A majority in the lower house of the Dutch parliament wants the Netherlands to follow the United States’ lead and designate the far-left Antifa movement as a terrorist organization. A motion to that effect by Lidewij de Vos (FvD), Caroline van der Plas (BBB), and Geert Wilders (PVV) was passed with the support of the VVD, SGP, and JA21.

    It was voted for by 6 parties, all of which are considered right wing.

    • PVV (right wing anti immigration party)
    • VVD (fiscal conservative right wing party)
    • BBB (conservative farmers’ lobby party)
    • SGP (right wing conservative christian party)
    • FvD (right wing QAnon-type conspiracy party)
    • JA21 (split-off of FVD)

    You could of course argue that this means the center has shifted, and some of these should be considered center. Personally I think it’s just that immigration has been the dominant theme for decades now, and therefor people who would benefit from left-wing economics, now vote extreme right. I don’t think that makes them or anybody else a center.
