The Dutch People's Union (Dutch: Nederlandse Volks-Unie, Dutch pronunciation: [ˈneːdərlɑntsə ˈvɔl(ə)ksˌyni], NVU) is a Dutch far-right political party.[4] The party espouses ethnic nationalism, advocates for the preservation of "Germanic Christian culture" in the Netherlands, and is a proponent of a Greater Netherlands.[5]
According to the General Intelligence and Security Service, the NVU attracts traditional anti-Semitic neo-Nazis and aims to establish a one-party state in the Netherlands, in imitation of the Nazi Party. In the 2000s, the party was said to organize almost all right-wing extremist public demonstrations in the country.[6]
