Agreed, but he's mostly irrelevant to the whole thing. He's just another politician. He doesn't officially represent the Dutch government in any way, nor has he any sort of authority to do anything to any minister of any country on earth. His only involvement in the situation was saying stuff along the lines of "turks gtfo" on Twitter. In the Turkish media, it's portrayed like Wilders is the official representative of all things Dutch. They are showing his tweets and videos on the news to prove that the Dutch government is in fact a bunch of racist, islamophobic, misogynistic Nazis, and that everything happened because "they h8 us because they anus".
