Geert Wilders' Election Win: A Warning for Europe

Geert Wilders, the leader of the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands, has vowed to become the country's prime minister following the recent election where his party won the most seats. Despite his party's success, Wilders will need to cooperate with other moderate parties to form a government. The conservative VVD Party, which shares similar views on immigration, has stated that it will not participate in a cabinet with Wilders, but has not ruled out offering outside support. Cooperation with other parties may be challenging due to Wilders' extreme positions that potentially violate constitutional protections. If unable to form a government, centrist combinations excluding the PVV or new elections could be considered.
