'The Dutch Are Being Replaced’: Thierry Baudet Warns of ‘Africanization’ and the Disappearance of the ‘White European World Forever’ (Video)

In a bold and unapologetic speech delivered during the Dutch House of Representatives debate on migration, Forum for Democracy (FvD) leader Thierry Baudet dismantled the State Commission on Demography’s recent report, accusing it of deliberately omitting the central issue: mass immigration and its catastrophic consequences for Dutch identity.

“The Netherlands of our ancestors is disappearing,” Baudet declared. “Instead, we are Africanizing. This is due to years of open borders and mass immigration.”

Baudet painted a vivid picture of a nation on the brink of an irreversible demographic shift, warning of a crisis that demands immediate action.

“500 Pages of Evasion” – Exposing the Commission’s Failure

Baudet began his speech by invoking Otto von Bismarck’s 19th-century lament: “Achtundachtzig professoren, Vaterland du bist verloren”—‘Eighty-eight professors, fatherland, you are lost.’

For Baudet, the sentiment perfectly captures the futility of the State Commission on Demography’s 500-page report. Despite its length, Baudet argued, the report avoids confronting the core issue—immigration: “500 pages, essentially to avoid addressing what everyone knows is the real problem… immigration.”

The report’s silence, Baudet said, was not accidental but a deliberate act of ideological evasion.

Deliberate Omissions: “Race, Islam, and IQ” Erased from the Debate

Baudet eviscerated the commission for excluding terms central to any honest demographic debate:

• “The word ‘race’ is not mentioned at all.”
• “The word ‘Islam’ is not mentioned at all.”
• “The term ‘IQ’ is also conspicuously absent.”

Even key concepts like ethnicity, identity, and whiteness were minimized or erased: “The word ‘identity’ is mentioned only a single time… The word ‘white’ is not mentioned even once.”

For Baudet, these omissions were not oversights but part of a broader refusal to confront the real crisis facing the Netherlands: “The Netherlands is undergoing a demographic transformation that threatens its very survival.”

“The Afrikaners Serve as Guinea Pigs” – A Warning from South Africa

Baudet delivered one of the most sobering parts of his speech when he invoked the plight of the Afrikaners in South Africa. Quoting Dutch MP Martin Bosma, Baudet warned:

“The Afrikaners serve as guinea pigs in the multicultural laboratory.
They are the first Western people to undergo what multiculturalists advocate.
Becoming a minority and then relinquishing power. The canaries in the coal mines.”

He then posed a critical question to the Dutch people: “Should the Dutch end up in the same position as the Afrikaners in South Africa? Should we also succumb to the multicultural beckoning for diversity and reconciliation?”

Baudet’s rhetorical hammer fell hard on Dutch complacency: “In the Netherlands, we don’t ask that question. We seem unable to imagine becoming a minority in our own country.”

“People Are Not Interchangeable” – Economic and Cultural Realities of Immigration

At the heart of Baudet’s speech was a rejection of the liberal assumption that people are interchangeable economic units. He criticized the report’s failure to acknowledge the cultural and economic costs of immigration:

“The idea that Europe can still be Europe with Africans in it… Numbers in a statistic, that’s what people are. Not carriers of specific ethnic and cultural identities.”

Baudet stressed that migrants from Africa and the Middle East are not neutral replacements for the Dutch population. They bring norms, values, and cultures that often clash with Dutch society—differences that endure for generations:

“No matter how interchangeable people may appear in an Excel spreadsheet, people are more than just a pair of hands to get work done. They remain different for many generations—perhaps forever.”

Citing research by respected Dutch scholar Dr. Jan van der Beek, Baudet dismantled the myth of economic benefit: “Almost all migrant groups live disproportionately often on welfare, in social housing, and are a cost to the Dutch state, overall.”

“The Great Replacement” – Not a Theory but Reality

Baudet addressed the “Great Replacement,” a term popularized by French writer Renaud Camus to describe Europe’s ongoing demographic transformation. The concept refers to the replacement of Western cultures by Islamic culture, driven in part by significantly higher birth rates in Muslim families compared to non-Muslim families. Camus first coined the term after traveling through France and witnessing how migration had radically altered historical villages. Variations of the same phenomenon are often referred to as “replacement migration” or creolization.” Baudet emphasized that this is not a conspiracy theory but an observable fact:

“The ‘replacement’ is not a theory, but simply a name for an event, like the Great Depression or the Great War.”

Baudet warned of the long-term consequences: “The disappearance of the white European world forever. And that will never return. That is what is happening right now.”

To further substantiate his claims, Baudet referenced Belgian politician Philip DeWinter, whose book Omvolking (Population Replacement) outlines Europe’s demographic collapse. Quoting DeWinter, Baudet noted:

“The white European populations are shrinking. Since 2012, non-Western immigration has increased dramatically, while native populations decline, ensuring a permanent and irreversible demographic shift.”

For Baudet, this highlights the severity of Europe’s transformation: “The Netherlands is not alone in facing this crisis. What began as open borders is now leading to the erasure of entire nations.”

A Clear Solution: Stop Immigration and Encourage Re-Migration

Baudet’s solution was unapologetically direct:

1. Stop mass immigration.
2. Encourage re-migration to countries of origin.

He argued that reversing this trend is not only possible but necessary to secure the future of the Netherlands: “Just as people were once encouraged to come here with benefits, rental housing, and free services, people can also be encouraged to return to their countries of origin.”

“Time Is Running Out” – A Call to Action

In his closing remarks, Baudet delivered a rallying cry to the Dutch people and their political class:

“Do we care, or not, that we are becoming a minority in our own country?
Do we want to pull the emergency brake and stop this disappearance of our only home?”

He made it clear that the choice lies with the nation: “Can we preserve the Netherlands? We can. It is simply possible. Stop immigration, encourage re-migration. Only then can we preserve this beautiful country and pass it on to our children and grandchildren.”

Baudet stands as one of the few voices willing to confront the existential crisis of mass immigration. By invoking the Afrikaners’ plight and exposing the establishment’s deliberate silence, Baudet makes clear that time is running out. The Netherlands can still be saved—but only if bold action is taken now.
