Dutch right-wing leader in trouble as coalition talks collapse, but party’s popularity soars

Geert Wilders, the leader of right-wing PVV, won the most seats in the Dutch elections in November, but has not yet managed to form a government coalition

Newsroom February 9 07:16

Geert Wilders, whose electoral victory in the Netherlands stirred up the European Union, continues to grapple with the formation of the next Dutch government.

After more than two months since the elections, coalition negotiations collapsed on February 6 when Pieter Omtzigt, leader of the centrist New Social Contract (NSC) party, withdrew from the talks.

However, despite the challenges faced by Wilders in establishing a functioning government, Dutch voters remain steadfast in their support for his Party for Freedom (PVV).

A recent poll conducted on February 3 by Peil.nl indicates that the right-wing party would secure 50 seats in the Dutch parliament if elections were held this month—13 more seats than it won in November.
