Forum for Democracy is heading for a major election win on Wednesday 20 March, and Thierry Baudet's party is also popular with the farmers. Marc Calon, the foreman of LTO Nederland, says in an interview with the Financieele Dagblad (FD.nl) that he does not feel anything for this populist ideology.
If parties such as the Forum for Democracy or the Party for Freedom (PVV) are in charge in the Netherlands, then it is likely, according to the foreman, that the borders will close and the euro will disappear. He thinks this will be disastrous for the Netherlands, given that we have the worldwide second largest exporter of agricultural goods. In the interview with FD.nl he warns against the ideas of Thierry Baudet and Geert Wilders.
Populists opted for Brexit
Calon also points to the populist movements in Germany and France, where 'Alternative für deutschland' and 'Rassemblement National' are big. According to the leader of LTO Nederland, the populists in the United Kingdom have opted for Brexit, which could also have a negative impact on the Dutch agricultural sector.
The foreman also believes that the entire Dutch economy will be badly off if the politicians decide to raise the borders.

How well informed is Calon about politics? Not really. England did not opt for Brexit because of populism, but because of the old conservative supporters. And I haven't forgotten how he (Calon) blundered with the ear tag catastrophe last year. It can't get that bad or FvD is better for the farmer than Calon.
Bidet has no content.
Is for better purchasing power as if others are against it.
He certainly did not understand CO2. Stupid figure.
Van Koten and de Bie had the opposite party for you and for me
a better program.
Fortunately, there is still someone who questions the total idiocy of that so-called Forum for Democracy. So we don't all run after 1 idiot who just ignores everything that comes our way. Head in the sand and back to the time when we dumped the shit in the stream and threw the ddt with the shovel over the hotbed in the garden. Back to the time when employees were servants who could be cowed at will. Back to the time when only 1 person indicated the direction and the rest of the people followed stupidly. 1939.
