Geert Wilders Withdraws Proposal to Ban Mosques and Quran

Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders has withdrawn a 2018 proposal to ban mosques and the Quran, a move seen as a concession to potential coalition partners ahead of government formation talks. The decision to abandon the bill, which aimed to ban "Islamic expressions," is crucial in gaining the trust and support of mainstream parties. Wilders is set to resume coalition talks with other party leaders, including those who have expressed concerns about the compatibility of his policies with the Dutch Constitution.
