"Dutch Far-right Leader Wilders Faces Coalition Challenge for Premiership"

Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom, announced that he does not have the support of his likely coalition partners to become the next Dutch prime minister. This comes after a breakthrough in coalition talks, setting up the likelihood of a technical Cabinet made up of experts. Wilders, known for his anti-Islam stance, has stepped aside in the interests of pushing through his agenda, and the exact contours of a new coalition Cabinet remain unclear. The rise of the populist far right in Europe is evident, with far-right parties expected to make significant gains in upcoming elections.
