Dutch far -right leader Geert Wilders suspended his election campaign ahead of the October 29 parliamentary elections after being informed that he was informed that were the same goal of the team who intended to attack the Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Weaver.

Wilders explained in a post on the X platform that he was informed by the Dutch Intelligence Service, NCTV, that he was a target himself. Although NCTV does not see any immediate threat, he said he has a “bad feeling” and “interrupts all his pre -election activity at present”.

A few hours earlier, Wilders refused at the last minute to take part in a debate on Dutch radio, explaining that he made this decision based on VTM Nieuws’ Belgian media information that he was one of the politicians who intended to attack the three young men.

Wilders’ party, PVV, is ahead of polls ahead of the elections. The Dutch politician with anti -Islamic and anti -immigration views often accepts death threats and has been under police protection since 2004.

On Thursday, Belgian justice announced that three men were arrested by planning a jihadist attack with an unmanned aircraft. One of their goals was the Belgian prime minister. De Wever has officially not commented on the case. However, he appeared on Friday in front of the cameras with a thumb raised and then posted a humorous message on the internet, playing with his cat and asks if he knows how to hunt unmanned aircraft.

According to the VTM Nieuws, the target of the suspects was also the mayor of Antwerp, the ELS Van Doseburg.
