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.

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.
