ČT24 | Wilders loses ground as pro-European Dutch liberals D66 gain in the election

The Dutch parliamentary election ended with a narrow victory for the liberal D66 over Geert Wilders’ anti-immigration PVV. While D66 gained significant ground, PVV lost seats and mainstream parties continue to rule out cooperation with Wilders. Coalition talks are expected to be difficult and lengthy, but the next government is likely to maintain the Netherlands’ traditionally pro-EU and pro-NATO stance. The article was commented on by Martin Vokálek, Executive Director and Head of the Brussels Office at EUROPEUM.

"After counting over 99% of ballots in the Dutch parliamentary elections, the centrist-liberal D66 emerged slightly ahead of the anti-immigration Party for Freedom (PVV) led by Geert Wilders. Updated projections from public broadcaster NOS indicate that both parties will secure 26 seats each in the 150-member lower house."
