Dutch Islamophobic far-right leader Geert Wilders announced on Wednesday March 13 that he would not be prime minister, due to lack of support from the political parties with whom he is trying to form a government coalition.
“I can only become prime minister if ALL parties in the coalition support me. This was not the case “declared Geert Wilders on X, almost four months after the legislative elections.
Dutch media have reported a breakthrough that could lead to the formation of a government of technocrats. Political parties are ready to take a step ” next step “ in the formation of a government at the end of two days of “good” et “intense” discussions, the negotiations supervisor said on Tuesday, who is due to submit a key report on Thursday.
A big victory in November
Geert Wilders stunned the Netherlands and the rest of Europe by obtaining a large victory in the legislative elections in November. The leader of the Freedom Party (PVV) first tried to gain a government majority with the liberal VVD party, the agricultural party BBB and the centrist New Social Contract (NSC) party.
But negotiations reached an impasse last month. “I would like a right-wing cabinet. Less asylum and immigration. The Dutch first »said Geert Wilders. “Love for my country and my voters is great and more important than my own position”he added, even though he had regularly expressed his wish to lead the country.
