Organisation: Forum voor Democratie (FvD) is a national political party in the Netherlands, part of no eu political group.

You can reach them here:

The FvD was initially introduced as a liberal-conservative party. Based on liberal free-market ideas, the FvD was considered an "academic" alternative for the PVV. The party was presented as a nostalgic, liberal, anti-multicultural and anti-EU party. It glorified the colonial past and past scientific and cultural achievements, making it a nationalistic party. It combines wanting less regulations with more protection for national companies. The party has always been anti-EU and wants an exit of the Netherlands from it. It considers climate change to be a hoax, wanting to reverse environmental policies. During and after the COVID-19 crisis, its alt-right tendencies grew considerably and it started spreading conspiracy theories about COVID-19, the economy, and the war in Ukraine. It is pro-Russia and pro-Israel. It is similar to Hungary's Fidesz and the right wing of the US Republican Party.
