounce that nationality. cry baby. So no correction.”
