759: Geopolitical Chernobyl
Pim Fortuyn, Theo van Gogh, and Dutch Integration
The history of integration issues in the Netherlands is examined through the lens of the assassinations of politician Pim Fortuyn and filmmaker Theo van Gogh. Fortuyn, who opposed mass immigration, was killed by an activist in 2000, while Van Gogh was murdered by an Islamist extremist. These events are cited as foundational to the current European skepticism toward open-border policies.
