The leader of the PVV is Geert Wilders. The other members are Fleur Agema, Raymond de Roon, Hero Brinkman, Martin Bosma, Barry Madlener, Teun van Dijck, Sietse Fritsma, Dion Graus[1]
The party aims to stop immigration, lower taxes, create stricter laws against criminals and terrorists and create basic laws for animal rights.[2]
Because of his outspoken views on radical Ilsam, PVV leader Wilders is under 24-7 police protection:
