The upcoming Dutch general election, taking place in one of the EU’s richest member states, is marked by the rise of unexpected leaders, including the nationalist Party For Freedom (PVV), the farmer-citizens party, and the far-right Dutch FvD party led by Thierry Baudet. The election has been marred by a violent attack on Baudet, who was assaulted with a beer bottle just days before the polls. The election is also prompting Dutch voters to rethink their country's approach to issues such as sex, drugs, and expats, with moderates becoming more radical in their stance.
