“If there is another option, I will join. As long as a debate can take place in a way in which Mr Wilders can feel safe,” Yeşilgöz said on Friday evening in Café Kockelmann of WNL.
Wilders reported on Friday that he was suspending his campaign for the time being, after it became known that he too would be the target of an attack by Belgian jihadists. On X he writes that he has “a bad feeling” about it.
Yeşilgöz thinks it is “absolutely not in keeping with our democracy” that Wilders has to miss the debate because of his safety. Earlier today, Wilders was absent from the debate on NPO Radio 1. “You want to be able to debate with each other in freedom. I honestly hope that we will just do that this weekend,” says the VVD party leader.
