Nederlandse Volks-Unie: Verkiezingen 2014

The longest established right-wing party in the Netherlands, the Dutch People's Union (NVU), does in three municipalities participate in municipal elections in 2014. That is certainly not the first, but perhaps somewhat surprised. Surprisingly, because the party since its establishment in 1971 regularly participated in elections without even once to win a seat.

One would expect that the trust it again success can be achieved by now has subsided. But also surprising because the party for some time die after death. Party leader Constant Kusters, Since taking office a decade ago, NCE transformed into a group of friends from several dozen people¹ that only one thing in common: they never give Kusters criticism. This group of friends has gotten it done to allow participation in three counties. To avoid unwanted problems Kusters performs all press events the word. The National Socialist ideology of the party while he lets out wisely consideration. 'New' imaging Kusters calls it. The voters remain uncertain about the ideas, presentation, abilities and backgrounds of local NCE candidates. Time to change that.

Arnhem

In Arnhem, the NCE-list drawn by party chairman Constant Kusters (1971). Not surprising in his hometown. Arnhem Kusters enjoy some local notoriety. Whether that is an advantage, However, it is questionable. In part, he built the reputation the past 25 year as radical neo with loose hands. He came several times in trouble with the police for assault and illegal possession of weapons. Victims were both political opponents as Arnhem citizens, where he used violence against. But not only was the street Kusters awkward in dealing. Also within the extreme right-wing circles made his character sure he wore a series of parties and organizations. It only succeeded him longer a single organization, NCE, involved to stay when he was chairman of that party. But where Kusters his presidency was no more of this organization to put course the reverse occurred. Other far-right organizations within- and abroad, that the NCE wanted to support through the years, dropped out and left are the party left. Even within the party, this development was visible. Many NVU members left the party and their place was barely occupied by new members.

In second place is the loyal party member and the NCE-treasurer Michel Boerboom (1978) from Driel. Boerboom is also more than a decade active within the party and for years head of security, in the demonstrations. Boerboom that is still active for the NCE moreover says much about party discipline. From the NCE is namely loudly protested against pedophiles. Also, in this election, for example, for "pedo free zones' advocates. What are pedophiles for the party obvious. In a speech at a demonstration accusing party chairman Kusters a competing right-wing extremist pedophile because he had a relationship with a minor of approximately 17 years had. When Michel Boerboom however established a relationship with a minor NCE activist he was kept out of the picture for some time but could, after the lady in question came of age return. This loyalty is moreover reciprocal. Boerboom there at almost every party activity in and has also been since its appearance at the party with a lot of elections candidate for the party.

At the places 3 en 4 state the couple Meriam Bruggink from Didam and Mark van der Logs from Westervoort. About them is not much to report. They are not a very long time involved in the NCE, but regular visitors to party activities and demonstrations. Wat wel opvallend is, that Bruggink enjoy some regional fame as lead singer of Dutch music pirates. Sure enough someone with a career at the party.
As a fifth and final state Theo Siebenheller (1948) on the Arnhem list. He is a typical NCE member, loyal visitor of NCE activities and more than a decade active. When the NSB widow Florrie Rost van Tonningen lived in this region he did chores for her.

Purmerend

Purmerend NCE department also consists of loyal followers Kusters. But of a different caliber than his supporters Arnhem. Here pulling Robert-Jan Cool Waard (1972) the list. Cool Waard is especially notable for its full body ondergetatoeëerde, including the necessary Nazi symbolism. Because it would be a shame to keep all of that still covered, Cool Waard poses regularly Facebook photos without clothes or just with all Nazi clothing and using the logo of the “Aryan Terror Brigade/Combat 18”. The really problematic for him when he was put a picture on the Internet with firearms. The police raided and found two handguns banned plastic. Recent Cool Waard was also convicted in another case. He had during an NVU demonstration in Enschede racist expressed through slogans, but also with the tattoo with the NSB greeting 'Hurray' on the side of his head.

Is in second place Peter van Egmond. Van Egmond has been for over twenty years in almost all right-wing organizations in the Netherlands; the Centre Democrats to NCE, van Blood & Honour to the PVV. If the organization itself but Van Egmond will find against migrants in the Netherlands good, whether that's happening with the striped suits the PVV or the bald heads of Blood & Honour. The last few years is that, for lack of other options, especially at the NCE. He has now also joined the NCE-party government, secretary.
The other two places are two candidates who are also on the other lists, Rick Pakvis, also a candidate in Westland and Theo Siebenheller, also candidate in Arnhem.

Westland

NCE-kanidaten list in Westland is headed by the couple Debby Koene (1986) en Rick Pakvis (1982) from Monster. Why Koene list draws is actually unclear, Kusters party chairman calls her 'blank in politics'. What advantage that the party or the people of Westland need to provide is not clear. Her partner Rick Pakvis is slightly less 'blank'. He has been around for several years along with the NCE, regularly visits operations and other activities of the party. Additionally Pakvis has also been a notable interest in WWII. On an Internet profile he put pictures of Adolf Hitler and SS leader Hess. For NCE he organizes visits to bunkers and military museum and makes promotion for these trips on the Nazi Stormfront forum.

In third place on the list is Bart Kotte Laar (1973) from Washington, DC. Kotte Laar also has a long history with Kusters. They have known each other since the early nineties, when both were members of the CP'86 and they also kandi appreciated in different elections for party. Lately Kotte Laar appears at various extreme right actions, the NCE, but also for Post and example in the recent demonstration of the Freedom Party in The Hague.
NCE-candidate list is perfected with chairman Kusters in fourth place.
