VoorNederland (translated: For Netherlands) is a Dutch political party. It was active in the House of Representatives of the Netherlands as the Group Bontes/Van Klaveren (Dutch: Groep Bontes/Van Klaveren), a parliamentary group that was formed on 15 April 2014 by Louis Bontes and Joram van Klaveren, two Members of the House that had left the Party for Freedom (PVV), the party they were originally elected to represent. On 28 May 2014 Louis Bontes, Joram van Klaveren and Johan Driessen announced the formation of a new political party.
On May 28, 2014, the group officially founded a new political party, VoorNederland (VNL) (in English For the Netherlands or Pro-Netherlands), a classical liberal and liberal conservative and eurosceptic political party.
On 13 November 2014, the party announced that it would cooperate with the UK Independence Party in the Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe.
In December 2014 and January 2015, VNL was joined by former PVV leader in the European Parliament Laurence Stassen and, leading up to the 2015 provincial elections, two provincial PVV representatives from Groningen and Gelderland. On 27 January 2015 it was announced that the members of the party Article 50 had voted to merge it into VoorNederland.
