Wilders can't handle critique: Complains about "Witch-Hunt"

Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders considers that the media is paying excessive attention to the pasts of his MPs. He said Friday after new revelations and rumours that he is "sick and tired" of it.

"The media's digging into the past of PVV MPs is now beginning to look like a cheap witch-hunt. I will not go along with this. I will of course tackle cases where PVV MPs have made mistakes, but the hyped-up media can just go into the deep freeze for now, as far as I am concerned. I want calm to return and will therefore no longer react to every incident."

De Volkskrant reported Friday that PVV MP Eric Lucassen has been pursued by legal bailiffs for seven years due to payment arrears and failure to comply with financial obligations. He is also said to be registered at social benefit administrator UWV as a basic benefit recipient.
