A Dutch Member of Parliament for the populist Forum voor Democratie (FvD, “Forum for Democracy”) has issued a warning that mass Third World immigration is causing the replacement of the Dutch people in a process that, left unchecked, will lead to the “replacement of the Dutch population.”
The immediate outcry that followed his use of that term did not deter Gideon van Meijeren, who then doubled down on his warning, issued during the Dutch parliament’s debate on the Asylum and Migration Budget in The Hague.
Meijeren defended the term as a factual description of the demographic shifts caused by mass immigration and refused to take back his words.
Citing official statistics, he pointed out that since 2000, the population of the Netherlands had increased by more than 2 million people, of whom at least 95 percent have a “migration background”—the Dutch establishment’s code word for Third World. He went on to describe the trends as a “deliberate demographic transformation.”
