FvD refuses to remove racist podcast episode amid outcry
An English language podcast broadcast aired by the far-right FvD party’s international arm, Forum & Friends, has sparked an outcry...
A far-right Dutch political party's international podcast has come under heavy criticism for airing a racist episode. The August 26 episode, hosted by John Laughland, featured a British author discussing genetic inferiority and inferiority of people from 10 African countries. Laughland, a mentor to party founder Thierry Baudet, nodded in agreement with the guest's analysis. The podcast, which is funded by the interior ministry, aims to provoke thought and is not targeted at Dutch voters, according to a political scientist.
