 Hard-right firebrand Geert Wilders wins election in Netherlands: 'Dutch Donald Trump'

Dutch politician Geert Wilders has achieved a significant triumph in the recent election, positioning himself to lead the next ruling party and potentially become the next prime minister of the Netherlands.

At 60 years old, Wilders is often compared to the "Dutch Donald Trump" due to his populist political approach. Despite this, unlike his U.S. counterpart, Wilders seemed destined to remain in the opposition throughout his political career.

Wilders appeared genuinely surprised by the landslide victory revealed in an exit poll. In his initial response, shared in a video on X (formerly Twitter), he stretched out his arms, covered his face with his hands, and simply exclaimed "35!"—referring to the number of seats the exit poll predicted his Party for Freedom (PVV) would secure in the 150-seat lower house of parliament.

The closest Wilders came to governing was in 2010 when he supported the first coalition formed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte. However, he did not formally join the minority administration and brought it down after just 18 months over a dispute about austerity measures. Since then, mainstream parties have largely avoided forming alliances with him.

During his election celebration in a small bar in a suburb of The Hague, Wilders expressed his party's willingness to cooperate with other parties from a strengthened position with 35 seats, emphasizing that his party could no longer be ignored by any political faction.

Wilders has been a controversial figure, particularly for his incendiary rhetoric against Islam, making him a target for extremists. He has lived under round-the-clock protection for years due to death threats and has moved between safe houses for nearly two decades. In 2009, the British government denied him entry, citing concerns about the threat he posed to "community harmony and therefore public security."

In an effort to appeal to mainstream voters in the recent election, Wilders moderated his rhetoric, focusing less on what he terms the "de-Islamization" of the Netherlands and more on addressing practical issues such as housing shortages, a cost-of-living crisis, and access to healthcare.
