📣 Nieuwe column voor @groene.nl. Deze week over het fenomeen "pinkwashing": het strategisch verpakken van extreemrechtse politiek in een feminien jasje. 👇
De aanwezigheid van vrouwen binnen extreem-rechtse partijen helpt beschuldigingen van misogynie af te weren, terwijl de kern van hun ideologie onverminderd patriarchaal blijft.
Vrouwen spelen binnen extreem-rechts een steeds zichtbaarder rol

Visualized here. Hot tip for journalists: the real question isn’t why Wilders lost, but why the far right has consolidated — despite Wilders's ineffectiveness in government.

Met zojuist de uitslagen van Amsterdam toegevoegd, staat D66 ongeveer 15.000 stemmen voor op de PVV in de tussenstand met 99,7% van de stemmen geteld. Ik kan me niet indenken dat dit verschil nog overbrugd wordt met de laatste uitslagen. Dat betekent dat D66 de grootste partij is in stemmenaantal.

Why “the center wins” or “the center beats the far right” is the wrong way of looking at the Dutch election outcome…
The narrative seems to be(come) that the Dutch election shows a “comeback of the political center”. We have seen this frame before, implying “the center” has an ideological substance and is stable. But “the center” keeps moving right on mostly nativist, but also often authoritarian, issues.

My favourite thing about NL elections (cos lets be honest its never the result that is my favourite the last years) is seeing colleagues doing their thing! e.g. @sldelange.bsky.social @tomwgvdmeer.bsky.social on the live broadcast, also all the colleagues I know are behind the scenes!

Anti-immigration demonstration in the Netherlands escalates. This is exactly what happens when far-right ideas are tolerated and normalised over an extended period of time. The far right gains confidence and grows, both at the ballot box and in the streets.

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Asking Baudet about this really really REALLY annoys me. Diversity of views? I'm sorry but when you set up a hotline to intimidate scholars by encouraging students to video them and report them for being left-wing, you should not be being treated as an 'expert' to quote on this matter.
