In this monitor report right-wing extremism, attention is paid to the development of the extreme right-wing field in the Netherlands in 2020. This is done in a longitudinal context, whereby we always place the research period within the framework of a longer development. We first pay attention to the definition and demarcation of the term extreme right. We then provide insight into the manifestations and manifestations of the extreme right. Finally, we will discuss various forms of (government)response to the phenomenon.
Open sources have been used for the compilation of this overview, to a large extent primary sources: Publications, websites and other digital media channels of extreme right-wing organizations and their supporters, conversations with (voormalige) right-wing extremists and observations of public activities (demonstraties) of these organizations. The collected data was further analyzed and framed using existing literature on right-wing extremism in the Netherlands and compared and interpreted with insights from other observers of the extreme right field..

The year 2020 will forever be marred by the global pandemic which spread around the world, locking us in our homes, hiding our faces behind masks and tragically taking hundreds of thousands of lives. As we enter 2021 the death toll continues to rise though the arrival of numerous vaccines has provided a much needed glimmer of hope. However, while a thin shard of light has begun to lift the seemingly unending darkness of last year, the ramifications of the pandemic will continue to be felt for years to come; not least the impending economic crisis set to grip the world economy. Yet, it has by no means been all bad news. In the face of such tragedy we have seen communities come together, neighbours and strangers helping one another and examples of heart-breaking sacrifice, love and hope.

P 99:

Activist far rights group are small, badly organised and infighting. Main typology of action is to try and attract (media) attention by organising provocative actions (tearing pages out the Quran, grilling pig meat in front of a mosque, occupying roof tops of mosques or refugee centers) with small numbers of activists.
Next to activist groups we see online appearance, internationalisation and radicalisation of larger groups of (mainly young, sometimes very young) extreme right activist.

Last, there is the Political party Forum for Democracy (FVD, Democratic Forum) with two members in Parliament. FVD, and more specific party leader Thierry Baudet and his trustees, associate themselves on frequent occasions with right extremist ideology and right extremist people.

Soort Uitgave:
Beschrijving:

This report shows that the number of racist and anti-Semitic incidents in 2014 increased compared 2013. The explanation for the sharp increase in the number of racist incidents is unclear. One possible explanation could be a hardening in the political and social climate after the local elections in March 2014. However, the large number of reports against Geert Wilders is not included in this report. The increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents may be explained by the intensification of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the summer of 2014. In those months were in the Netherlands more anti-Semitic incidents. Due to the small number of incidents, we can draw conclusions however here. Opposite the aforementioned increase is difficult to explain decrease in the number of racist and anti-Semitic abuse incidents. A possible explanation could be that the type of profanity used fashion sensitive, allowing some epithets with anti-Semitic or racist connotation in 2014 less were used.

Three other points are covered in this report. The first is that anti-Semitic violence and racist violence take place within a different dynamics. The main difference is the reason: in anti-Semitic violence were much more often anti-Semitic intentions than that racist intentions in racial violence gave rise. The second point is that, Despite the stable small size of right-wing extremist, We note with some caution that extreme right violence appears to be increasing slightly. The third point is that the Prosecution has indicated from 2015 commune-offenses discriminatory aspect to take in its registration. Because of this, we expect 2016 a strong improvement in the understanding of the settlement of discrimination incidents.

In het navolgende komen alle klassiek extreemrechtse organisaties die in 2013 actief waren in Nederland kort aan de orde. Nederland kent verschillende extreemrechtse groepen. Die onderscheiden zich lang niet allemaal langs ideologische lijnen. Vaker gaat het om groepen die zich van andere groepen onderscheiden door onderlinge ruzies, incompatibilité d’humeur en persoonlijke conflicten. Maar deze verschillende groepen zijn wel in twee ideologische categorieën in te delen. We maken een onderscheid tussen identitaire formaties, die zich vooral beroepen op een Nederlandse identiteit, en neonazi’s, die zich meer richten op de oude nationaalsocialistische idealen van het Derde Rijk. Na de bespreking van de ontwikkelingen rond deze groepen in 2013 geven wij een beredeneerde schatting van het aantal leden van genoemde formaties. Tot slot kijken we kort naar de veranderende interactie in 2013 tussen klassiek extreemrechtse formaties en de Partij voor de Vrijheid (PVV).

Politicians present themselves to their statements about ethnic or religious
to account for minority groups to court? Or is this
accountability to take place solely in the public debate?
This question can also be raised for cartoonists,
columnists, or comedians. This is an important social
question: where does the boundary of free speech
and start of the ban on discrimination?
That limit is not static, but depending on time, place and circumstances.
In the Netherlands plays this clash of rights expressly
in the legal prosecution of PVV leader Geert Wilders. Begin
2010 is the persecution ordered by the Amsterdam Court. De
lawsuit is of great importance for the determination of the boundary between
two fundamental rights in the Netherlands, but does not determine everything. Likewise
factor is that Netherlands to international human rights treaties
has committed and must abide by the Charter of Fundamental Rights
of the European Union.
Related to this discussion is to find and identify the
border between victim and perpetrator in incidents in which racism or discrimination
plays a role. In everyday practice shows role reversal
easily to be able to take place. Muslims have been victims
of Islamophobic violence, but radical Muslims may also be offenders
terrorist offenses. Sometimes commit extreme right youth violence,
because they have been victims of earlier immigrant violence.
In the aforementioned example of Geert Wilders this goes double
role, in particular,. When accused of inciting hatred against Muslims include
he is also a victim of threats against his person a

Fortuyn's famous slogan "I say what I think" has not in recent years
only gained widespread imitation, but also led to fierce discussions
about the limits of freedom of expression. Begin 2006, during
global outcry over the Danish Mohammed cartoons', pleaded vvd-
MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali for "the right to beledigen'.1 A Danish
prints was an image of the Prophet Mohammed with a turban in
the shape of a bomb with lit fuse. This cartoon was shown 2008
a starring role in the film Wilders, Fitna, which already has also led to
heated discussions about the limits of freedom of expression. Now That
which borders have shifted and that more can be said than before
seems clear. A striking example is the uproar over the
police raid in May 2008 a Dutch cartoonist 'Gregory
Shot in the neck "which for years has been criticized Islam. The Arrest
the cartoonist, who was suspected of the prohibitions on discrimination
to have violated, aroused great public and political outrage.
Cartoons should be able to, as was widely argued, regardless of
their content. The question of where the limits of free expression than
it should be, remained in the background. However, in discussions
in recent years increasingly argued that the border should
be drawn at inciting violence.
But, as others say, without inciting violence large
harm be done, because the expanded freedoms of expression
influence on the occurrence of intolerance and discrimination. As argument
for this position are indications for a relatively high level
Islamophobia cited in Netherlands. From a survey showed
that more than half of the Dutch, non-Muslim school age
fourteen- to sixteen year olds are negative relative
of moslims.2 As one of the causes is negative image
genoemd: "Negative stereotypes of Muslims and negative clichés
of islam, negative messages from parents and best friend
about Muslims and Islam, and the belief that Muslims are a threat

This is the ninth violence report of Monitoring Racism & Extremism, conducted by the Anne Frank Foundation and Leiden University. The project is supported by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Seven times these reports were published as part of a wide reporting and a time, in 2003, The violence statistics prompted to issue an autonomous publication in the form of a cahier.
This is the first time that we spend an autonomous digital reporting out on this topic. Direct reasons for this are the launch of the website of the Racism & Extremism in 20061 and the successful cooperation with the National Police (KLPD). This co-operation makes it possible to obtain better holding of material in a short time. As a result, it was possible to achieve a good, systematized reporting figures 2006 to come. We think it makes sense to now publish this report and not to wait until a new wide reporting, which is expected to end 2008 will appear.

With the Racism & Extremism seeks various forms of racism, extremism and anti-Semitism - and reactions to these phenomena - to
monitor and issue periodic reports. First we will look at the phenomena: how do racism, extremism and anti-Semitism in the Dutch society. One could look at the expression, such as politically organized racism, and to the exclusion form, eg catering discrimination. Some symptoms are limited by their nature not to the Dutch territory, such as discrimination on the Internet. In such cases, the extra-territorial context is taken into account. Fixed pattern in the monitoring study is the attempt as much as possible to identify different kinds of victims and perpetrators. This exercise can relate to both natives and foreigners, including the latter let divide again in various minority groups. The response to racism, extremism and anti-Semitism can be different in nature, from educational to legal. Usually the nature of the response depending on the appearance of the discrimination, the category of victims and the background of the perpetrators. In addition, some forms of response to coexist or even synergistic. Regular monitoring of the phenomena, victims, the perpetrators and the response serves several purposes. In this way we try to contribute to the understanding of the fight against racism, extremism and anti-Semitism. Furthermore, accumulation of knowledge rather than the fixed system and the periodicity of the study. Finally, there is an image obtained by developments in the long run and makes suggestions based on past experience for future solutions.
