SAITAMA (Reuters) - Dutch pedophiles are launching a political party to push for a cut in the legal age for sexual relations to 12 from 16 and the legalization of child pornography and sex with animals, sparking widespread outrage.
The Charity, Freedom and Diversity (NVD) party said on its Web site it would be officially registered Wednesday, proclaiming: "We are going to shake The Hague awake!"
The party said it wanted to cut the legal age for sexual relations to 12 and eventually scrap the limit altogether.
"A ban just makes children curious," Ad van den Berg, one of the party's founders, told the Algemeen Dagblad (AD) newspaper.
"We want to make pedophilia the subject of discussion," he said, adding the subject had been a taboo since the 1996 Marc Dutroux child abuse scandal in neighboring Belgium.
"We want to get into parliament so we have a voice. Other politicians only talk about us in a negative sense, as if we were criminals," Van den Berg told Reuters.
The Netherlands, which already has liberal policies on soft drugs, prostitution and gay marriage, was shocked by the plan.
An opinion poll published Tuesday showed that 82 percent wanted the government to do something to stop the new party, while 67 percent said promoting pedophilia should be illegal.
"They make out as if they want more rights for children. But their position that children should be allowed sexual contact from age 12 is of course just in their own interest," anti-pedophile campaigner Ireen van Engelen told the AD daily.
Right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders said he had asked the government to investigate whether a party with such "sick ideas" could really be established, ANP news agency reported.
Kees van deer Staaij, a member of the Christian SGP party, also demanded action: "Pedophilia and child pornography should be taboo in every constitutional state. Breaking that will just create more victims and more serious ones."
The party wants private possession of child pornography to be allowed although it supports the ban on the trade of such materials. It also supports allowing pornography to be broadcast on daytime television, with only violent pornography limited to the late evening.
Toddlers should be given sex education and youths aged 16 and up should be allowed to appear in pornographic films and prostitute themselves. Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said.
The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
2GET
I predict doom! The existence of this party will erode values worldwide! EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE!
>The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
CP aside, that's pretty sweet.
I'm dutch. Wahoo!
they also want to sort of abandon the first and second chamber of the government, and a chosen prime minister. They're really 4-ch--->let's talk about everything!
sheesh. they should try talking to psychiatrists that have worked with abuse victims. there happens to be a reason that pedophilia (and the teenage version of pedophilia) is taboo in the western society. i'd quote the psychiatrists if i could remember who they were :\.
Well, their point is that not every participant in childporn in specific and sexual adult-child relations in general is a victim per sé... (including the prepuberal participants)
Indeed, the definition of 'victim' is quite stretchable, and for young children a bit dubious since there is a lasting power difference between them and their chaperone. In other words, if a child and an adult both enjoy a sexual act, there is room for debate on whether the child is a victim.
Whereas common opinion holds that pedophilia traumatizes children for the rest of their lives, even that could perhaps be contested. It is argued, for example, that trauma occurs only because society reacts so uptight to it.
This is a very controversial topic. It would be better if it were removed elsewhere, anywhere but DQN, because of that.
Furthermore I would like to add that above points are NOT MY OPINIONS, but those of the NVD party. I wrote them here for your information and not because I agree with them. I just happen to be Dutch and interested in political developments in my country.
N-V-D! N-V-D!
They just want to have a big loli orgy.
I think they want to make the world a better place
Won't SOMEBODY think of the children?!?! OH WAIT....
every dutch person on 4-ch should vote for them. not so that they'll win, just as protest.
bah, it would be better with runoff voting. Then I'D vote for the pedo party every year
NVD has been forced to rename themselves. A security company with the same name filed a complaint and won. No comments yet from the party-leadership, because the head of the party, who permanently lives in a camper on a campingsite, was nowhere to be found. Which is perhaps just as well because he and other party members have been threatened on multiple occasions.
Anti-NVD demonstration was canceled since only skinheads showed up.
>The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
Aside from this, that's sweet.
