Tough coalition talks ahead after Far-right’s Wilders winning Dutch election

Dutch anti-EU far-right populist Geert Wilders, who has vowed to halt all immigration to the Netherlands, was set for a major victory in parliamentary elections on November 22, an exit poll showed. Dutch PVV Freedom party supporters celebrated in The Hague. The closest party to Wilders’ Party for Freedom was an alliance of the center-left Labor Party and Green Left, which was forecast to win 26 seats out of 150 seats. But the lawmaker, who has in the past been labeled a Dutch version of Donald Trump, first would have to form a coalition government before he can take the reins of power. Supporters of the Dutch centre-left Labour Party and Green Left party (PVDA) of Frans Timmermans reacted with disappointment to the election victory of Geert Wilders. Wilders’ election programme includes calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at the Dutch borders.
