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.

De Nederlandse Volksunie (NVU) wordt in 1971 door Guus Looy opgericht als één van de diverse naoorlogse pogingen om eerherstel voor oorlogsmisdadigers te verkrijgen.

This report is a report on anti-Semitism, racism and right-wing extremist violence in the Netherlands in the year 2015, and developments with respect to previous years. The report has been made on behalf of Anne Frank. The Anne Frank Foundation manages the Anne Frank house and brings her life story to the attention to reflect on the dangers of anti-Semitism, racisme en discriminatie en het belang van vrijheid, equal rights and democracy. The foundation proposes to provide, inter alia, aim to provide information and educational activities about discrimination and human rights, ter bevordering van het goed functioneren van een open, pluriforme, democratische samenleving.

Furthermore, it serves as periodic reporting to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OVSE) en de Europese Unie (EU).
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-

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

This is the report of an investigation into the identity of Lonsdale youth in the municipality Werkendam. Following this study, the structural problems of discrimination and right-wing utterances by young people from this town. The study was developed in collaboration with Bureau Discriminatiezaken Central and West Brabant and Palette, support center for multicultural development in North Brabant. The study sought to understand the identity of Lonsdale youth. Identity is constructed in different ways and by different stakeholders. It consists of ascriptive and zelfascriptieve aspects, that is to say, the identity which people attach respectively to others and to itself. In this study both aspects have been examined. For this, a qualitative study was conducted, in which use is made of data-triangulation. Data obtained from documents, observations and interviews are combined used to answer the research question.
There are a total 66 newspaper articles analyzed to investigate what image newspapers have the identity of Lonsdale youth. It has emerged that the newspapers construct a stereotype of Lonsdalers, being adapted in more extreme or more moderate sentence depends on the social context. The stereotype is that Lonsdale youth have negative views about immigrants and that they feel threatened by them. In addition, the Lonsdalers attributed extreme right nationalist sympathies and feelings.
CIDI include Kafka seven reports issued by a cast Hitler salute. The Region Amsterdam Police reports that in May a boy brings the Hitler salute and thereby "Heil" calls towards the Anne Frank House. The same boy brings later (o.a. at Gay Monument, Dam) again a number of times the Hitler salute. The boy is part of a group which is maintained as a whole. Op 4 May, called during the commemoration in a Frisian village in a youth center "Heil Hitler".

The problem of racist and extremist manifestations among young people in the year 2004 and especially after the murder of Theo van Gogh - 2 november 2004 - Boomed. In the first few months of 2005 have called Lonsdale youth stood almost daily in the media interest. It is a well-known, but to a much lesser extent known phenomenon: many questions to nature, extent and dynamics must be left with no answer.
About the name 'Lonsdale youth' has been much to do. Lonsdale is a British clothing brand that is popular among ravers, even those with extreme right, racist orientation. These cronies commit their clothing brands - not just Lonsdale, but also Pitbull and Hooligan - often wear flashy, so that these brands will act as an external characteristic of these young people. Extreme right, racist cronies were then apparently become so iconic that a reversal has occurred: with 'Lonsdale youth' were not so gradually youth indicated that Lonsdale wear, but the extreme right, racist young ones. Given the seriousness and extent of incidents which these young people attracted attention is the contagion understandable. The well-known sociologist Goffman would speak of "a spoiled identity '. As a result, many young people, however, are also affected wrongly, to say nothing of the clothing brand Lonsdale, that can not be held responsible for abuses of those who wear Lonsdale, making the brand has acquired a negative stigma. Some are of the opinion that therefore should rest a taboo on the name Lonsdale youth. There's something to be said, but negative imaging is to influence our mind and not simply to conceal by giving it another name. We expect that the name Lonsdale youth of limited duration will be, though it is now impossible to foresee exactly when the expiration date has expired.

The Monitoring racism and the extreme right seeks various forms of racism, extreme right and discrimination - as well as response to these phenomena - to monitor and issue periodic reports. The initiative for this project is mid-nineties adopted by the Leiden University.
Since the fourth report, the monitoring project is run jointly by Leiden University and the Anne Frank Foundation. The usefulness of periodic monitoring report is diverse. It is based on a fixed yardstick 'the balance of the principal manifestations and incidents of racial discrimination, racism and right-wing extremism, and the development of strategies to combat. The reports are politicians, directors and representatives of civil society put in a position to reflect on the problems and come to solving strategies. The reports can contribute by their systematic and periodic character of accumulation of knowledge and understanding. It will also provide insight into developments that occur in the longer term. That applies not only to the recent period but also for the future. The monitor can also contribute to early identification of relevant, new developments. Finally, the report could be helpful in answering the numerous practical questions on this subject from
within- or abroad are made.

In the fifth reporting Monitoring racism and the extreme right are the years 2001 and - where possible - 2002 central. The attacks on the United States 11 september 2001 and the murder of Pim Fortuyn 6 May 2002 have had a significant impact on the overall picture of this reporting period. Both events have left deep marks on the interethnic relations in the Netherlands. These traces can be found in the fifth reporting. It is questions like: increases or decreases the number of racist violence in Netherlands? Which right-wing political parties have disappeared and which come in its place? The number of discrimination cases that reaches the public prosecutor or decreases? And what be provided there for business and to what extent that lead to convictions? The initiative for the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right is the mid-nineties taken by the Leiden University. The monitoring project is now jointly conducted by Leiden University and the Anne Frank. This report was made possible with support from the Management Integration and Coordination Minorities of the Ministry of Justice.

Is there in our country evidence of increasing or decreasing racial violence? How is it with the tolerance in the Netherlands? Has the local policy against discrimination catering success or keep the number of complaints? To answer these questions it is important that research is conducted to periodically monitor the manifestations of racial discrimination and extreme right. This interest is mid-nineties recognized by the University of Leiden and there is the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right developed. Currently the project is implemented by the Leiden University in cooperation with the Anne Frank Foundation and with support from the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Research Monitor is an internationally recognized tool for the detection of racism and discrimination, and developing policies against. In 1999 was in Vienna the European Monitoring Centre on Racism

2.1 Extreme right
In the Netherlands, one can distinguish two extreme right-wing phenomena. First, there is the so-called civil extreme right ', whose representatives preach ultra-nationalist and at least xenophobic ideas.
Of a different order are the more radical 'neo-Nazi' groups, which unadulterated anti-democratic and racist attitudes honor. Between both directions, moreover, is sometimes a degree of cross-fertilization.
Extreme right-wing groups of the first category have not had a chance last year to return to the political scene. The mid-term elections in Utrecht Dutch Blok lost its only seat, causing extreme right lost the last representative of an elected body. The various parties have, however, already go warm up in the last year
for the municipal- and parliamentary elections 2002 and try to present their ideas more. From Centrumdemocraten (CD) they mainly sought to gain influence at local level. Here they played in local dissatisfaction with government policies biased by sending letters to random citizens.

The Extreme Right has always been weak and fragmented in the Netherlands. It lacked an
ideological tradition as well as a solid social base. A landowning aristocracy no longer played
a significant role in Dutch politics in the nineteenth century – power had shifted to a patrician
bourgeoisie already in the Dutch Republic (1588-1795). Moreover, the Dutch did not have to
deal with a national question that could have given rise to a nationalist movement with
extremist tendencies. It is true, reactionary anti-democratic forces did emerge in the late
nineteenth century, but they were divided between Liberal, Catholic and Calvinist parties.
Only has survived until today, the Reformed State Party (Reformed Political Party ,
SGP). This party has come to accept democracy in practice, but not in theory. It would like to
replace universal suffrage by ‘organic suffrage’, I.E. give the right to vote only to (male)
heads of households.3 However, it is not a nationalist, racist or xenophobic party.4 Since 1925
it has occupied two or three seats in parliament.
Extreme right was in the elections 1998 almost completely wiped out.
After the local extreme right shows yet 2 of the 88 seats
having maintained: 1 for the CD in Rotterdam Schiedam and 1 for the
Dutch Block in Utrecht. In the parliamentary elections of May lose
only representative of the extreme right, the Centre Democrats are three
seats. This does not mean that all known far-right organizations
overview of 1998 still exist and – some more than others – active
zijn, except CP'86 in November 1998 was banned.
Dr. J. Donselaar goes into its third monitoring report published this month
elaborate on the map of the extreme right in the Netherlands. Far-right
parties are the Centre Democrats, de Nieuwe Nationale Partij (NNP) and
Nederlands Blok, De CD nam in 1999 the European elections with
a combined list: CD / Conservative Democrats. Conservative
Democrats was an attempt by CD leader Janmaat to a new name
CD again to revive. The NNP is trying to "clean’ extreme right

then arose after the schism within CP'86 extreme right threatened to set

2.1 Extreme right
The far right has been able to not revenge for the big election defeats 1998. In the elections for the Provincial Council in March did the Centre Democrats (CD) participate in South Holland and North Holland, while participating in Utrecht Dutch Block. For both parties had no seat reserved. The CD incidentally sought, as well as a new right-wing splinter group, de Nieuwe Nationale Partij (NNP), yarn spinning with the events in the Frisian Kollum (the murder of a young resident of Kollum and its aftermath). Due to agitate against the Dutch asylum policy would spread both CD and NNP their ideas, in which they tried in Kollum play on the local resistance among the population against the establishment of an asylum center.
De Nederlandse Volksunie (NVU) violated more international out. It has in 1999 regularly participated in demonstrations and gatherings of sympathizers in Belgium and Germany. German neo-Nazis in turn were a guest at a march of NCE in Valkenburg, where the death of Rudolf Hess was commemorated.

The far-right parties lose at the municipal
maart 1998 almost all their seats. Rotterdam reserves the CD 1 Headquarters and
Utrecht is one seat to Dutch Block. From Centrumdemocraten
Attractions 25 municipalities participate in municipal elections. In 1994 did
de CD in 45 municipalities, and then took 77 seats. These seats were not
all occupied; moreover lost in that period the CD also seats because members
switched to other parties or founded their own group.
Although the political power of the extreme right is negligible, do
several members of the parties in 1977 to speak. Still
it is mainly the foreigners who suffer. Occasionally there are
anti-Semitic statements made. Because extreme right Nazi ideology
wants to convey, A number of issues still included below.
Disturbing is the use of the Internet by far-right groups in
Abroad. In the Netherlands, racist remarks are indeed prohibited,
but as long as that in other countries is also the case, it is difficult to
foreign sites, which foreign racists offer their "stuff", op
act.
One of the people from this angle that does not mince words, is
Constant Kusters. CIDI put a number of criminal cases against him in motion.

This is the first report of the project Monitoring racism and the extreme right that was commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior. Under 'racism’ are also understood: antisemitisme, rasvooroordeel, Xenophobia, xenophobia en rasdiscriminatie. The monitor works are not exclusively focused on racist, but also to combat these phenomena.
The project has two objectives:
1. Permanent monitoring of racism and anti-racism
2. periodic reporting on the key findings
The utility of periodic reporting has many. Annually took stock based on a fixed pattern of the main manifestations of racism and right-wing extremism, and the development of strategies to combat. The reports can contribute by their systematic and periodic character of accumulation of knowledge and insights. It provides insight into developments that occur in the longer term. This applies not only to the past period but also the future.
The monitor can contribute to early identification of relevant, new developments.
The overall research question is:
1. How are expressions of (racist) right-wing extremism (in Nederland) developed?
2. which patterns of response have been there?
