Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders revealed his detailed blueprint to “take back the Netherlands” during a fiery speech at the CPAC Hungary conference on Saturday, declaring that a PVV-led government would immediately repatriate 60,000 Syrian refugees and expel every foreign national with a criminal record.
Geert Wilders reveals his plan to take back the Netherlands in a Speech in Hungary. “First, we will return 60,000 Syrian refugees to Syria immediately. We want all foreign criminals deported from the Netherlands.”
Speaking to a packed auditorium of conservative activists from across Europe, the platinum-haired politician outlined what he called “Operation Clean Sweep”, a 100-day action plan that would begin the moment his Party for Freedom forms the next coalition. “First, we will return 60,000 Syrian refugees to Syria immediately.
The war is over, Damascus is safe, President Assad has invited them back, and Dutch taxpayers will no longer foot the bill,” Wilders thundered as the crowd rose in standing ovation.
He continued by promising the largest deportation drive in modern Dutch history. “We want all foreign criminals deported from the Netherlands. No more Somalian street terrorists, no more Romanian pickpockets, no more asylum seekers who rape our daughters. One crime and you are on the next plane home, even if we have to charter the planes ourselves,” he said, drawing loud chants of “Geert! Geert!” from Hungarian and Polish delegates.
Wilders claimed that internal Ministry of Justice figures show more than 28,000 non-Western immigrants currently have criminal convictions or are under active investigation.
He pledged to strip them of their residency permits within weeks and place them in detention centres near Schiphol Airport before mass charter flights begin in March 2026.
The PVV leader also announced plans to reintroduce border controls with Belgium and Germany from day one, copy Denmark’s jewellery law that allows confiscation of valuables from new arrivals, and withdraw from the EU relocation quota system entirely. “We will declare the Netherlands as the first European country to nullify the migration pact,” he declared.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who hosted the event, embraced Wilders onstage and praised him as “the next Dutch prime minister who will finally put his own people first.”
Orbán promised logistical support, including the use of Budapest airport for return flights if Brussels tries to block departures from Amsterdam.
Outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte called the proposals “legally impossible and morally shameful”, while GreenLeft leader Jesse Klaver accused Wilders of “openly preaching ethnic cleansing”.
Yet polls published by EenVandaag show 58 per cent of Dutch voters now support mandatory repatriation of Syrians whose asylum claims were based on the civil war.
Wilders concluded his Budapest address by holding up a mock Dutch passport stamped “Property of the Dutch People: Not for Sale”.
As he left the stage to the sound of cheering crowds and camera flashes, one message was clear: the man who has spent twenty years warning about “Islamisation” now believes his moment to fundamentally reshape the Netherlands has finally arrived.
