The Dutch center-right Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) was facing internal backlash Thursday from members concerned about its decision to hold coalition talks that involve Geert Wilders' Islamophobic party. A manifesto released by the group argued against a minority coalition made up of the CDA and the People's Party for Freedom (VVD) that would rely on the votes of Wilders' Party for Freedom (PVV), although it would not be a formal part of the new government.June's election was indecisive, leaving no party with an outright majority and even the two largest centre-right parties without enough seats to form a stable coalition.The manifesto, titled "We stand up for our basic rights," was initiated by 44 CDA activists who are now hoping to receive broad support from their party. They include delegates, professors and local politicians.
