“Fight the extreme, while it is still extreme.”

Margrethe Vestager speaks at the annual congress of the Dutch social-liberal, radical democratic party, D66. 

On the similarities of politics in Denmark and the Netherlands, where the xenophobic extreme is slowly becoming the mainstream, as allowed by the governments who form coalitions with nationalist, anti-immigration parties like Geert Wilders’s PVV or Pia Kjærsgaards Danish Peoples Party. 

Inspiring speech.
