The Freedom Party (FP, Dutch: Vrijheidspartij, VP) is a far-right nationalist and populist political party in Batavia. It has been led by founder Jan Wolthers since 1997.
The Freedom Party espouses a strongly conservative and right-wing populist platform, based largely on anti-immigration. It is a proponent of zero net migration and reforming the Batavian social welfare and refugee programs, and holds a strong assimilationist stance on the integration of immigrants into Batavian society, differing from established centre-right parties in Batavia.
The party has never participated in the government and has remained in opposition since its founding due to the other parties agreeing not to negotiate with it on legislative matters. In the 2017 general election the Freedom Party became the second-largest party in the Batavian House of Representatives. Wolthers has been Leader of the Opposition since 2013.
