Geert Wilders' Far-Right Party Surges to Victory in Dutch Election

Geert Wilders and his far-right Party for Freedom are on track to win the Dutch national election by a wide margin, with early results showing them winning 37 seats in the 150-seat parliament. However, forming a coalition government may prove challenging as most parties have vowed not to govern with Wilders due to his extremist views. Despite his victory, four centrist parties appear to have enough seats to potentially form a coalition government, but negotiations could take months. Wilders' win reflects the resurgence of anti-immigrant populist parties in Europe.
