Wilders emphasizes again: I don't know whether PVV supports EU defense plan

The largest coalition party, the PVV, still does not know whether it is in favor of the European plans for strengthening defense. The prime minister will have "total freedom" in the consultation on the plans of the European Commission, but "the PVV does not automatically vote in favor," said PVV leader Geert Wilders in the House of Representatives on Tuesday about the upcoming EU summit where rearmament will be discussed again.

The resistance of Joost Eerdmans, Pieter Omtzigt and Geert Wilders to eurobonds and defense plans echoes a long tradition. Times have changed, however.
