SKY The PVV leader Geert Wilders branded mainstream politicians "weak"

REUTERS Geert Wilders is hoping to become the next Dutch leader

Mr Wilders announced to the media scrum that if he was president, he would ban Turkish officials from entering the country. This comes after local mayors in Netherlands and Germany reacted furiously to plans by the Turkish government to hold campaign rallies across European cities. Recip Tayyip Erdogan is hoping to consolidate his leadership in a referendum in April, which will transfer a large amount of power from the Turkish parliament to the president. Mr Erdogan is targeting the large immigrant communities in Europe to seal his victory. Mr Wilders spoke out and slapped down the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte as "weak". He said: "They are coming here to advocate for a change to the Turkish constitution that will only strength the Islamic Fascism of Erdogan. "If I was Prime Minister today I would declare a ban on them until after the referendum in Turkey. "I would call the entire cabinet persona non-granta. I would tell them they should not interfere here with their domestic problems. "We should be very strict on that. It’s another example we are losing control of our own country."

It’s another example we are losing control of our own country Geert Wilders

During a series of quickfire questions with Sky News, the firebrand leader spoke about the EU, Brexit and refugees. The 53-year-old vowed that if elected he will pull the Netherlands out of the EU, ban the sale of Korans, and close several mosques and Islamic schools. He told Sky News: "[On Trump] I don’t agree with everything he does but still he is a lot better than Mrs Clinton would be. "Brexit is fantastic, I hope we can follow. "Well [Theresa May] is taking Britain out of the European Union so I applaud her for that. He then described the EU as the "worst thing ever" and said the Koran has more anti-Semitism than Hitler's Mein Kampf. Wilders added: "I have nothing against Muslims, I have a problem with Islam. "Every real refugee should have shelter but preferably in their own region like Saudi Arabia instead of here."
