municipal Rotterdam, PVV and Jesus Lives

This year, no less than twenty parties participated in the municipal elections in Rotterdam. two sides covered in our examination of the candidates. Both are newcomers to Rotterdam, PVV and Jesus Lives.

This is the first part of a series of short articles about the local elections 2018.

Jesus lives

The orthodox Christian party Jesus Live takes the life of Jesus as a political example. "If we follow Jesus together everything better!"Represents the party makes a bid for a seat in thirteen municipalities. is made in a very short program of the party that refugees are welcome, but only on a temporary basis. Jesus Lives want everything to be put into operation "to turn back refugees to their own country."

This point will be the only candidate Rotterdam Wim Kleen (1972) familiar to your ears. Kleen was in 1998 candidate for the Center Democrats (CD) the district council election in Rotterdam Feijenoord. Party leader Janmaat has been sentenced by the court at that time for incitement to hatred and the CD is a party in decline. Yet Kleen committed (along with his current wife) yet to make a success of this far-right party. in vain, CD returns after the elections in almost any city council back which also puts an end to the political career of Wim Kleen.

Kleen is now making a new start. He wants to express his political views in Jesus Lives. The Rotterdam party leader appears according to his Facebook profile also have sympathy for Forum for Democracy and Freedom Party.

The PVV

The PVV campaign already launched in Rotterdam 14 december. On the day presented Wilders Géza Hegedus (1962). He should be one that had to do battle with Liveable Rotterdam party leader impeccable. Following the publication of our artikel the political background of Hegedüs however, he was immediately sent from the lane. Hegedüs left the NRC Learn to be surprised at this turn of events. He should have known better. More than two weeks before its launch as party leader was Research Kafka call Hegedüs about his ambitions for the PVV. That we should expose his political background was therefore obvious.

Patriotic Front

The new PVV party leader Maurice Meeuwissen (1969) We know of no other political organizations. His social media profiles he removed or shielded. Therefore Meeuwissen remains for us unknown. Like the rest of the candidates is not more to say about him that is typical PVV'er.

The Boer, Administrator Patriotic Front
The Boer, Administrator Patriotic Front

A notable candidate is lijstduwer Elisa den Boer from Pernis. That Den Boer her twelfth place on the candidate list will not get into the council sees itself also in. She divides her political power whatsoever over multiple organizations. Den Boer is also active in the Patriotic Front, a small organization that places itself politically in the corner of Erkenbrand. The Patriotic Front has the ambition to transform itself into a party and the interests of the extreme-right political veteran Marcel Hoogstra (1966) uit Rotterdam. Hoogstra said in November 2017 having been present at a meeting of the Patriotic Front. After the PVV demonstration in Rotterdam he complimented Den Boer because of the "good mixed company", referring to the presence of activists of the NCE, Outpost, Identitair Resistance and other far-right organizations in the demonstration.

Elisa den Boer is one of the Facebook administrators' secret group’ (553 leden) the Patriotic Front. This secret page was started because of the growth of the organization. It is intended that statements here, news and "partnerships with other groups and future actions" reported, without political opponents can hear here. Den Boer calls this group the members to vote on it and get to the PVV demonstration in Rotterdam. Under her management is here among others placed an anti-Semitic image, which a stereotypical Jewish man as cause’ of multiculturalism is seen. Several far-right slanging be placed in the secret group. On her personal Facebook profile liket Den Boer radical groups like Britain First and Dutch Defense League and has friendships with very radical people as the former Outpost action director Luc Vermeulen from Flanders (1943) and former candidate CP'86 Eddy Beem (1956).


In the elections in Rotterdam is a contest between the incumbent and newcomer Liveable Rotterdam PVV occur right. There are many crossovers between the competing parties have been in recent years. In the PVV are now two representatives of Liveable Rotterdam candidate. Marjan Gonsalvez (1961) Norbert one Swaneveld (1966) are both members of the area committee in IJsselmonde. Ze are in 2014 elected on behalf of Liveable Rotterdam. On social media seems their relationship with the people of Liveable Rotterdam still strong. Marjan Gonsalvez it also puts lines to people of extreme right-wing activist groups such Pegida Netherlands and Outpost. She also indicates that she Pegida Netherlands “nice” and will do the same with the Vlaams Belang.

In Livable Rotterdam, the number of candidates had an official commitment to the PVV much higher. We count twelve candidates who have had a visible commitment to the PVV. Here, PVV-Senator (tot 2015) Ronald Sorensen (1947) and PVV Staten (tot 2014) John van Assendelft (1954) The most prominent examples.
