In juni schreven we over Monica Nunes. Nunes was since the March elections 2011 Provincial State member of the Party for Freedom (PVV) in Noord-Holland. Exactly one year later stepped Hero Brinkman from the parliamentary party of the PVV to continue as a going éénpersoonsfractie. This also had consequences for the North Holland States Group, Brinkman was true leader. That group also tore and Monica Nunes decided to follow Hero Brinkman his carve.
It seemed a good time to make a previous political activity Nunes attention: they posted almost 2200 messages on the neo-Nazi Stormfront forum. Read the details of its activities Stormfront us vorige artikel.
The publication of its reports on Stormfront would have consequences for the position of Monica Nunes was to be expected. Especially when the article was also picked up in the regional press. But it took an unexpected turn when Nunes about the same time as the publication of the article was arguing with Hero Brinkman and is again split off its new game. The article was then a part of a special dynamic.
Nunes responded across several media fairly quickly to the publication. Maybe a little too fast. For they came up with a series of improbable excuses. They claimed that they had not placed any messages itself Stormfront. They argued among other things that a published travel by herself, was not posted by her. She had apparently not thought that that statement would call on the question of who then could have a more private Nunes and why the hell those that photo was published under her name. Nunes further claimed that "others" on Stormfront had adjusted its messages at a later time to turn her lurking. And as icing on the cake, they came up with the suggestion that Hero Brinkman would sit behind the publication. Besides these comments to journalists Nunes also responded via Twitter. That reaction was even more miserable as possible. She wanted herself exonerated of any anti-Semitic messages from her hand, but did so by invoking the classic anti-Semitic stereotype of Jews and money: "I put that Jews have money and a good nose for business. This is why Hitler hated Jews. Is just good quality. "
Eventually the unrest around Nunes' Stormfront membership was a final in the meeting of the Provincial Council. The VVD was added as an agenda item. In that meeting Nunes reiterated the claim that she had not placed any messages and other messages were faked. nonsense of course. But the meeting degenerated, especially in a big party mudslinging between Nunes and Brinkman (1). Brinkman denied turn involvement in the unrest, According to him, the VVD was behind it and there was a 'PVV-mole' in his group.
All in all you could say that created the publication clarify the position and the political ideas of Monica Nunes. You could say it is a shame that the LPF no longer exists. For a politician who is so by basket with a far-right background, lies, deception and verbal abuse and paranoid accusations against former party members would obviously be fine in that party have passed. Now Nunes in that regard happiness. One of the last remaining LPF splits in Netherlands, the game Forza!, is precisely in its active region. It is not surprising that they are there now has joined.
