أستراليا: رئيس وزراء أستراليا الغربية يرفض استقبال "فيلدرز"

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

رفض "كولين بارنيت" - رئيس وزراء أسترالية الغربية ورئيس الحزب الليبرالي الأسترالي الغربي - استقبال "خيرت فيلدرز" السياسي الهولندي المناهض للإسلام، مؤكدًا عدم السماح له بدخول المباني الحكومية للحيلولة دون منح اليمين المتطرف طريقًا في المجتمع الأسترالي.

وبناءً على ذلك تم إلغاء الخطاب الذي كان من المقرر أن يلقيه "فيلدرز" بمدينة "بيرث" - عاصمة ولاية "أستراليا الغربية" - حيث قال "بارنيت" في تصريح صحفي: لم أرد "فيلدرز" هنا ولكن جاء، لن أتدخل، ولكن لن أسمح له باستخدام مباني الحكومة للترويج لرسالته التي تدعو لمنع الهجرة الإسلامية، واعتبار الإسلام لا يتوافق مع القيم الغربية؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

I don't want Dutch MP Geert Wilders here - Colin Barnett

WA Premier Colin Barnett says he may have ``played some role'' in controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders being forced to cancel his speaking engagements in Perth.

Mr Wilders was forced to cancel the speaking component of his visit to Perth when he was unable to find a venue to host him, but he still plans to visit the WA capital.

The Premier said today his comment that Mr Wilders was not welcome at government buildings might have affected the right-wing politician's ability to get a venue.

``I don't want him here. But he's here, and I'm not going to interfere now,'' Mr Barnett told Fairfax radio.

``But he certainly is not going to use government buildings to promote his message.''

Mr Barnett said it was possible venue operators may have been concerned about demonstrations, which was why no one else offered their venue to Mr Wilders after a four-star hotel cancelled his booking.

The Dutch MP, who wants a ban on Islamic immigration and says the religion is incompatible with freedom, is stirring controversy with his tour of Australia, which began in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Host of the tour, the Q Society, said on Tuesday that finding another venue at short notice was almost impossible because of security needed for the MP and the threat of possible protests.

Mr Wilders was still scheduled to travel to Perth for a press conference but the Q Society was not immediately available for comment about when it would be held.
