Geert Wilders's far-right party's election victory in the Netherlands has sparked concerns about potential policy changes, including restricting international students and scrapping key climate policies. His stance on touchstone issues, opposition to arms supplies to Ukraine, and call for an end to non-European immigration have become central to discussions about forming a coalition government. The rise in support for the Dutch far right has been linked to issues such as migration and Euroskepticism. Wilders's potential influence on the EU elections, the Dutch establishment, and European right-wing politics is being closely watched. His support for Donald Trump, stance on immigration and asylum seekers, and the diverse coalition supporting him are also noteworthy. Potential compromises in forming a government are under discussion.
The diverse coalition that supported Dutch radical-right leader Geert Wilders's election is further proof that populist voters are not as homogenous as some political scientists think. https://t.co/Y2S9AFJ8x2 via Maria-Katrina Cortez

Anger over mass migration continues to propel political upsets, as Geert Wilders’s win shows. But another decisive demographic trend—the collapse of birth rates—has thus far failed to translate into a coherent political program. This is disastrous, argues @leilamechoui./1 https://t.co/8OVijglACb
