Nawijn Group
Dutch parliamentary group
The Nawijn Group (Dutch: Groep Nawijn) was a Dutch right-wing Fortuynist political faction founded by Hilbrand Nawijn, a member of the House of Representatives, which existed from 2005 to 2006.
History
It was founded in June 2005 when Nawijn split from his previous party, the Pim Fortuyn List (LPF). It remained a one-man faction in the Parliament until August 2006 when LPF parliamentary leader Gerard van As joined Nawijn after also leaving the LPF. Nawijn also participated in the 2006 Zoetermeer municipal council election; his list won five seats under the name Lijst Hilbrand Nawijn, but like Livable Rotterdam and the LPF both led by Pim Fortuyn in the 2002 elections, these are separate entities.
In August 2006 Nawijn announced his plans to participate in the 2006 general election as the lead candidate of the newly-founded Party for the Netherlands (Partij voor Nederland, PvN). However, after Van As left the party following internal disagreement, the PvN failed to win a seat at the election.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Nawijn Group”, the useful work is to connect “dutch parliamentary group” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2947998. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2006 and 2002.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
