New Right is like most extreme right-wing parties in the Netherlands originated from a quarrel and a split of another party. As Michiel Smit in 2003 put out Liveable Rotterdam, Partly because of his ongoing contacts with the Vlaams Blok and the NNP. It soon becomes apparent that the sole fraction Smit pretends an action-oriented right-wing party to establish; New Right.
In building this party Jorg Michael Smith (1976) any opportunism strange. With a "stolen" seat of Liveable Rotterdam features it lacks a grassroots, nor politically experienced staff. For this reason, but also because of the political conventions, Smith leans in building his party strongly on the NNP. This party is represented with two seats in the district Feyenoord and can be considered as the successor of the CP'86. Together carry the New Right and the NNP various street actions. The NNP part councilor Florens van der Kooi and NNP board member Paul Peters are also group employee some time for the New Right. After faltered merger plans cools the love and many steps NNP members over to the New Right. The NNP shower in organizational, puts himself beginning 2005 inactive and since then leads dormant.
Besides the construction of the New Right as 'party action' in the street, which does happen remains a small, The party will also take part in elections. Participation in elections to the European Parliament 2004, where Michiel Smit is lijstrekker, yields with only 0,3% of the votes no seat on. But Smith keeps the spirits up. Participation is good for the reputation of the party as well as a dress rehearsal for the municipal elections where the New Right "at least fifteen council seats expected to have" and "other parties want to be a serious partner." According to Michiel Smit is the goal in Rotterdam minimal 10 seats gain. But in Eindhoven, Ridderkerk and Almelo competes New Right along to political power. Eventually, the New Right wants 2007 end up in the House.
Last year, Smith also known to participate in the elections in the Hoekschewaard going to take. At the last moment this section drops out. The party claiming the Hoekschewaard to have a hundred members, most of which in Oud-Beijerland. Lijstrekker potential of the New Right Oud Beijerland, Marcel Bijsterveld, promised by the party "to the streets to go" and "the people to look at." It is here, however, the New Right foot failed to gain ground. Bijsterveld: "People are afraid to commit themselves to our party or do not want. To put myself as the only candidate on the list, seemed like a good thing. "
Verkiezingsprogramma
It is the party did manage to take part in Eindhoven, Almelo, Ridderkerk Rotterdam. New Right is proud of their "clear and consistent line." From an election for the municipal elections, however, no. Therefore, the party can only be judged on content previously published material. Thus, there is a 10 puntenprogramma, a manifesto, two books by Michiel Smit and the election for the European Parliament. Additionally, discuss party members and sympathizers there on the internet lustily.
A binding element in all these publications is the fear of the loss of 'the Dutch identity'. This would be at stake because of the increase in the large number of "non-Western refugees" in society. To turn the tide we need a party that advocates "encouraging national pride, by o.a. compulsory singing of the national anthem in schools. "In addition, the New Right wants a total closure of borders to refugees and a ban on" neighborhoods with a majority of foreigners. "There must also" no room to Islam "to be given. New Right mosques may be built just outside the town and "should look like this unobtrusively without minarets." To protect the safety of citizens Smith argues in his book 'Safety? Do it Yourself!'For a far-reaching right to private (fire)possession of weapons. In addition, the New Right advocates "posting of army units in the police" and Smith believes that the multicultural society "will only lead to chaos." Therefore, the "Dutch culture be above non-discrimination" and the party "for counter-voting aliens. "Each of arguments that suit a far-right party.
New Right, however, does its best to get rid of the extreme right stigma. As did Michael Smit declaration for defamation against Haitske Linden, former leader of Liveable Netherlands. Following the political course of the New Right, and the statements by Michiel Smit on the neo-Nazi Internet forum "Stormfront Netherlands and Flanders," she called him "almost the largest neo-Nazi of the Netherlands". Op 9 december 2005 speaks the Amsterdam Court of its free. "It was perhaps no neat statement, but in this context it should, "said the judge.
Neo-Nazi
Michiel Smit is not a neo-Nazi, but the New Right is a party that works with neo-Nazis. This is evident not only from the far-reaching cooperation with the NNP. To date, the youth wing of the New Right, Young Right, active in the committee 'No To Turkey'. In the said Committee, which opposes Turkey's accession to the European Union, fascist National Movement plays an active role. Tim Mudde, leading figure in the National Movement, is also a former board member of the CP'86 and leader of the neo-Nazi band Brigade M.
This cooperation leads to the New Right to considerable tension. As the vice-president of Young Right step, Jan Visser Jitze, For this reason, at. But the active members Kees Everaars and Inge Bleecke overtly prove nothing more to want to deal with "national socialists" and "people who worship the SS" and leave the party. Michiel Smit visited 2003 already an information meeting of the National Movement in an extreme right sanctuary in Eindhoven, where Brigade M gave a performance. Smit is familiar with the political background of the National Movement. The internal tensions, the loss of members and the negative publicity that will yield the partnership Smit for granted.
Eindhoven
New Right Eindhoven participates in the election with four candidates, which René van Gool (A.H.J. van Gool, 1972) at the first position,. Van Gool is rural party secretary of the New Right. From his position he is involved in almost every activity the New Right, where he often holds talks. His political contribution is characterized by the extreme right uncomplicated character. In the run up to the election to the European Parliament showed Van Gool already know to want to torture prisoners. Since then, he goes on the same road by. On the New Right Forum says van Gool "murderers and terrorists" to use as guinea pigs in medical research and "only funny find the death of a human being as it is a left-radical squatter or a Muslim terrorist." In response to the recently broad protest against the hood of a forest in the Limburg Schinveld he fulminates: "I do not mind the army throw the wood flat with Agent Orange. With or without eco-terrorists are still there. "
Van Gool, who claims to be proud of his skin color, sees it as his "moral duty, to maintain my sort by. So will I ever children then get an original European. "Muslims he called" scum "and" sandbox creators. "Women" slettebakjes "with" genotsgrotjes "and" Jewish people in this country need to realize that adjusting to term. " In the period he was active in the musical skinhead movement fell on Gool because of his hatred of gay skins. Also Gool while active on the Internet forum of the radical National Alliance (NA). The NA activist Ben van der Kooi, who for months on remand on suspicion of being in the fire stabbing of a mosque, says the Eindhoven aggrieved party leader: "Hardworking nationalists may also nothing."
Besides Lijstduwer Michiel Smit stand in Eindhoven also Mr. Gabor Heeres (1979) en Ed Hendrich (1940) kandidaat. Both also come actually from Eindhoven. Heeres running nearly two years at the New Right around and was 2004 candidate for the party in Europe. The year before, he supported Michiel Smit all, when he had to participate in the elections with his Conservatieven.nl. Ed Hendrich was in May 2002 a regional candidate of the LPF in the parliamentary elections. He was only in his own district on the list. He was president of the Brabant LPF, but turns into 2003 already switched to the few successful LPF cleavage AVD.
It has yet to join could be strained or New Right at the Eindhoven elections. Of the thirty supporting signatures that need to be returned to the candidate list was New Right there originally ten. For the return of the other New Right was still three days. Then appeared on far-right internet forums as Polinco ' , 'Stormfront Netherlands and Flanders' and 'Holland Hardcore' call to put a signature. These forums are not unknown to the New Right. Michiel Smit himself on 'Stormfront' and 'Polinco "was active under the pseudonym' wooninrotterdam '. In addition, he has 11 oktober 2003 a speech at a closed meeting of Holland Hardcore Forum Members. On this forum, visitors are encouraged with the regularity of clockwork to (glorifying) of racist violence. Placing the call on these sites is clearly successful, because there are finally surrender sufficient signatures. Yet the New Right would not formally participate in the elections. The original candidate number three, Wim Vermeulen (#1), did I withdraw when submitting the list of candidates as candidate. All declarations of support, however, remain his name. In fact, the declarations of support thus not equal to the candidate list and thus invalid. (#2) The principal has failed to characterize as lack making the list can not be rejected on this ground. New Right Eindhoven This approaches the eye of the needle. Incidentally definitely signed 5 current supporters also LPF list 2002 for the parliamentary elections.
Rotterdam
In Rotterdam, home of the New Right, Michiel Smit is obviously party leader. He is the driving force, any councilor and party chairman of the New Right. Such a concentration of power is often seen as undemocratic, and usually avoided in political parties. In addition to the City Council, the New Right is also eligible for the district councils Charlois, Delfshaven, Hillegersberg, Prince Alexander and IJsselmonde. In elections New Right on the right with the necessary competition of Liveable Rotterdam and the National Alliance.
The National Alliance has jokingly M. Smit elected as party leader. By this name confusion, and often similar-positions, the National Alliance a number of votes of the New Right hopes to steal. Apparently Michiel Smit sees this as a serious threat to electoral success. "Actually, we wanted to ensure no election posters with my face, but that we do. So we make it clear to voters that I belong to the New Right.” At the National Alliance is further Florens van der Kooi candidate. A former NNP councilor considerable time New Right fraction employee has been
Smit actually performs with the Rotterdam election a rearguard. His biggest competitor is natural Liveable Rotterdam, waar hij in 2003 was thrown out and even who is heading the polls in a heavy defeat off. In the same polls remains NR stabbing at about half zeteltje.
And even the New Right has a kind of spin-off. Joop van Heijgen, also a former Liveable Rotterdam councilor that some time around the New Right hung has its own list he draws: Rotterdam Transparent. But that also seems quite hopeless.
In the central city are necessary famous faces on the NR candidates. Of course, the singer anti mosque songs Armando Monsanto (1951) which is also party leader in Charlois. En Color “Taxi” Angels (1961) Smit, who for three years following party to action and was pleased with the contact with the Vlaams Blok. He is also party leader in Prince Alexander.
In the supporting signatures for the New Right in both the central city and the district councils also reappear names in. Notable types that sit between his Rinus van den Heerik (1956), Ruud Bruyn (1977) and Ronald London (1951) all course from Rotterdam. Van den Heerik a right slipped fortuynist. Bruyns and Van London are seasoned right extremists who now find shelter with the New Right.
Rinus van den Heerik is a kind of jack of all trades for anything but making Liveable and Pim Fortuyn in Rotterdam. He is committed to the statue of Pim and appears at almost all meetings, commemorations and demonstrations. The mosque fire suspect Ben van der Kooi he visits many lawsuits against Volkert van der G. en in 2003 Van den Heerik can also be seen at various demonstrations NNP. As the Vlaams Blok, who is visiting Rotterdam, whether there should be made a return visit to the Bloc in Flanders he is the party. In april 2005 he brings Liveable Rotterdam discredited as he foldert for them and quarrel with Turkish Labour folderaar same market. In strong terms, he makes it clear that the man was not Turkish may talk to a passerby.
Or Ronald London thinks so on is unknown, but this New Right supporter was also responsible for Janmaat CD 1994. Indeed, London was the 4th candidate in Rotterdam and party leader in Prince. And successfully, want in april 1994 he is councilor for the CD in Rotterdam. For financial reasons, he wants it in 1998 non-renewal. He is afraid that he will deteriorate if he even longer sits on the board. Those fears proved false hope, because the CD loses that year anyway its offices in Rotterdam. Ronald London supports the CD in the following years still twice with a scratch, but without success, the party is looking defunct and the Rotterdam and find a new party New Right.
More drastic Ruud Bruyns who moved from Leiden to Rotterdam. It sounds somewhat bizarre, but within New Right Bruyns perhaps one of the few who knows well where the term comes from the New Right. Indeed, he has been running for some time around the Dutch and Flemish representatives of Nouvelle Droite, as for Post and its affiliated sorority LANS. Meanwhile Voorpost Netherlands came in a different context and become more of an action group for cronies and LANS also no longer exists. However, in the years 2000 en 2001 Bruyns was quite active in these clubs. Including as editor of the LANS-leaf and as a visitor of many Voorpost activities in the Netherlands and Flanders. Bruyns also writes for about five years for the Flemish far-right magazine Delta, whatever new intellectual right again. Probably because of his baggage, he started 2003 as a consultant to the think tank of the New Right and has since also frequent visitor of the New Right actions and meetings.
In May 2004 He is also a speaker at a meeting of the Committee Not Against Turkey, New Right which participates. Along with Alfred Vierling, the well-known former Centre Party executive, he speaks the attendees. When Ruud Bruyns lived in Leiden, he regularly to stick with the anti-fascists who are right-wing posters again removed. He also drew a lot there with Jasper Velzel. Who ran an extreme right record label and was 2002 sentenced by Justice for the possession and distribution of music with racist and Nazi texts.
Ridderkerk
The Ridderkerk department is relatively short. The candidate list of four is led by Martin Dijkhuizen (1974). Dijkhuizen raised in Ridderkerk says one seat after the election to find a nice result. "We have at least four years to prove to us and to ensure that people know where we stand." Following his appearances in the local media, he awakens to want to put in the impression primarily for business as creating more housing and better facilities for young people. On the New Right Forum shows aversion to immigrants and Muslims to be his main motive. Dijkhuizen: "Personally I am in favor of closed borders and everything not hear opzouten home here!!!! Again these people, we need to remove it from our society as soon as possible. How it does not really matter to me as long as they go. "Dijkhuizen has also difficulty that employers are forced" fellow countrymen "to take. "On the other hand, I prefer that they work from the seam at the Lidl as she my sister and my mom rape and rob."
Wesley Manni (1981) as a member of 'Stormfront Netherlands' in 2002 politics rolled and now number two candidate of the New Right Ridderkerk. Stormfront Netherlands was a neo-Nazi activist group that in the period of 2000 tot en met 2002 street actions carried. The group presented himself as a radical alternative to the Dutch People's Union (NVU). In november 1999 they brought anti-Semitic graffiti at a Jewish cemetery in The Hague, for which they are sentenced to short prison sentences. Stormfront Netherlands wanted “unwanted and non-white foreigners be deported system moderately” in denkt “first in the Netherlands will realize the far-right breakthrough.” Ultimately, the organization went prey to internal strife.
Almelo
The New Right Almelo department consists of a number of radicalized LPF'ers, including an old CD-member. Lijstrekker Robin Tolsma (1978) was in 2004 active in the LPF as regional coordinator of the Young Overijssel Fortuynisten. In 2005 he gets along with Ronald Lubach (1966) Harry Olde (1947) over to the New Right. Lubach, number six on the candidate list, was in 2004 chairman of the LPF in Almelo. This department was partly discredited because inviting the above already mentioned Alfred Vierling to speak at a meeting. Vierling was previously involved in the Centre Party, Centre Democrats and Dutch Block. An old warhorse, net als Harry de Olde, candidate number three for New Right. Al in 1978 He was politically active in Overijssel as a candidate for the Peasant Party, en in 1982 for the separation of these Binding Right in Almelo. Many of the Peasant Party may recall a funny game with Boer Cuckoo, but they had a lot of problems with various radical right people that joined. Or Harry Olde there was already belonged is unknown, but in subsequent years, this will be clearly. In the eighties he was the Overijssel executive secretary of the Centre Party, that it is highly controversial. He puts in 1994 a supporting signature for the Centre Democrats (CD). In 2004 he was the treasurer of the LPF in Almelo. His wife G. Olde-Groothuijs has a past with Binding Right and the Centre Party in the eighties. She helps New Right now a signature for participation.
Toekomst
Sinds 2002 Michiel Smit is building to building his political party. According to him, the New Right has over a thousand members. If this is correct then the New Right, the biggest post-war right-wing political party in the Netherlands. This fact is not in proportion to the small number of municipalities in which the New Right to participate in the elections. May indicate a number of members that is significantly lower and the New Right has less capacity than she claims. Or New Right is a large but inefficient, unorganized party? The results of local elections, and the possible participation in the elections for the Lower House here offers more insight into possible.
Terug naar overzicht
(#1) Possible Vermeulen has withdrawn as a candidate not to embarrass the New Right. An Wim Vermeulen from Eindhoven exists with the same birth year as the New Right kandidaatslid. This was in Vermeulen 1986 candidate for the Centre Party in municipal elections in Eindhoven. In the same year he put on the candidate list of the party a supporting signatures for parliamentary elections. On the mailing list for the magazine of the widow of Rost Tonningen, The consortium of Life, stood in 1985 W. Vermeulen from Eindhoven.
(#2) Something similar happened to the LPF in participation in the parliament election 2002. Lijstrekker Fortuijn stood with his false name Fortuyn on the candidate list, that this was not valid. In a few days the LPF had again 30 signatures in the 19 Get constituencies. At various extreme right forums called to place a signature.
