Thierry Baudet stated that people who appealed to freedom, tolerance, the rule of law, and the open society, in his view undermined those principles. He wrote that the outcome of a won referendum was ignored and that the possibility of organizing new referendums was subsequently abolished. He also said that his political party was not involved in coalition formation, was not allowed to appear in the media, and was systematically demonized. According to Baudet, a draft law had also been prepared to ban the party. He added that the publishing house that released the critical book *The Coronabedrog* won the NS Publieksprijs, but that the prize was not awarded and the procedure was then adjusted. Furthermore, Baudet wrote that the license of a broadcasting organization he founded was revoked and that there were attempts to find ways to close a school he established or to make future similar schools impossible. He asked what the concepts of democracy, rule of law, tolerance, and open society were still worth according to him. #democratie #vrijheid #toleren (translated)
