As Melusine says, this shooting has just made things worse - I heard on the radio that 'lijst Fortuyn' (Fortuyn's political party) is going on without their leader and is therefore still an option with regards to the elections, and Fortuyn's supporters are only going to be more determined for 'lijst Fortuyn' to win.
As far as Fortuyn being a Nazi, it's hard to say. He is certainly extremely right-wing, but not as racist as some people seem to think. He merely points out the fact that people are taking advantage of the Netherlands as a whole - and it is, coincedentally perhaps, generally ethnic minorities that appear to do this. This automatically brands Fortuyn a 'racist' when he is only really interested in maintaining a stable economy with maximum efficiency.
