The leader of the Dutch right-wing Party for Freedom, Geert Wilders, who is suspected of insulting Moroccans on the basis of race and inciting discrimination and hatred in March this year, will be prosecuted. Mr. Wilders asked his supporters in The Hague if they wanted more or fewer Moroccans in their city, triggering the chant: "Fewer! Fewer! Fewer!" This incident has been reported to the police over 6,400 times. ''Politicians may go far in their comments under the right to free speech, but that freedom is limited by the prohibition of discrimination,'' the prosecutor's statement said.
