The Public Prosecution Service said on Monday that it does not consider a statement left-wing party leader Frans Timmermans made about far-right leader Geert Wilders to be criminally punishable. The GroenLinks-PvdA leader said, "We will stop at nothing to prevent Wilders from coming to power in this country."The PVV leader argued that this suggests violence would also be an appropriate method to prevent Wilders from rising to a powerful position in the Netherlands. Wilders then pressed charges with the police.
PVV leader Geert Wilders refused to back down from his accusation that GroenLinks-PvdA leader Frans Timmermans was guilty of inciting violence against Wilders. The allegation stems from a speech Timmermans gave to party members on Saturday.
