[5] When Femke Halsema, mayor of Amsterdam, allowed a pro-Palestinian protest on the first anniversary of the Hamas-led attack on Israel of 7 October 2023, PVV leader Geert Wilders criticized her, after which Deen requested Minister of the Interior and Kingdom Relations Judith Uitermark to dismiss Halsema. Prime Minister Dick Schoof responded that it was unacceptable to request in parliament the firing of a mayor for political reasons.
