Geert Wilders' Surprise Win in Dutch Election Signals Far-Right Victory Trend

Far-right politician Geert Wilders has won a decisive victory in the Netherlands' general elections, causing concern in Brussels and Ukraine. Wilders, known for his anti-immigration and Islamophobic policies, has pledged to cut off military aid and potentially push for a Netherlands exit from the European Union. Forming a coalition government may be challenging, but a right-wing government with Wilders' party, Mark Rutte's conservative VVD Party, and Pieter Omtzigt's New Social Contract party is a likely outcome. Wilders may need to moderate his extreme policies, and fiscal policy may involve a balance between spending and cuts. A Wilders-led government is expected to be more antagonistic within the EU, but coalition partners may rein in his influence. The EU is closely watching the government formation process and is concerned about the potential disruption of policy-making and the impact on upcoming European Parliament elections.
