Jan Teijn

In 2001, Teijn joined the New National Party (NNP), and in 2002 he became a councillor in the Rotterdam district of Feijenoord. In 2003, following an internal conflict, he left the NNP and continued as an independent councillor.^[3] Together with Virginia Kapić, formerly active in the NVU and the NNP, he founded the National Alliance. In the 2006 municipal and district elections, the National Alliance failed to win seats in both Feijenoord and the Rotterdam city council. The party was dissolved on 21 July 2007.

As a politician and activist, Teijn campaigned against child pornography and pedophiles, including through a citizens’ initiative to ban the so-called “pedophile party,” the PNVD.

On 14 August 2007, it was announced that the Dutch Public Prosecution Service would prosecute Teijn.^[4] He was held responsible for allowing discriminatory statements on the website of the National Alliance, where he served as forum moderator. The anti-discrimination bureau Radar filed a complaint. The prosecution also alleged that Teijn possessed video material involving underage girls. According to Teijn, it concerned "two videos with not very young girls, between 13 and 17 according to the prosecution" and was therefore a "grey area".^[5] He was not charged in relation to these videos.

On 2 February 2009, Jan Teijn was convicted for hate-inciting statements on the NA forum—which the court described as "low-minded", "utterly reprehensible" and having a "toxic character"—and for possession of a stun gun. He received a suspended six-month prison sentence and 120 hours of community service.^[6]
