The former Christian Democrat MP, Pieter Omtzigt, won 20 seats in last week’s election with new party Nieuw Sociaal Contract. His support was considered to be crucial in helping the new PVV leader to form a coalition government.

The country of Jordan should be considered the true national homeland for the Palestinian people, according to Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders, who caused an uproar after making the declaration online. In a Saturday post on X, formerly Twitter, the right-wing firebrand who won this past week’s election in the Netherlands made the remarks, sharing a Politico article describing Arab states condemning his “push to relocate Palestinians to Jordan.” The post sparked widespread criticism and disapproval from Arab nations. Often compared to former President Donald Trump due to similarities in his ideology and character, Wilders has earned the nickname “the...

After the landslide victory for Geert Wilders’ Dutch patriotic Freedom Party PVV Wednesday, the defeated RINO ruling People’s Party VVD has said they will not negotiate with the winners. Wilders warned, “Don’t play games with the will of the people – it will only make us much, much bigger.”Wilders torched the VVD People’s Party for not even considering negotiations, saying “The VVD governed with (Soros-backed pro-Open Borders) D66 for years, which caused the asylum disaster, which now brought the government down, but now they don’t want to govern with the PVV to solve it? The vast majority of VVD voters...

Far-Right Icon Predicted to Win Dutch Elections

NYTimes ^ | 11/22/2023
The Netherlands on Wednesday took a startling turn in national elections with the potential to ripple through Europe, as Dutch voters threw most support behind the party of a far-right icon with an incendiary reputation who had campaigned on an anti-immigrant platform. Geert Wilders, a political provocateur long known for his anti-Islam and anti-Europe stances, appeared poised to come out significantly ahead with the most parliamentary seats, according to some early results and exit polls, which were expected to be dependable, especially given the margin of victory they indicated. “The Dutch voter has spoken,” Mr. Wilders said in a speech...

The Conversation ^ | Nov 23 | EPA/Remko de Waal
The results of the Dutch election, in which Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom emerged as victors, have sent shockwaves through the political establishment. For the first time in Dutch history, a party of the extreme right is the largest in the national parliament. Wilders is an eccentric politician known for his inflammatory rhetoric. He advocates the Netherlands leaving the European Union and has called Islam a “fascist” religion. In a 2016 trial, he was found guilty of inciting discrimination (but received no penalty for the crime). While polling leading up the election had suggested that Party for Freedom could become...

Right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders is expected to secure the most seats in parliamentary elections on Wednesday in a landslide, an exit poll showed, putting him far ahead enough that he is expected to become the Netherlands' next leader. His Freedom Party (PVV) won the most seats with 35, followed by the Green-Labour alliance led by former EU Commissioner Frans Timmermans with 25, the NOS' exit poll showed early Thursday morning. The 60-year-old politician was seen celebrating the result in a video posted on his social media account, with a simple caption that read "35."

Veteran anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders is heading for a dramatic victory in the the Dutch general election, says an Ipsos exit poll. After 25 years in the Dutch parliament, his Freedom party is heading for 35 seats, according to the poll, well ahead of his nearest rival, a left-wing alliance. If confirmed the result will shake Dutch politics. But he will struggle to find parties to join him in government. No single party can win enough seats to govern alone, and three big parties behind him have made clear they have no desire to work with Mr Wilders. But...

HANOI (Reuters) - Dutch semiconductor companies and suppliers are planning manufacturing investments in Vietnam, top officials told Reuters on Thursday during a business mission to Hanoi led by outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Initial known investments are not large, but signal a shift to reduce reliance on China as a hub for exports amid increasing trade tensions between Beijing and the West which have curbed the Netherlands' sales of the most advanced chips to China. Roughly a dozen of the nearly 30 businesses that accompanied Rutte were representatives of chips companies or suppliers of semiconductor firms, according to the delegation's...
