Video transcript:

00:02   Over the years, I have always been to meetings,
00:07   organized evening meetings, public inquiry meetings, where people complain over the fact
00:11   that their village, it is often a village, now it is Kijkduin in the Hague, is flooded —
00:15   often without any participation or municipal council debate or whatever —
00:19   with asylum seekers, who are here living the life in rooms with big televisions…
00:26   with a swimming pool, free food, drinks, heating. Which a lot of Dutch people don’t have.
00:30   They wish they could have it for free.
00:33   So, yes, the people there think about that: How is that possible?
00:36   And why is that happening in my country? We need to change that quickly. And that’s why I’m here.
00:39   Earlier you said at such meetings: “If the PVV has any say, then no more asylum-seekers will come”.
00:45   Do you repeat that now? —No. You get to decide.
00:48   Then no more asylum-seekers will come? —I never said that. But of course,
00:51   if the PVV gains any influence over national governance,
00:54   then for us that will be, in any case, number one on the agenda, the reversal of the stream
00:57   of asylum seekers in the Netherlands and… —So no more stopping of asylum, you say?
01:01   As far as I’m concerned, a halt to asylum. But you have to do it with others.
01:04   So the closer it gets to an asylum halt — and as far as I’m concerned, an asylum halt — the better.
