Wilders has more than 800,000 followers on the social media platform. His profile picture has been turned into a cartoon and his banner has been replaced with an image of the Moroccan flag. “It shouldn’t get any crazier,” says Wilders. “Hopefully it will generate many new followers among my Moroccan friends,” he jokes.
Since the night of Wednesday to Thursday, the account also retweets all kinds of other accounts, which contradict Wilders’ views. According to the politician, “all nonsense messages are being posted.” He says he can no longer access his own account.
The alleged hackers incidentally declared to the program GO! on NPO Radio 1 that they hacked the account because “we think Geert Wilders goes way too far with his statements. Especially about Moroccans and Muslims. We are not, but have a lot of sympathy for these people. ” The hackers did not want to be broadcast, but did chat with the presenter beforehand, who read the messages on the channel.
