Dutch prosecutors have dropped a case against the right-wing party Forum for Democracy (FvD), including its former leader Thierry Baudet, over two campaign videos that had been under investigation for alleged hate speech and group defamation. The videos — one from 2023 targeting non-binary and transgender people, and another from 2024 on the effects of asylum-seeker dispersal legislation — were found to be open to multiple interpretations, making criminal intent impossible to prove. Although prosecutors identified one instance of discriminatory insult in the first video, they concluded the offence was relatively minor and that pursuing a lengthy legal process was not justified.
