After a long career working for the Dutch ''Ministry of Justice'' he was elected in [[2002]] as a member of the [[Christen-Democratisch Appèl]] for the [[city council]] of [[Zoetermeer]]. Nawijn was an early supporter of the Dutch politician [[Pim Fortuyn]] and in 2002 when Fortuyn founded the Lijst Pim Fortuyn Nawijn earned a place on the list. Despite the [[assassination]] of Fortuyn days before the election the LPF emerged with a successful result thus bringing Nawijn into the Dutch [[Tweede Kamer\|Lower House]]. He was appointed Minister for Integration and Immigration in the [[First Balkenende cabinet\|first Balkenende cabinet]]. From 2002 to 2004, he served as a [[Member of parliament\|Member]] of the [[House of Representatives (Netherlands)\|House of Representatives]] for the [[Pim Fortuyn List]] party and from 2006 for the [[Party for the Netherlands]]. Nawijn was [[List of Ministers of Justice of the Netherlands\|Minister for Integration and Asylum Affairs]] in the first cabinet of [[Jan Peter Balkenende]]. Due to the instability of the LPF following Fortuyn's death the first Balkenende cabinet lasted a short time leading to early elections in 2003. Due to Nawijn's controversial [[Conservatism\|conservative]] positions such as his support of the [[death penalty]], he was placed at the bottom of the LPF's electoral list. This should have made it almost impossible for Nawijn to be reelected, however, the same statements which made him so unpopular to the political establishment won him a following among voters. Thus on election day Nawijn received enough individual votes to once again enter the Tweede Kamer. ==Early life== Despite still being a member of the LPF, Nawijn often butted heads within the party. In January of 2005 he left the totally fragmented LPF with the eventual goal of founding his own political party. He also maintains good relations with the increasingly powerful [[Flanders\|Flemish]] party [[Vlaams Belang]].[http://www.vlaamsbelangvlaamsparlement.org/index.php?p=persmededelingen&id=197] Together with another ex-LPF politician, [[Gerard van As]], Nawijn will enter the [[Dutch general election, 2006\|2006 Dutch elections]] with the party [[Partij voor Nederland]] (''Party for the Netherlands''). Nawijn was born in [[Kampen (Overijssel)\|Kampen]]. The son of a [[burgemeester]] (mayor), he is a descendant of Firmin [[Navin]], a French [[Huguenot]] who had fled to Holland in 1696<ref>[http://twente.ngv.nl/Documenten/TG-nr.%204-2008.pdf]{{dead link\|date=May 2014}}</ref> to escape persecution. After graduating Emelwerda College in [[Emmeloord]] he studied law at the [[Rijksuniversiteit Groningen]]. He then worked for the Dutch Ministry of Justice and was a legal assistant at the main department of Constitutional and Criminal Law. He later founded his own legal firm ''Nawijn lawyers'' in Zoetermeer.<ref>[http://www.volkskrant.nl/archief/herinnert-u-zich-deze-nog~a3250988/ Herinnert u zich deze nog?
