"Dutch Coalition Crisis: Geert Wilders' Struggle for Partners"

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders's hopes of forming a majority government are in jeopardy as a key negotiating party, The New Social Contract (NSC), abruptly withdraws from coalition talks over a dispute about public finances. Without the NSC's 20 seats in the 150-seat parliament, Wilders has no chance of forming a majority cabinet. The NSC indicated it could offer constructive support for a minority cabinet, while Wilders hinted at the possibility of new elections if the talks fail.

Dutch Parliament Sworn In After Far-Right Victory, Climate Change Plans in Doubt

A new lower house of the Dutch parliament has been sworn in, following the victory of Geert Wilders' far-right Party for Freedom in the general election two weeks ago. Talks to form a new ruling coalition are still in the early stages, with a "scout" engaging in discussions with party leaders. Wilders' party won 37 seats in the 150-seat parliament, but potential coalition partners are hesitant due to policy pledges they consider unconstitutional. The new parliament consists of 15 different parties, including 67 lawmakers with no prior legislative experience.

Geert Wilders and the Rise of the Far-Right in Dutch Elections

Geert Wilders' far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) is projected to win the most seats in the Dutch parliament, according to exit polls. The PVV's manifesto includes calls for bans on mosques, the Qur'an, and Islamic headscarves in government buildings. However, it remains uncertain if Wilders can form a coalition with a working parliamentary majority. Other major Dutch parties have stated they would not serve in a PVV-led cabinet. The outcome of the election could lead to a constitutional stalemate and have significant implications for immigration and climate policies, as well as relations with European partners.

Dutch Election: Uncertainty and Potential Shifts in Political Landscape

Dutch voters cast their ballots in a closely contested election, with at least three parties, including the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) led by Geert Wilders, vying for the top spot. The outcome of the election will have implications for immigration and climate change policies, as well as the country's relationship with the European Union. No party is projected to secure more than 20% of the vote, making coalition talks crucial in forming a government. The election also highlights the debate over funding climate policies and the potential for a hard-right coalition with a strong anti-immigration stance.

"Ukraine's Influence in Polish Election: Far-Right Party's Anti-War Stance Holds Key"

Poland's parliamentary election on Sunday could have significant implications for Russia's war against Ukraine. The far-right Confederation Party, which opposes Poland's support for Ukraine and advocates for limiting migration, could hold the balance of power if neither of the larger parties secures a majority. Public opinion in Poland has been largely supportive of Ukraine's war effort, but concerns about social support, expenses, and the staying power of the United States have emerged. The ruling Law and Justice Party and the centrist opposition Civic Coalition are the main contenders in the election, with both parties expressing pro-Ukraine and anti-Putin stances.

Elon Musk's Controversial Stance on German Migration Sparks Debate

Billionaire Elon Musk sparked controversy by reposting an article criticizing German-funded migrant rescue operations in the Mediterranean, suggesting they could be seen as an "invasion" of Italy. Musk called for the far-right party AfD to win upcoming regional elections in Germany, prompting a rebuke from the German foreign ministry, which defended the operations as life-saving. The debate comes amid a heated discussion on immigration in Europe, with Italy demanding that charity ships disembark rescued migrants in their own countries. Immigration has also become a key topic ahead of regional elections in Bavaria and Hesse.

Italy's Meloni Acknowledges Disappointment in Handling Soaring Migration Numbers

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, has admitted disappointment in controlling irregular immigration since her party's election victory. The number of migrants arriving on boats from North Africa has nearly doubled in a year, with over 130,000 registered so far in 2022. Meloni called on the EU for assistance, while her coalition partner, Matteo Salvini, rejected EU efforts and advocated for a tougher approach. The government has restricted rescue ship activities, promoted repatriation, and introduced a decree requiring migrants awaiting asylum decisions to pay a deposit or risk detention. Italy's centre-left Democratic Party criticized the right's approach as ineffective and lacking respect for human rights.

Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was released in a prisoner swap for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner, has been selected as a candidate for a seat in the legislative assembly of the Ulyanovsk region in central Russia by the far-right Liberal Democratic Party (LDPR).

Far-right party banned from Greek election by top court.

Greece's Supreme Court has banned the far-right Greeks (Hellenes) Party from participating in the upcoming general election, citing disqualification of parties led by politicians convicted of serious offences and those that would not "serve the free functioning of [Greece's] democratic constitution." The decision could affect the outcome of the election, with the winning party likely to have an easier time forming a new government with fewer parties represented in the national legislature. The nationalist leader, Ilias Kasidiaris, founded the Greeks Party after receiving a 13-year prison sentence in 2020.
