Geert Wilders

What strikes me about Geert Wilders is the longevity of his conviction, whatever you make of its content. Founding the Party for Freedom and steering it for nearly two decades takes a relentlessness most politicians never sustain. I find it telling that he grew up in Venlo, hard against the Dutch border in Limburg, where the question of who belongs is lived rather than abstract. I don't share his politics, but as an editor I'm interested in figures who stand at the eye of permanent controversy and refuse to blink. His side career in screenwriting and directing only deepens the puzzle of the man.
