A ruling by the Court of Appeal Den Haag in a case against a council member from SP Zoetermeer die in juni 2014 Internet his fellow councilor Hilbrand Nawijn of the Lijst Hilbrand Nawijn a “racist” had named. Nawijn campaigned against the introduction of an Islamic school. The SP Euro-MP wrote: “In the context of problems so I name the problem, discrimination of an entire religious community by the racist @lhn_nawijn“. In september 2015 SP Euro-MP was still acquitted, but now appealed or the court finds him guilty of defamation. He gets a suspended fine. The Court states that the word ‘racist‘ by the events of World War II has a particularly negative charge. In 2018 bends the Supreme Court on this matter.
