The Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen has told the Dutch news agency ANP that the Netherlands UK ambassador PIeter Willem Waldeck will be at London airport to assist the controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders who is travelling to Great Britain in spite of a decision by the British government to refuse him entry. The British authorities have said that Wilders is not welcome because his outspoken views on the Muslim faith could lead to unrest, according to NRC Handelsblad.
Wilders had been invited by a member of the House of Lords to show his short film Fitna. The British refusal to deny entry to a Dutch member of parliament has been condemned by Dutch political parties. Maxime Verhagen appealed to the British government to reconsider its decision.
