List Pim Fortuyn

Lijst Pim Fortuyn (List Pim Fortuyn) is a political party in the Netherlands.

The assassination of Fortuyn

Fortuyn was assassinated on May 6. Even though the assassin, Volkert van der Graaf, was caught immediately, members of the LPF floated a vast array of conspiracy theories about who they thought were ultimately responsible for the murder. The left wing, the "old political establishment" and the media were blamed, while claims of involvement of others in the murder abounded. It was said that "the shot came from the left", suggesting that leftwing people created an aggressive atmosphere around him with their criticism, which was comsidered ironic because the main leftwing criticism of him was that he did just that to others, such as muslims. The investigators of the crime were unimpressed, saying that the evidence suggested that the murderer had acted alone.
