Far-right in Netherlands set to form coalition government
FAR-RIGHT Dutch politician Geert Wilders was on the verge today of brokering a four-party coalition six months after winning the most seats during the November 2023 general election.
The move opens the prospect of yet another European nation lurching to the far right weeks ahead of EU parliamentary elections.
Mr Wilders has said that he does not expect to become prime minister himself because he remains too extreme for his coalition partners, but his Party for Freedom would be the driving force in a four-party coalition.
