Prosper Ego

Prosper Joannes Gerardus Antonius Ego (17 July 1927 – 23 January 2015) was the founder of the Oud-Strijders Legioen (“Former Warriors Legion”).

He was active in the Katholiek Nationale Partij (Catholic National Party) and participated in the founding of the Veteranen Legioen Nederland (Veteran’s League of the Netherlands).

Some KNP members, particularly in the Hague, opposed this, and in early 1956 the Nationale Unie (National Unity) party was formed.

In 1960 some members of the Nationale Unie left and joined the newly formed Liberale Staatspartij (Liberal Party).

Ego became vice-chairman, and stood as a candidate in the parliamentary elections of 1963, but the party failed to win a single seat.

The charges related to articles published in Sta Vast in 1992, in which ethnic minorities were called "profiteers" and "criminals".
