Spy in the PVV (Wilders' Party)?

[mcsam]

Apparently Wilders has received a letter from the AIVD (Dutch inelligence agency), warning him that one of his party members, Markuszower, has been passing information to foreign powers. Most likely, according to undisclosed sources, to the Mossad.

Gidi Markuszower is the number 5 member on the party list, and therefore he was likely to become member of parliament in the coming election. He has also been arrested for gun possession recently, he wasn't charged. He is member of several Dutch Jewish organisations. He denies the allegations.

PVV'er away after warning AIVD

Update: Saturday, May 22, 2010, 15:34

PVV Gidi Markuszower candidate has withdrawn because the AIVD warned that he was a risk to the integrity of the Netherlands. NRC Handelsblad writes that PVV leader Geert Wilders had received a letter about that.

The NRC acknowledges that Markuszower the letter was the reason for his departure. It said inter alia that he was involved in the transfer of "information to foreign powers."
Contact

The letter also states that that he had contact with employees of foreign intelligence. The letter gives no details on the countries concerned. The NRC says that sources suggest "that goes to Israel and the Mossad".

Markuszower calls the accusations "absurd" that he was difficult to defend against. In the interest of the Freedom Party, he has therefore withdrawn from the list of candidates.

"I was on April 24 by Wilders informed about the insinuations," said Markuszower in the newspaper. "It was my decision to retire me. I realized that these things - even when they are untruthful - much could harm the party."
Closed

Markuszower was number five on the list. He soon came negative press. The candidate MP, who was involved in the Jewish organization Likud Netherlands, was to celebrate the sixtieth existence of Israel in Amsterdam arrested for carrying a firearm.

Markuszower was time saver from an organization that monitors synagogues and Jewish feasts. The case was dismissed by the judiciary.

The candidate MP was further compromised by his plea for critical life-Jews from the Jewish community in exile.

Upon his departure had Markuszower in a statement is "not senang" to feel "constantly under a magnifying glass to be negative.
Evidence

Markuszower says a court to consider. "Does the State of the Netherlands does prove that my actions against the interests of that state run, they have to tough prosecutions. But while the evidence for this lack, I'm considering a libel or defamation trial, perhaps with compensation."

Yet he is glad that the true reason for his departure now above table. "I am relieved now that the truth comes out. Now is not the issue as a sword of Damocles over my head."

The Hague, May 22 PVV candidate Markuszower Gidi last month has withdrawn from the electoral list for the elections after resigning Minister Hirsch Ballin (Interior, CDA) a letter with incriminating information about him to the party leader Geert Wilders had sent. The information came from the intelligence service AIVD. That have sources in The Hague confirmed.


Also Markuszower himself acknowledges in an interview with NRC Handelsblad that the AIVD letter was the reason he left. The letter Markuszower (32) as a "risk to the integrity" of labeled Netherlands. He would have been involved in an organization that "information has been transferred to" a foreign power. " Also according to the letter he had contact with employees of a foreign intelligence service. The letter gives no details but sources suggest that it is Israel and the Mossad.

Negative

After the presentation of the candidates came Markuszower, who stood in fifth place last month in negative news. For example, a private mail from the Amsterdam businessman published which he stated that Jews who publicly criticize Israeli actions in the Gaza War, the Jewish community should be banned. In the same week it was announced two years ago he was arrested for carrying a firearm.

Interview with MarkuszowerLees an interview with NRC Handelsblad Markuszower today or in the digital edition (subscribers only). Markuszower withdrew as a candidate. In a statement, he is "not senang" to feel "constantly under a magnifying glass to be negative." Markuszower now says that the letter was real reason. He calls the accusations "absurd" its "in the interest of the party" has retired. He is considering a libel action against the State as the "insinuations" in the "malicious letter" can not be substantiated. According to him there was no proof. Interior will not take up the matter. Wilders also will not respond.

o.O what kind of information would he even have thats worth being a spy? "ISRAEL, WILDERS INFORMS ME HES GOING TO MAKE A POLICY CHANGE!"

Regular james bond.

[Atlassmurf]

So yes, spy on them.

EDIT: Senno, keep your fingers of my post.

He's an extremly pro-Israel and anti-Muslim guy and there's a chance that he will become a major player in Dutch politics so the inner workings of his party can be of interest to Israel.

That, or Gidi thinks that that is the case and is doing it anyway.

This isn't exactly the first time the PVV was ''infiltrated'' by a ''spy.'' A journalist from a left wing newspaper joined the PVV to show how incredibly poor the defence of Wilders is; she was able to join, even though simply googling her name would prove that she is working for a newspaper that is openly against the PVV.

Seems a lot like a smear campaign to me.

[Dr. Croccer]

Seems a lot like a smear campaign to me.

The PVV does a very good job at that themselves. One of the main members of the party, Hero Brinkman, has stated that the party is too authoritarian and centered around Wilders and wants it to become more democratic.

Luckily the upcoming elections will be about the economy and that's why (well and the interal problems) they will only gain like 17 seats instead of 31.

The PVV has really killed itself over the last months though. The entire ''headscarves are no longer undebatable'' issue, ''Undercover bij the PVV'' and now it's own members criticizing it for it's undemocratic nature has really caused a sharp decline in support for the party.

And you forget the not taking part in local councils part.

@Phier

One of their MP's as an alcohol problem, beats up barmen and building contractors. Another one molested his wife. A new potential MP lied about his/her education. Etcetera, etcetera.

EDIT:

Also: We need an election thread. It is the right time, the election is 9 june.

If he is, yes.


BTW the mad nutter called to kick Jews out of the comunity if the do not denounce the Goldstone report.

[mcsam]

Seems a lot like a smear campaign to me.

Maybe the leaking of it. Probably not the letter itself, it was send about a month ago. When Markuszower heard of it, just after Wilders received the letter, he left the party. The information about the letter has only come out today.

Markuszower himself also confirms Wilders has received the letter and told Markuszower about it.

Also this was the AIVD. I don't think they do smearing. And this agency is under the ministry of a CDA (Christian-democrats) minister. They don't really care about Wilders either way.

[King Edward III]

Red spy is in the base!

[Armenum]

Wilders is very close with Israel and is a big supporter, so it wouldn't be to big of a surprise that there's some cooperation between Mossad and PVV. However, what possible intel could Mossad get from Holland?

[Каие]

Ironic. Wilders spends all his time damning Muslims as traitors and disloyal and praising Jews and Israel as bastions of western civilisation, loyalty and citizenship.

[Mossad]

We're not really sure what the Dutch Intelligence was talking about, we haven't been spying on anyone.

The other day Eli was saying how anyone who runs against this gentleman should be assassinated but that's just him being a typical Jew.

[Dr. Oza]

what do you know, "mossad?" go back to massacring innocent Palestinians

[Vermelho_Steele]

This is proof that the Jews are trying to rule the world...clearly. Now, where is Amagi? He's late.

[Simon Cashmere]

Just one? There would be quite a few. Socialist spies, Islamic spies, media spies. It's just part of politics.
