The Dutch parliament and the Hungarian government are moving to designate the far-left group Antifa as a terrorist organization, aligning themselves with the decision earlier this week by U.S. President Donald Trump. The move aims to curb escalating political violence across Europe and North America linked to Antifa networks.
In The Hague, lawmakers approved a motion presented by Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV). Wilders argued that Antifa cells are already active in the Netherlands, pointing to incidents in which conservative politicians, students, and journalists have been threatened, harassed, or physically assaulted.
According to Wilders, the group’s activities go beyond street protests and are aimed at silencing dissenting voices. The Dutch government must now respond formally and decide whether to proceed with the terrorist classification, which would broaden police powers for surveillance and prosecution.
