Michiel Smit (born August 21, 1976 in Maasland) is a former Dutch politician and leader of Nieuw Rechts, a nationalist political party.
Political office
Michiel Smit was elected to the Rotterdam city council in 2002 as a member of Leefbaar Rotterdam. In February 2003, he came into conflict with Leefbaar-Rotterdam leader Ronald Sørensen and decided to leave the party. After leaving, he founded a new party: Nieuw Rechts.
Views
He released his first book Nederland op z'n kop in June 2004, just before the European elections. In the book he outlines his views on Dutch society and describes what he sees as the threat of Muslim extremists in the Netherlands.
In his latest book, Veiligheid, doe het ZELF, Smit says that handguns should be legalised in the Netherlands and that doing so will lead to less violent crime.
Smit has made statements against immigration and Islam. In 2003 Smit started to cooperate with the Jewish Defense League, citing the danger to both from the Arab European League, an anti-semitic activist organisation.[1] In the same year he demonstrated in Amsterdam against the pedophile association Vereniging MARTIJN as a leader of the Actiecomité Stop MARTIJN.
