The Dutch news agency ANP reported that Prime minister Mark Rutte continued to distance himself from condemning the Geert Wilders PVV's controversial website on Thursday, despite a large majority vote in the European parliament in favor of a motion branding the website 'discriminatory and malicious'.
In the meantime PVV parliamentarian Hero Brinkman said his party would not provide information to the Government as to who its donors or financial contributors are. Dutch law requires disclosure by every political party of the names of people, corporations, or other entities who have paid more than euro 4500.00 into the party coffers, or risk paying a fine of euro 25.000.00 . Brinkman twittered today the party would present their "annual report" as usual.
