It was formed in 2006 and exists solely to represent the interests of its maverick leader Geert Wilders who was once an MP for the VVD (free market Liberals) but left to form his own party. In the June 2009 European parliamentary elections, the PvV seized 15 per cent of the vote and four seats in the European parliament. Wilders is well known for his anti-immigration and Islamophobic views and for regularly denouncing Islam, which he describes as a totalitarian religion akin to fascism. He also wants the Qur'an, which he compares to Mein Kampf, banned and for an end to immigration from the Muslim world. [3] The poll was commissioned by the current affairs TV programme Netwerk in response to Wilders' European election success. 57 per cent of the 319 Dutch citizens of Turkish and Moroccan origin interviewed said they felt less welcome in the Netherlands; 51 per cent said they were judged more negatively since the rise of Wilders and four out of ten reported an increase in discrimination. In addition, research carried out by the Nicis-Institute based on 225 questionnaires, sent to Dutch citizens of Turkish, Moroccan and Surinamese origin living in Rotterdam, also indicated that young people of migrant origin did not feel welcome in the city. [4] The controversial video Fitna is a 17-minute internet film in which Wilders repeats his call for a ban on the 'criminal' Qur'an on the grounds that it encourages terrorism. It juxtaposes selected quotes from the Qur'an with media clips and newspaper reports which purportedly show or describe acts of violence and hatred by Muslims. Wilders has evaded prosecution in the Netherlands on charges of incitement to racial hatred on the grounds that while Fitna is offensive to Muslims, its critique was limited to Islam as a religion. In February 2009, Wilders, who was due to screen Fitna in the House of Lords at the invitation of Lord Pearson of the United Kingdom Independence Party, was denied entry to the UK.The Institute of Race Relations is currently conducting a two-year research project on 'Alternative Voices on Integration' funded by the Network of European Foundations (European Programme on Integration and Migration).
