"Now It Is Our Turn": Freedom Party's Geert Wilders Calls for Dutch Referendum

Thursday, June 23, 2016, will go down in history as Britain’s Independence Day. The Europhile elite has been defeated. Britain points Europe the way to the future and to liberation. It is time for a new start, relying on our own strength and sovereignty. Also in the Netherlands.

A recent survey (EenVandaag, Dutch television) shows that a majority of the Dutch want a referendum on EU membership. It also shows that more Dutch are in favour of exit than of remaining in the EU.

The Dutch people deserve a referendum as well. The Party for Freedom consequently demands a referendum on NExit, a Dutch EU exit.

As quickly as possible the Dutch need to get the opportunity to have their say about Dutch membership of the European Union.

Geert Wilders: “We want be in charge of our own country, our own money, our own borders, and our own immigration policy. If I become prime minister, there will be a referendum in the Netherlands on leaving the European Union as well. Let the Dutch people decide.”

Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right Front National (FN) in France

"Victory for freedom! As I have been asking for years, now we need to have the same referendum in France and in the countries of the EU."

Marion Marechal Le Pen, French FN politician

"From #Brexit to #Frexit: It's now time to import democracy to our country. The French must have the right to choose!"

Mateo Salvini, leader of Italy's anti-immigration Northern League

"Hurrah for the courage of free citizens! Heart, brain and pride defeated lies, threats and blackmail.

"THANK YOU UK, now it's our turn."

Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German Foreign Minister

"The news from Britain is really sobering. It looks like a sad day for Europe and Britain."



Sigmar Gabriel, German Vice-Chancellor

"Damn! A bad day for Europe."



Anton Boerner, head of Germany's foreign trade association

"That is a catastrophic result for Britain and also for Europe and Germany, especially the German economy. It is disturbing that the oldest democracy in the world turns its back on us."
