Ad van den Berg

The Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity, alternatively the Charity, Freedom, and Diversity Party, was a political party and a paedophile advocacy group in the Netherlands. It existed without parliamentary representation and had only three known members as of 2006. The PNVD was commonly referred to as the "paedo party" by media outlets, due to its advocacy for the legalisation of child pornography and the lowering of the age of consent. The party was originally founded on 31 May 2006 by three self-described paedophile. Its motto was sapere aude, or "dare to know". Starting with the 2006 general election, the PNVD failed to contest electorally as it was unable to collect the 30 signatures from each of the 19 Dutch electoral regions it required to get on the ballot. On 14 March 2010, the party was dissolved.
