Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders said the decision of removing the judges in his appeal against the «fewer Moroccans» conviction is «tremendous», reports the Irish Times.

The lawyers in Wilders’ case argued that they «had failed to behave impartially towards him», says the same source.

Geert Wilders’ appeal started last Thursday in the Netherlqnds. He told media ahead of the hearing that the ruling «does not interest [me] in the slightest».

«They will never shut me up», said Wilders describing the trial as «judicial jihad».

For the record, Wilders told the crowds in 2014 that «The Hague should be a city with fewer problems, if possible, fewer Moroccans». He then asked his followers whether they want more or fewer Moroccans in the city and they chanted repeating «fewer, fewer, fewer». Wilders responded saying : «We will take care of that».

A new panel of judges will be selected and brought to carry the hearings expected to last for 11 days.
