Netherlands to Form its Most Right-Wing Govt in Decades [Video]

Netherlands to Form its Most Right-Wing Govt in DecadesThe Netherlands is set to form its most right-wing government in decades as Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders announced a breakthrough in negotiations. After nearly six months of talks following his party’s significant election victory, Wilders, conceding the position of prime minister, successfully brought four parties to the negotiating table. “We have reached an agreement among negotiators,” stated Wilders. Wilders, a prominent figure in Dutch politics since 2006, notably shaped immigration policy from the opposition, known for his outspoken views on Islam. Joining the coalition are outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s centre-right party, a new centrist party, and a farmers’ protest party, forming a robust majority of 88 seats in the 150-seat Lower House. Dutch media have named Ronald Plasterk, a veteran from the Labour party, as a potential candidate to lead the new government, having played a pivotal role in coalition negotiations.—Netherlands | Right-Wing Government | Geert Wilders | Dutch Nationalist | Dutch Government | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News#netherlands #rightwing #newgovernment #geertwilders #dutch #nationalist #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnewsFirstpost is an Indian news and media website.
