Far-right politician thought he was poisoned in 2018 election debate

NL Times  

FvD leader Thierry Baudet thought that he had been poisoned in a 2018 election debate at De Balie in Amsterdam. He went to hospital afterwards to be tested for toxins, but all tests came back negative, according to the book Mijn meningen zijn feiten; De wording van Thierry Baudet by Harm Ede Bote and Mischa Cohen. Former party member Henk Otten claims that Baudet was trying to hide the fact that he was poorly prepared for the debate, Het Parool reports. D66 leader Alexander Pechtold confronted him about discriminatory statements Baudet made in the past, which Baudet dismissed as lies and attempts to "demonize" him.
