Geert Wilders Shock Victory in Dutch Elections and Potential Political Change Ahead

The anti-Islamic, Eurosceptic radical Geert Wilders is expected to be the shock winner the elections in the Netherlands.

“Politico” commented on this.

In a dramatic result that will shock European politics, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) is set to won about 35 of the 150 seats in parliament.

This is double the number Geert Wilders won in the 2021 election.

The Union of Labor and the Greens of France Timmermans is expected to finish secondwinning 25 seats – a big jump from his current 17. Dylan Yesilgöz, the successor to outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte at the head of the center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, suffered a heavy loss and is expected to take 24 seats, 10 fewer than before. according to the updated Ipsos exit poll for national broadcaster NOS.

A win for Wilders would put the Netherlands on course – potentially – for dramatic change in the direction after Rutte’s four successive centrist governments.

The question now, however, is whether other parties are willing to join Wilders, to form a coalition. Despite emerging as the largest party, it will not have a majority in parliament.

The centrist party New Social Contract, led by Peter Omzigt, wins 20 seats.

European media note that these are only the first data and it is possible that the final results will look a little different.

The current elections are being held ahead of schedule.

Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced the resignation of the government in July due to a split in his coalition on the issue of increasing migration.

Rutte, who led the Dutch government for more than 13 years, also said he was refusing to lead his party in elections and was leaving politics altogether.

According to Rutte, it’s a “personal decision” that it won’t changeregardless of election results.

As noted by the European media, Rütte’s popularity among his fellow citizens has recently declined.
