"Undemocratic" to exclude PVV from cabinet, Wilders says

NL Times  

The three largest parties after the election must try to form a cabinet together, according to PVV leader Geert Wilders. Even though the VVD already said that it won't work with the PVV again, they owe it to the voters, Wilders said on the NPO Radio 1 news on Monday. According to Wilders, it is "undemocratic" of VVD leader and departing Prime Minster Mark Rutte to exclude the PVV. During an election debate last week, Rutte and Wilders again clashed about Wilders' refusal to apologize for his "fewer Moroccan" statements - statements that got him convicted for hate speech.
