Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders announced on Wednesday that who will not be Prime Minister of the Netherlands due to the lack of support from the parties with which he was trying to form a government coalition.
Wilders wrote on the social network X that he could only become prime minister if all coalition parties supported him, and “that was not the case”, he writes.
The Islamophobic leader’s announcement came after the Dutch press reported, on Tuesday night, that there had been progress in coalition talks and that the leaders of the four parties involved in the negotiations would remain in parliament.
According to international agencies, Wilders was in talks, on Monday and Tuesday, with the leaders of the center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, the populist Farmers’ Citizens Movement and the centrist New Social Contract. .
On November 23, the Freedom Party led by Wilders won the legislative elections with an openly anti-European and Islamophobic speech. However, the party did not obtain a sufficient majority to govern alone.
Wilders called several times for a ban on mosques, Islamic schools and the Koran, but abandoned the bill on these measures in favor of a possible coalition in these elections.
