Anti-EU, anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders seeks to form Dutch Govt after shock election win

The Hindu  

Dutch anti-EU far-right populist Geert Wilders will start looking for coalition partners on November 23 after a massive election win that is set to have wide repercussions in the Netherlands and Europe. "I am confident we can reach an agreement," Mr. Wilders said in his victory speech late on November 22. Mr. Wilders' win comes two months after the return to power of the equally anti-EU populist Robert Fico in Slovakia, who has pledged to halt military aid to Ukraine and cut immigration. VVD leader Dilan Yesilgoz, who earlier this week said her party wouldn't join a government led by Mr. Wilders, said it was now up to the winner to show he could get a majority.
