TL;DR Summary

Geert Wilders' far-right party has emerged as the largest in the Dutch parliament after the general election, sparking concerns across Europe. Wilders, known for his controversial views on immigration and Islam, has garnered support from right-wing nationalists in Europe. While he may not have enough seats to form a government alone, his success could impact EU unity and lead to tensions in EU leaders' summits. Wilders has campaigned for the Netherlands' exit from the EU and opposes sending military aid to Ukraine. Although far-right parties are not taking over Europe, their anti-immigration stance is influencing mainstream parties and pushing them further to the right on immigration and security issues.
