Type de matériel :
15
The accession of Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party (PVV) to government is a turning point in a traditionally democratic and multicultural country. The PVV has thrived on the social identity crisis the Netherlands seems to be undergoing. The difficult integration of Muslim populations, as well as the increasing rift between Dutch and European policy, have only weakened the democratic pact and increased wariness towards the country’s traditional political parties.
