A speech made by the leader of the Holland’s far-right Freedom Party has caused a rift among its members, according to Dutch media reports.<br /><br />Earlier in the week, Geert Wilders encouraged followers to chant racist slogans against Moroccans.<br /><br />He addressed the meeting:<br />“So I ask what do you want in this city more or fewer Moroccans?”<br /><br />“Fewer,” the crowd chanted.<br /><br />His comments were also promoted on the Freedom Party website. They have triggered indignation among politicians and immigrant groups.<br /><br />In response, young Moroccans have launched a social media campaign called ‘born here’ in which they post pictures of themselves alongside their Dutch passports.<br /><br />Meanwhile, last November, the populist leader purportedly struck a deal with his French counterpart, Marine Le Pen.<br /><br />Their aim is reportedly to bring down the European Parliament from within.<br /><br />Together, they are expected to seek to exploit the euroscepticism soaring across the EU ahead of the European elections in May.
