Lost Fortuyn

A nation known for its tolerance mourns for a leader with extreme views

Thursday, May 9, 2002: A mourner kisses a portrait of Pim Fortuyn as he queues at Rotterdam's Roman Catholic cathedral to pay his last respects to Fortuyn, the maverick extreme-right leader whose murder shocked the nation. Fortuyn's assassination by a lone gunman just 10 days before general elections which had expected to mark Fortuyn's anti-immigration party's breakthrough into mainstream politics, stunned a country proud of its long legacy of tolerance.
