Vicky Maeijer is a Member of the European Parliament for the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV), the party of Geert Wilders.
Earlier today Ms. Maeijer gave the following speech on the floor of the EP.
00:08 Last weekend Mr. Juncker couldn’t resist praising Fidel Castro as a hero for many.
00:15 The sympathy the EU has for dictators is significant.
00:22 Under EU leadership the union morphs into a dictatorship without room for aberrant opinions.
00:25 Freedom of speech only applies if you say something the politically correct want to hear.
00:30 That’s the elites in Brussels shining today.
00:35 Denouncing unwanted opinions as racism, xenophobia or islamophobia.
00:41 Nothing is spared to silence the opposition. The elites of Brussels
00:45 continue to tar patriots as extremists,
00:50 equate criticism of the flood of refugees as hatred.
00:53 But chairman, you explain to the millions of voters what is racist
00:57 about protecting your country against islamic terrorists, against illegal immigration.
01:03 What’s wrong with defending your country, your own people?
01:06 Chairman, also in The Netherlands we see that in a political trial the elites
01:10 assault freedom of speech. In a way that befits Turkey.
01:15 My own party leader, the leader of the Dutch opposition, Geert Wilders must defend
01:19 in court what millions of Dutch think.
01:23 Chairman, he won’t be gagged. We won’t be gagged.
01:27 For the time of politically correct looking the other way is over.
01:31 Everywhere citizens are showing that they are fed up with it.
01:34 We are stronger than this politically correct ‘down with us!’ mentality.
01:39 Stronger than this cultural relativism. We are stronger than the political elites.
01:42 Thank you.
