Talks to form a far right-led coalition government in the Netherlands falter
apAUG 2023
Wilders is an incredibly controversial figure who is known for inflammatory anti-Islamic and anti-immigration rhetoric. In a country that's long prided itself on tolerance, it's no surprise that the other parties did not want him to hold the top job.
The fact that the person with the most votes in the general election will not become Prime Minister is not only unfair, it's undemocratic. The Netherlands needs to overhaul its laws so that this situation cannot happen again.
