In political shift to the far right, anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders wins big in Dutch elections

IndiaTimes Thursday, 23 November 2023
Anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders wins Dutch elections, signaling a rise of far-right ideology. Wilders is set to lead talks to form the next governing coalition and aims to become the first far-right prime minister of the Netherlands. His election program includes calls for a referendum on leaving the European Union, halting asylum-seekers, and de-Islamizing the country. Despite his harsh rhetoric, Wilders promises to work within the law and constitution. Mainstream parties are reluctant to join forces with him, but his victory strengthens his hand in negotiations.
