KLM turns away Geert Wilders

EU: A misunderstanding or something much worse that speaks of KLM mindset?

SCHIPHOL - Airline KLM refused to take Geert Wilders on a flight to Moscow on Monday morning because of problems with the Freedom Party (PVV) leader's security.

After consultation the delegation of which Wilders was a part departed for Russia without him. KLM says that the MP had "specific requests regarding his security." Since these requests had not been submitted to the airline in advance, they could not be met, a spokesperson said.

Wilders denies this vehemently. "There were absolutely no extra requests made. This trip was prepared and they knew I was coming."
